At Tuin, we talk at length about our Log Cabins and their versatility. You can truly make your cabin an extension of your home as if it were terraced alongside it. That being said, you may wonder how your day-to-day life would unfold with one in the mix. From work to the weekends, let’s walk through some daily life activities in your Log Cabin.
Now of course we don’t expect you’re spending every waking moment, 24/7, in a cabin. This is simply a fun guide to show a cabin’s potential in your future daily life.
Working from Home – Garden Office
Firstly, it is pretty apparent that hybrid and remote working are mainstays in today’s working world. With many of us enjoying this flexible work style, we all desire a daily space for home working. Our Log Cabins have always boasted the ability to be excellent Garden Offices even before it became popular.
Many people spend their WFH days either cooped up on an uncomfy sofa or cramped on the dining table, so here’s why a cabin makes a much better workspace:
- Peace and Quiet: Log cabins offer a serene and secluded atmosphere, minimizing distractions commonly found in urban settings.
- Natural Environment: Being surrounded by nature can boost creativity, productivity, and overall well-being. Not to mention, our Log Cabins blend seamlessly with your garden’s natural surroundings.
- Work-Life Balance: Separating your workspace from your living spaces creates a much healthier work-life balance overall.
- Customization: Not tied to the constraints of your home’s aesthetics or the monotony of an office block, you can transform your Garden Office into your ultimate work environment.

Lunch, Breaks and Dining
Next, we’re all very guilty of sitting at our desks and having lunch whilst working. It’s important to separate your breaks from your work where you can. That’s why, whether you have a Garden Office or not, a Log Cabin is a nice space to be away from the screen whilst you refuel.
Quite a few of our Log Cabins feature front canopies, providing the perfect sheltered outdoor space for a garden bench. That way, on sunny days, al fresco lunch breaks can be enjoyed to their fullest. This is a good habit and an easy thing to incorporate in the daily life in your log cabin.
On the other hand, on your off-days, Log Cabin dining really comes into play. Many of our larger cabins, as well as our Modern Log Cabins with included Gazebo spaces, have the capacity for communal dining areas. With the inclusion of an Outdoor Kitchen Station, you’re all set for regular dinner parties and weekend meals with family from your cabin.
Taking it Easy – Leisure and Relaxation
We all like to take our time away from our busy lives to relax in more leisurely activities. From reading to meditation, your Log Cabin is that perfect escape to unwind. Many customers transform their cabins into for this very purpose. Here are just a few ideas to improve your daily life leisurely for your cabin:
- Reading Room / Library: Surely the most picturesque use of a cabin, allowing you peaceful reading among nature.
- Meditation Space: Unwind and clear your mind in an atmospheric and spacious meditation area.
- Yoga Room: The diegetic sounds of nature also lend well to Yoga. Align your chakras without distraction in your log cabin.
Working Out and Exercise – Home Gym
For the more active and exercise-focused amongst us, you can make your daily workout routine convenient and more enjoyable utilising your Log Cabin as a home gym. Skip the trip to the expensive gym membership, whilst also skipping the trip over your dumbbells in your living room.
There are a lot more benefits to having a gym in the comfort of your own back garden. This includes avoiding the business of a commercial gym and having a more open, refreshing space to work out. If you’re less confident, or going through a personal weight-loss journey, exercising in your cabin provides a truly judgement-free zone. That way, you can feel more comfortable and feel more motivated to achieve your goals.
Socialising and Hosting – Garden Pub
Another popular choice for regular Log Cabin use, especially at the weekends. You really can’t go wrong with having your own Garden Pub space for personal enjoyment as well as social gatherings and parties.
After a long, exhaustive week, it’s reassuring to know you have a fun, leisurely area to hang out in on the weekends. Not only is it convenient, but it saves expensive commutes and trips to the city to do the same thing.
Sleeping & Ending Your Day – Residential Log Cabins
That’s right! One of the many uses of a Log Cabin includes its residential properties. Many of our larger 70mm Cabins are utilised for this very purpose. This creates a cosy and natural environment so sleep and get snuggled in. Ending a long work week by getting a restful night’s sleep in your cabin might just be the de-stress you need.
Alternatively, this type of cabin is great for housing additional family member’s. If you have a young adult who’s not quite flown the nest, this is an opportunity to house them in their own abode, giving a newfound sense of independence.
Hopefully, you’ve found new appreciation for daily life in your log cabin. It’s the little things that truly make daily living with your Log Cabin worth while.
