What is a she shed? How to create your own backyard retreat
This lifestyle trend became popular in the 2010s when women everywhere began looking to create their own version of the “man cave.” These small spaces (typically housed in a backyard shed) are meant to be a personal retreat. They can be used for a home office, a reading nook, a craft studio, a cozy hangout spot and so much more!
Although they are entirely customizable, you’ll often see several common themes: cozy textures, comfortable seating, nature-inspired decor and warm lighting.
If you’re excited to start developing your own she shed, there’s good news: You can turn it into a beautiful space without spending a fortune! Dollar General has plenty of amazing finds for $15 and under that will help you make your spot into a dreamy escape.
