One way to do that is by spreading cheer throughout your home and garden, including your garden room. These structures are simply perfect for relaxing and spreading some cheer.

Deck the Log Cabin with Boughs of Holly
If you’re looking to make your Garden Building festive, there’s no better way than with some classic decorations — or “decks”! Let’s explore the kinds of decorations you might want to use:
A Christmas tree
This one is a must; you simply can’t create that classic Christmas feeling without a Christmas tree!
A tree brings the festive season to life, adding cosiness to any room with its classic pine smell and the warmth of the decorations. Choosing a tree isn’t difficult, but deciding between a reusable plastic tree and an authentic pine can be. Feel free to refer to this guide to find which best meets your needs.
If you buy a real pine, consider giving it a second life by planting it in your garden! Plant it as soon as possible after using it — if the tree stays inside for more than a week and a half, it probably won’t survive outdoors again.
Whichever tree you choose, you’ll want to deck it out with all the fittings! Add flashy lights, colourful tinsel, and, of course, baubles galore. Finish it off with a star, and you’ll instantly create a festive feeling in your insulated garden room!
Room decks
Complement the decorations on your tree with a slew of festive touches for the room itself! There are endless possibilities when it comes to decorating, but here are a few ideas to consider:
- If you have a sofa in your garden room, add festive cheer with a holiday throw! It’s an easy way to make the sofa look Christmassy while enhancing its comfort.
- Deck the hall and the walls! Attach some lovely Christmas garland to your walls to create a warm and festive atmosphere. You can also hang baubles and ornaments on the garlands to match the style of your tree and enhance the effect.
- Consider hanging some stockings and filling them with a few small gifts. This spreads some of your festive happiness around. You might spend Christmas afternoon in your garden room, relaxing after a big lunch and opening those little stocking fillers you left there!
A wonderful wreath
A beautiful wreath is the perfect way to complete the decorations in your log cabin or summer house. You can buy one from a trusted store or gather the materials and make one yourself. It’s not too difficult, and the satisfaction of creating it yourself is worth the effort.
Hang it on either the inside or outside of the door for that final touch that announces your garden room is ready for Christmas!
Putting Up Decks Outside
Adding interior decorations is one way to make your garden room Christmassy, but exterior decorations are how you elevate the festive spirit!
When snow falls and temperatures drop, reaching your garden room can be challenging. With exterior decor, you can still admire and enjoy the festive look from the comfort of your home.
Lights
Lights are a staple outside the Christmas deck. There are hundreds of thousands of light types and configurations you can try. For instance, try putting up string lights along the roof’s edge and down the window frames. This will highlight the structure and create beautiful-looking shapes. You can also hang up LED light shapes – like snowflakes and Christmas bells – from the windows. The outdoor lights will also reflect off the windows, adding a lovely glow.
In addition, you can also hang up LED light shapes – like snowflakes and Christmas bells – from the windows. And, to go the extra mile, why not string lights along the sides of your garden leading down to the Garden Room?
Make the Most of It!
Now that you’ve got all your decks set up inside and outside, it’s time to enjoy your garden. Why not take advantage of your cosy and inviting retreat and host a Christmas party there? Get your friends or family around and throw a little bash. A lit fireplace, beautiful Christmas decks, and a huddle of people will all contribute to a cheery atmosphere.
