Fabulous Ways to Customize a Prefab Shed

Fabulous Ways to Customize a Prefab Shed

A shed doesn’t have to be an outdoor eyesore! A stylish place to hang your hat, store garden tools, and even do some potting isn’t just for those who can invest in an expensive custom build. A prefab shed can be brightened up in a jiffy with some simple and stylish DIY ideas.

You may not think of it, but adding a bright and happy color to the walls of a prefab shed will change it completely. Look around the garden for inspiration and ideas. You could mimic the sunny yellow of the sunflower patch, nod to summer skies with bright blue, or add a pop of bright red poppy.

Paint the siding, the trim, or the doors, customizing as little or as much as you want. If you are feeling artistic, you could also stencil a design or paint a mural.

Nothing says dreary like a windowless space. Adding a window or two to a prefab shed will transform the space and make it much more loveable, both inside and out. Look for old windows or window kits first, as custom windows are much more expensive.

Adding some flower boxes to the shed makes it seem more in place in the garden. Without plants, it simply stands out. With overflowing baskets of flowers, herbs, and vegetables, it takes its place as the centerpiece of function and fashion in the garden.

Add some sparkle to the shed with a funky light fixture. If you are close to a power source, you have a multitude of options from a farmhouse pendant to a sparkly chandelier. If your shed stands alone, you can still add light with either battery-powered LED lights or a solar fixture.

Don’t just use your shed as a dumping ground. Instead, add some storage solutions like pegboard tool racks, hooks, and shelves to keep your space organized. A table-height counter on one side can double as a potting bench for rainy days when you still need to garden. Organizing hand tools by hanging them above lets you find what you need with ease.

Don’t forget the ceiling! You can hang some hooks up high to keep lesser-used items out of the way until you need them.
