In the search for a space of one’s own, there’s a looming debate in some households over what are known as she sheds and man caves. The debate is generally around which one to have (if you’re strapped for cash or space, or both) and who deserves a private space more – the husband or the wife. If you’re lucky enough to have a partner who respects your need for peace and quiet in a part of your home that’s unique to you, then the battle is half won. Next comes the design of your shed or cave. That’s where the following images come in. We’ve compiled some top-of-the-line inspiration for both!

1. Classic She Shed

This model of a backyard shed made for relaxing, working, visiting, or all of the above is fashioned in a classic design that’s quaint and elegant. Its open-air plan allows for the flow of ideas just the same as the breeze that will blow nicely through its openings and eaves. What urbane Texas lady wouldn’t love a private space of her own like this?

2. Sharp and Versatile Man Cave

This man cave design features all the necessities – a bar, a fridge for the modern-day foodie, and a TV to feature the latest movies, shows, or game. It’s a great place for friends to gather or for a solo day or night of fun and relaxation.

3. Modern-Day Mini

A private retreat in the backyard perhaps modeled after the stylings of your full-size home, a mini version of your domicile can make one of the best she sheds. It has inviting seating outside, attractive columns, and clean, crisp styling on the exterior. The interior can only be imagined as the welcoming workspace or relaxing hangout that you envision.
