We all love our families. But there comes a time – usually when the kids are having a meltdown with their after-dinner homework – when the urge to escape becomes too hard to ignore.

We’re not talking about catching the next flight out to Spain, like a frazzled mom in a women’s fiction novel.

You don’t have to travel that far to enjoy a bit of your time… in fact, you don’t need to go further than your own backyard.

We’re talking, of course, about building your own she-shed.

Everyone has heard of man caves by now. She-sheds are essentially the same concept, but for women.

The idea is simple: a woman transforms her backyard shed into her own personalized hideaway.

You can decorate your she-shed however you like: with flowers, cozy blankets, colorful paintings, hammocks, a cocktail bar – you name it. The idea of a she-shed is that it’s yours, so nothing is off-limits – not even the stuff you know the rest of the family wouldn’t be in to.

If you need a bit of she-shed inspo, look no further than the masterpieces featured in this article.

There’s something for everyone, and these sheds suit most budgets, too. If you’ve already got a spare shed to transform into your own hideaway, even better!

Let’s take a look at 7 of the most beautiful she-sheds to exist today.

1. Open-plan workspace

She-sheds can be for relaxation – but they can also be for pursuing a passion project. If you love to knit, upcycle furniture, paint, or anything else, this she-shed would be perfect for you.

2. Mini barn conversion

This rustic she-shed looks like a mini barn conversion. Hopefully it’s as vintage chic on the inside as it is on the outside!

3. Private workspace

Many of us have had to adjust to working from home this year. If having an office inside your actual house seems too close to the family, you need a she-shed office like this instead.

4. Woodland hideaway

This she-shed looks like something that belongs in a fairytale. We’d love to stumble across this on our walk through the woods.

5. Pastel haven

The pastel colors of this she-shed are so pretty and inviting – and it’s all in the details here. The pink shutters and little “welcome to the country” sign are adorable!

6. Flowers galore

This person decided to move their business into their she-shed, and we couldn’t think of a better premises. Why spend hundreds of dollars per month on rent when you could work for free from a beautiful she-shed in your own backyard?

7. Gothic mansion

And finally, if you can stretch your budget that little bit further… why not indulge in a she-mansion? This stately home, complete with a climbing wall and rooftop terrace, looks more like a permanent residence than the sort of place you’d visit for the odd evening here and then. When – and how – can we move in?!

If you already have your own she-shed that matches up to the ones in this article, we’d love to see it! Share a pic of your garden hideaway in the comments.
