In a busy world, it is sometimes a struggle to go back to basics and enjoy the little things the world around us has to offer when you a have a million and one things left on your never-ending to do list. With each hut we design, build and deliver, we put our heart and soul into ensuring that our shepherd’s huts are more than just a structure, but an addition to your life that allows you to make the most out of an amazing space.
With that in mind, we have found a few ways in which we love to utilise these huts to go back to basics. To walk through the shepherd hut doors and allow the worries and stresses of the day take a step back. Allowing you to feel at one with nature again.
Back To Nature
Sometimes, nothing feels better than to be able to escape to the basics that nature brings. Some of our favourite ways to bring nature back into our lives are incredibly simple, from having fresh plants in our huts and homes and, weather permitting, opening as many windows as we can, especially when they fold all the way back like they do in our Meridian Workspace Hut. Bringing in that fresh air can leave you feeling refreshed and reinvigorated for whatever is left to do for the day.
If you are ready to take the next steps, why not journey a little further and take some of your everyday activities outside, from sitting under a tree to read or even indulging in an outdoor shower or bath. You can even try a little spot of forest bathing, an ancient practice from Japan to help relax you.
Back To Family and Friends
When life gets busy, we often lose sight of the everyday relationships we hold dear. Like many other animals, humans are innately sociable creatures, which is why having social connections is often known as one of our basic needs to thrive and flourish.
That is why when we designed our Blackdown Chassis Deck, we wanted to ensure that it was filled with endless opportunities to be reimagined and used, so that whether you wanted a space to sit under the stars together with loved ones, or even host an outdoor buffet using an outdoor kitchen, you can create those little extra special nuturing moments.
Back To You
Lastly, what good is having a fine space and time made especially for you, if you are not yet back to yourself. At Blackdown Shepherd Huts, our goal is to help you realise your dreams, your goals, your creative flair that says this is who I am, and this is what I want to achieve.
Whether you are entrusting us with your dream or embarking on an adventure with our Tasker Self Build Hut, we want you to go back to the basics of who you were born to be, rather than what anyone expects you to be.
How will you go back to basics?
This Summer, we encourage you to take a step forward, by taking a step back and go back to basics. Donate or sell things you no longer need or which doesn’t serve you, enjoy the little moments with loved ones and wherever you can, embrace and be embraced by the warmth of nature.
