Retro-Modern Shed Steals the Show at SXSW Home Depot Display

A Bold, Bright Display Shed at SXSW

What do you get when you combine orange flamingos, succulents, and shiplap? A backyard shed that screams summer—and turns heads. This 10×10 TR-800 was the centerpiece of our Home Depot photo booth at South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, TX, and it made quite the impression.

Known for music, innovation, and bold creativity, SXSW was the perfect place to showcase just how stylish and versatile a modern garden shed can be.

Custom Features That Pop

From the outside, the shed’s two-tone white exterior served as the perfect canvas for bright orange accents. Custom shutters and draperies added personality to the sidewall windows, while the open doorway featured a set of transom windows that let in extra light.

It wasn’t just a shed—it was a vibe.

Interior Design That Channels Summer Style

Inside, the shed was styled by Jacin Fitzgerald Events with a fun retro-modern theme. Think bright florals, lush greenery, and perfectly placed pops of orange. Tropical plants, succulents, and orange gerbera daisies filled the window boxes, adding life and texture to the display.

From She Shed to home office—or even a guest room—this versatile shed was filled with cozy, functional furniture and creative design elements to inspire any backyard transformation.

A Backyard Shed That Stole the Spotlight

With plenty of natural and electric lighting, the shed was more than just a photo booth backdrop—it was a statement piece. Whether you’re into modern garden sheds, retro flair, or just looking for creative shed inspiration, this SXSW display showed just how far a little imagination can go.
