      Make a nature pond with a few half-cut whiskey barrels; or dig one out!

      Cut out a nice curved bed in the corner and fill with shade-loving plants. Google them and start collecting!

      Evergreen ferns leaving a path to access the side of the studio or just celebrate it as an area you won’t need to mow but plant lots of spring bulbs (the area under my lilac tree is looking cheerful thanks to a few tete-a-tete daffs at the moment; that it’ll be brown all summer doesn’t bother me too much).

      There are a range of plants that will do amazing things in shade.

      I will add Pulmonaria to the list. A brilliant plant for shade and early pollinators in March and April.

      You might also consider a major haircut for the cause of the shade, if it is yours and not your neighbours….

      Are you sure it’s the shade stopping it from growing? I only ask because the majority of my north facing back garden gets exactly zero direct sun at any point ever, and I have a lot of very happy grass growing in it year round. There have been years it has grown so happily that it’s needed mowing every week to keep it at a reasonable height, and I don’t do anything to it otherwise. It just.. grows. Sometimes very quickly.

      There are many different types of lawn grass, and some that not only tolerate shade but thrive in it. If I had any idea which I have, I would tell you, but it came with the garden! If you haven’t been able to get any of them to grow in this spot though, then I would be looking at other causes personally as it may be that nothing can grow there and it would be a shame to sacrifice some lovely plants to realise this.

      Wood chip, bluebells, snowdrops, wild garlic. Maybe not all three!

      If you don’t take up any of these very helpful suggestions of others, there is shade-tolerant grass seed available. 

      Lawnsmith do a good one: Shadygreen. 
      Other suppliers are available.

      For dry shade I’ve found brunnera cope well (I have clay soil as well, though I add compost into the planting hole, mixed with the soil). Some ferns also cope well with dry shade.

      Plenty of good suggestions here. But what about some slabs/hardstanding, some pots and a nice little 2 seater bench.

      That will bring the whole thing together a bit more.

      I would make a nice little paved area outside your studio, with a curved edge that fits up to where the grass grows. Couple of comfy garden chairs and a side table to enjoy your garden from.

      Options:
      (1) Give up, edge border add woodchip, pop in a seat or other focus point;
      (2) Ground cover or small shrub type plants for dry shade and woodland edge;
      (3) Try specialised shade lawn seed. (4) Loggery would be good there.

      Do you Air BnB the garden room? Swear I’ve stayed in that garden last year 😂
