Would you like to create extra living or storage space in the garden? Would you like to sit outside long into the evening? Then a garden house with veranda is the ideal combination. The veranda acts as an extension of the garden house, giving you an extra spot to relax, dine, barbecue or play a game. What more could you want?
Designer garden house with veranda: the possibilities
Broadly speaking, verandas can be divided into two design styles: modern or classic. Below we list the features of these two types of veranda, including a few examples for inspiration.
Features of a garden house with veranda: modern/sleek
A garden house with veranda in a modern or sleek style is all about simplicity, functionality and a design that fits perfectly with today. The features at a glance:
- Sleek design
- Minimalist appearance
- Neutral colours such as anthracite or white
- A sense of openness and space
- Fits well with contemporary architecture
Example of a modern veranda
To give you a good impression of this style, below you'll find an example of a modern veranda that is ideal for a garden house:
Features of a garden house with veranda: rural/classic
A garden house with a veranda in a rural or classic style is the opposite of the modern style and has the following features:
- Graceful lines
- Timeless and classic appearance
- Fits well with historic or traditional homes
- Evokes a feeling of cosiness and warmth
- Blends seamlessly into a natural environment
Example of classic verandas
With a garden house with a veranda in rural style, you might immediately think of a wooden construction, but that's not necessarily the case. It's the graceful lines that ultimately create the classic look. For inspiration, take a look at the photos below of a classic veranda:
Traditional or modern: what will you choose?
Do you like a timeless, warm appearance and does your house have traditional architecture? Then a classic garden house with veranda can be a good choice. But the garden house can of course also blend completely into the garden with a rural appearance. Do you prefer sleek lines and minimalism? Then a modern garden house with veranda suits your taste better. Or perhaps you'll go for something extra bold and combine a classic garden house with a modern veranda. And what about a garden house with glass sliding walls? That way you combine a garden house with lots of extra natural light.
Roof type: wood, glass or polycarbonate?
An important consideration for a veranda on a garden house is the roof type. For a garden house you might quickly think of a wooden veranda. Such a wooden veranda fits well with a garden house in a rural style, but if you want to enjoy plenty of natural light, then a veranda with a glass or polycarbonate roof type is an ultimate solution. Moreover, these two roof types require almost no maintenance compared with a wooden veranda. But what is the difference between glass and polycarbonate? The features at a glance:
- Glass veranda: ultra-strong safety glass, exudes luxury, offers the most unobstructed view, blocks the most sound and has a longer lifespan
- Polycarbonate veranda: lighter than glass, cheaper in price and available with extra light filtering (opal polycarbonate).
Both roof types can be used in a veranda in modern or classic style. Besides the material, you can choose between a transparent or non-transparent veranda. And there are also verandas available with sun protection, so you have full control over the amount of light coming in.
The surface as a connecting factor
When realising a summer house with a veranda, it is not just about the construction; the floor plays a crucial role in the style. Where stone tiles can sometimes look chilly, a bamboo decking literally and figuratively brings a natural balance to the interior. It is the ideal basis that enhances the traditional cosiness of a classic design through the warm colour of the bamboo. Because the boards can be laid in different ways, they also fit perfectly in a modern summer house.
