Contemporary/Modern Garden Rooms

At Bakers, we specialise in modern, contemporary garden buildings that combine style, functionality, and longevity. Our garden rooms are defined by clean lines, flawless finishes, and high-quality materials, ensuring a sleek, sophisticated space that enhances your home. So how do we achieve this?

Shape

The shape of your garden room is one of the most important elements in achieving a modern look. A flat roof is the ideal choice, creating a streamlined and contemporary appearance.

 

Aside from its aesthetic benefits, a flat roof can also offer a practical advantage. In many cases, it falls within permitted development rights, meaning you can avoid the hassle of planning permission. This makes it a straightforward, stress-free option for homeowners looking to add a garden room with minimal disruption.

Doors and Windows

A contemporary garden room should feel light, open, and spacious, which is why choosing the right doors and windows is essential. For the ultimate high-end finish, bi-fold or tri-fold doors are the perfect choice. These large, expansive doors create an impressive, seamless connection with your outdoor space, allowing light to flood in while enhancing the modern aesthetic.

 

However, we understand that not every budget allows for this premium option. That’s why we also offer wide French doors paired with large windows, a more cost-effective alternative that still delivers a contemporary, elegant look. At Bakers, we provide six different door solutions, allowing you to find the perfect balance between design, function, and budget.

External Finish

A contemporary garden room isn’t just about its shape, the materials used on the exterior are just as important. To achieve the sleek, high-end finish that modern buildings demand, we use MTX (Medite Tricoya Extreme) cladding as standard. MTX offers a 50-year guarantee, meaning you can enjoy a beautiful, low-maintenance garden room for decades. Unlike traditional wood cladding, MTX does not require constant upkeep, and since paint is purely for decoration rather than protection, it is a zero-maintenance option that shows no peeling or fading.

 

Unlike many other providers, we also use MTX for every trim, architrave, and fascia, ensuring a seamless, sophisticated look. This attention to detail is what sets our buildings apart, eliminating the need for plastic trims that can compromise the overall design.

 

Your choice of colour plays a huge role in achieving a truly contemporary feel, which is why we offer a wide selection of painted finishes to match your vision. Whether you prefer subtle, earthy tones or bold statement colours, our luxury contemporary garden rooms can be tailored to suit your exact aesthetic preferences.

Interiors

While a contemporary exterior is key, the interior design is what truly transforms your garden room into a functional, inspiring space. The right materials and finishes can elevate the look and feel, making it a place you genuinely enjoy spending time in.

 

If you’re looking for a high-end, bespoke feel, consider incorporating feature walls, oak panelling, or even stone accents. These elements add depth and character while maintaining a modern, luxurious look.

Design-Led Options

At Bakers, we love collaborating with clients who have a clear idea, as well as with architects and garden designers, to ensure our buildings stay at the cutting edge of trends and technology.

 

Our show centre features a range of contemporary finishes with two rooms being completed by renowned garden designers making these buildings truly unique. One features Millboard Envelo cladding with a gold decor, while the other is made from London Stone’s “Design Clad,” which resembles steel.

 

Creating a modern, stylish garden room doesn’t have to be complicated. At Bakers, we handle everything from design to installation, ensuring a smooth, stress-free process.
