What can I fit in a SheShed Star Cabin?

The Star Cabin - it's no secret that it's the most popular style of cabin in the SheShed range. It is one of our original cabin styles with its distinct pitched roof, beautiful double-glazed French doors and window, it's also available in a modern mono-pitch style roof. The Star cabin is an extremely versatile cabin.

It proves that a small space can offer a lot, whether you're in need of a dedicated home office space, a creative art studio, a private music space, a compact home gym, or an extra room for guests or hobbies, the Star Cabin adapts effortlessly to your needs.

Let's take a look at a few popular configuration options to help you visualise what can fit into a Star cabin and how you might use yours: 

A Dedicated Home Office

If the number of customer photos we have is any indication, then it's safe to say the most popular use for a Star cabin is as a home office, and with the clever placement of a few key furniture items it's easy to see why.

In this configuration you can see how there's ample space for two workstations including desks and chairs. With one desk located on the back wall and the other on the side wall, there's even space for bookcase and a client/reading chair.

You could also easily change this layout and fit two desks side by side on one wall and still have space for the bookcase and chair, perhaps even a 2-seater sofa instead.

A Spare Room / Sleepout

At 9m2 the Star is often bigger than a lot of rooms inside existing properties and so it makes for the perfect sleepout/spare room.

As you can see in this configuration, there's ample space to fit a queen-size bed, two side tables, a small wardrobe or bookcase and a chair!

Two single beds would also be another great use of this space, with one placed against either side wall there's still plenty of room for a side table in between them to place a lamp and books etc.

A Creative Art / Hobby Space

It's often a dream for many creatives to have a dedicated space where they can set up all of their materials and tools etc.

A space where they are free to create and can escape too when they're in a creative mood with no need to pack things away so they're not cluttering up the house.

The Star cabin is perfect for making this dream a reality, there's plenty of space to fit storage and shelving, a desk, a workstation and somewhere to sit.

Tips for making the most of your star cabin  

When it comes to getting the most out of the space you do have in your Star cabin there are a few key things you can do: 

  • Use the vertical space – Make the most of the wall space and add shelving or pegboards above your desk.
  • Place furniture against walls - This maximises floor space and keeps the centre open, creating a more spacious, accessible layout. 
  • Opt for multi-functional furniture - Choose items like a desk with built-in drawers to keep the reduce the need for other forms of storage
