Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Gar. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about converting a shed into a studio.
Converting a shed into a studio is a fantastic way to create a dedicated space, but there are several important things to plan for.
First, you'll need to ensure the shed is weatherproof and insulated. Proper insulation will keep the space comfortable year-round, and adding weatherproofing will protect against moisture.
Next, think about electrical wiring if you need power for lighting, heating, or equipment—this will require a licensed electrician. You’ll also want to consider flooring options, as typical shed floors may not be ideal for a studio. Adding comfortable and durable flooring, such as vinyl planks or even carpet tiles, can help transform the space. Ventilation is another key factor, so consider adding windows or a small fan to improve airflow.
Finally, make sure to plan for lighting—natural light through windows or skylights can create a bright, inviting space, but you might also want to add task lighting for work or hobbies.

Once you've decided on what you'll be including in the space, let us know and we can provide further advice on specific aspects to help bring your vision to life.

Hi @Gar,
Just another note to say that with any kind of conversion of a shed, it's best to touch base with your local council to find out whether any planning permission is required or whether there are any other requirements you must adhere to.
