If you’re an avid reader of NONAGON.style, then you’ll be well versed in the modern man cave, but have you ever heard of the she shed? It’s become a mainstay of Pinterest in recent years, gaining traction as the perfect garden getaway for those craving a little place to call their own. I’m not personally the biggest fan of its gendered name, I am intrigued by the idea of giving the humble backyard shed a new lease of life. Especially when the spaces turn out to be as beautiful as this curated collection of she shed inspirations. Keep scrolling to see more!

Surrounded by peach trees and grapevines, this rustic shed comes with a tempered glass roof to create a greenhouse effect. The glass window panes were rescued from a salvage yard, lending a shabby chic feel to the whole aesthetic.

Inside, ditsy floral pillows, upcycled furnishings, and a collection of green jadeite and milk glass vases continue the country-themed aesthetic. The chandelier detail is unexpected, yet I love how it juxtaposes with the simplicity of the wood finishes.

Originally a potting shed, this space now functions as a glorious escape. It’s without doubt the perfect place to paint, catch up with friends, or just nap.

Blessed with a supersize canvas, Charlotte really made the most of the space by approaching the interior design the same as any other room in the home.

White-washed walls and a plethora of windows make this escape feel bright and spacious. It’s a far cry from the dingy sheds of the past. Meanwhile, thoughtful decorative touches, such as the artwork and layered rugs, help to create a polished overall look.

I’m a huge fan of summery rattan textures, so this shed gets an instant thumbs up from me. The hanging swing chair is a beauty! Someone transport me here STAT so I can spend an afternoon curled up with my favorite book.

A playful baby blue exterior is the first way this tiny space makes its mark. Because if you’re going to go to the trouble of creating a shed of your own, you might as well make a statement with it.

When it comes to the interior, my favorite thing about this shed has to be the play on levels. The sleeping loft above introduces a real club house feel to the space. The vibrancy of the red, white and blue color scheme is nicely balanced by the neutral cork and wood accents.

If you’re lucky enough to have good weather on the reg, then why not think about utilizing the exterior of your shed? Here, a built in plank of wood over a firewood rack doubles as a handy bar or servery ledge. A great idea for when (and if) you ever feel like sharing your shed with others.

I especially love the fact that Erin’s shed was created within a small budget. Most of the details in here, such as the open shelves and distressed desk, were DIY projects. It just goes to show how far thrift and creativity can get you.

To complete the look, don’t forget about greenery! More than simply a sweet throwback to your shed’s modest beginnings, indoor plants will instantly bring life to your shed.

If you’re unsure what to go for, make like Erin and opt for a whimsical hanging vine. Or for the gardening novices, how about a box planter full of succulents instead? For more plant ideas, make sure to check out our definitive guide to indoor house plants!

The star of this small space has to be that hardy vintage wood dining table. Here, Jeska took a saw to its legs to create the perfect low-height piece to accommodate her bohemian vision of a picnic style afternoon tea.

Every detail in this delightful space invites an exclamation of joy and wonder. Be it the weathered wood paneling or the eclectic collection of framed prints.

The kinfolk philosophy of going back to basics is ideal for small space design. Here, for instance, the small size of the shed helps the overall aesthetic of pared back simplicity look visually striking. Anything more, and the look may have wandered into cluttered chaos territory.
