As women are taking the rein in the head-of-household position, the Queen of the abode is now finding peace in a new space created known as the She Shed. Females are turning a room, space, or actual shed into her own private oasis to get away from the others in the household.

Leaving the men to their Man Cave in the basement or garage, the women are now taking control to create their own dream haven. With some helpful She Shed tips any female can easily fashion their own paradise to find moments to hide away in.

  • Place a recliner, or a chair with ottoman, in which to read a great book.

  • Place a table and lamp next to the chair.

  • Allocate a tablet or laptop to become your TV for the moment to watch favorite shows and movies.

  • Keep a pair of socks, a throw blanket, and pillow for cuddling warmth.

  • If possible, add a decorative standing folding screen to the décor to keep the She Shed space private when in use.

  • Once the space is created, make sure to allocate time to spend in the She Shed.

  • Work it into the routine schedule to spend precious destressing me-time moments regularly in the She Shed.
