10 Rooms and Structures You Can Convert Into a Sauna

Dreaming of a home sauna but not sure where to put it? Good news—you don’t need a spa or luxury retreat to enjoy the benefits of heat therapy at home. With the right planning, ventilation, and materials, many common rooms and backyard structures can be transformed into functional and beautiful sauna spaces. Whether you want an indoor sauna or a rustic outdoor setup, here are 10 rooms and structures you can convert into your own personal sanctuary.

🏠 Indoor Spaces You Can Convert Into a Sauna

1. Spare Bathroom

Bathrooms already have the essentials—waterproof surfaces, ventilation, and plumbing. You can replace a tub or shower with a pre-cut sauna kit or install an infrared sauna in the corner. Add a proper vapor barrier and a sauna heater to complete the setup.

2. Walk-In Closet

A walk-in closet is the perfect cozy size for a 1- or 2-person sauna. Strip the shelving, insulate the walls, and line it with sauna-safe wood like thermo aspen, alder, cedar or hemlock. Add a bench and a compact electric or infrared heater, and you're ready to go. You can also shop our complete sauna room liner kits to accomplish this conversion.

3. Home Gym Corner

If you already have a fitness area, a sauna is a natural addition. Set aside a corner for a vertical unit or install a small infrared sauna. It's ideal for post-workout recovery and daily wellness routines.

4. Basement

Basements offer privacy, quiet, and space. With the right insulation, they’re excellent for traditional sauna builds. Consider a custom layout using our Custom Sauna Design Service.

5. Garage

Detached or attached, your garage can be framed to house a larger sauna setup—great for group sessions or a changing room add-on. Make sure to insulate thoroughly and install a 240V electrical line for an electric heater.

🌲 Outdoor Structures You Can Convert Into a Sauna

6. Garden Shed

Turn your ordinary shed into an extraordinary backyard sauna. Add insulation, a vapor barrier, and proper ventilation. Then, choose between a wood-burning stove for authenticity or an electric heater for convenience.

7. Detached Garage or Workshop

Many people convert a section of a workshop or outbuilding into a sauna. This offers room for a lounge or changing area alongside the heat room itself. Use an outdoor sauna kit or design from scratch with our help.

8. Greenhouse (With Modifications)

It may sound unconventional, but greenhouses can work—especially if they’re framed with heat-resistant materials. Swap out some glass panels for wood, and use infrared heating panels to minimize heat loss.

9. Shipping Container or Tiny Home

Shipping containers and tiny homes offer solid shells and defined dimensions—perfect for modular sauna installations. Use DIY kits or build custom to fit the footprint.

10. Pool House

Have a pool or hot tub? A pool house is the perfect complement to your hydrotherapy space. You can either build a sauna inside the structure or place a barrel sauna beside it for an eye-catching feature.
