How to create the perfect conservatory

Conservatories have become increasingly popular in recent years, and they offer homeowners the chance to add extra living space to their existing properties. For expanding families, the conservatory allows for the space you need without having to move home. Not all conservatories are suitable for every property, of course, but you’ll be pleased to hear that there are many different styles available. The size of the conservatory depends on how big your garden is and what type of space you have available. If you want to maximise the space within the conservatory then choose a style that offers a large amount of glazing. This allows plenty of sunlight into the room and also gives you lots of options for decorating.

The modern conservatory idea is about creating a space where you can enjoy the outdoors while still being inside. Glass is a great material to use because it lets natural light flood into your home, whilst providing privacy when required. There’s something wonderfully pleasing about relaxing in the conservatory and enjoying views of your garden.

There are several different options when building a conservatory or glasshouse. You can either build one yourself, or hire an experienced, skilled builder to do the work for you. If you choose to build one yourself, you will need to consider the size of your glass structure, how much money you want to spend, what materials you want to use and whether you prefer a traditional style or something more contemporary. Needless to say, if you engage the services of a building specialist these are questions that you will have help with.

This is far more than just a glass box tacked on to your house

You might think that a conservatory is just a big glass box, but it’s actually much more than that. A conservatory can provide a sense of privacy, allowing you to relax in your favourite chair while reading a book, watching TV or chatting with friends. If you want to make sure that your conservatory looks amazing, you can add some greenery to the walls and ceilings. These plants can help brighten up the room and give off a calming scent in the process.

It’s also a good idea to try picking something that blooms throughout the spring, summer and autumn seasons. Monsteras, ferns and spider plants are ideal choices because they bloom seasonally, but they won’t take over your entire room. Remember, choose something that fits into the overall design scheme of your space. For example, if you prefer a modern design in the conservatory, it would be better to pick a plant that doesn’t look too old fashioned.

A conservatory is one of those rooms where many will spend most of their time. It’s where you come to escape the heat of summer and enjoy some cool air, for example. As such it needs to feel as welcoming as the rest of the home. When designing a conservatory there are many things to consider, including lighting, heating, ventilation, insulation and much more. But what about the furniture? What does a conservatory need to make it a comfortable room?

Think about how you will use your conservatory

The best way to start thinking about how you want to furnish your conservatory is to think about how you plan to use it. For lounging around watching TV or reading books, you can choose a supremely comfortable armchair or sofa, of course, but if you plan on using the space to entertain friends, you might want to consider more formal seating arrangements.

The main benefit of a conservatory is the amount of natural daylight you get throughout the day; however, it is important that the light can be controlled and filtered as you please. Fitted blinds are a brilliant way of preventing direct sunlight in your conservatory and can be customised to fit perfectly into any home design. And when you choose wall coverings in this room, it’s often best practice to select neutral colours such as a cool white or warm cream. Remember, though, that the choice is always yours.
