There are a variety of reasons for choosing to add a conservatory or an orangery to your home. You might simply be looking for more functional living space, you may be seeking to add value to a property or you might just want to improve the aesthetics of the place in which you live.
It might be the case that you love your garden and wish you
could be closer to it all year round and adding a conservatory is an
opportunity to bring a more open feel to an area of the property as well as
taking a step closer to the garden without leaving the house!
Of course, conservatories and orangeries in general have
taken huge strides in recent years, with underfloor heating providing more
consistent warmth in the colder months and specialist glass and blinds helping
to moderate temperatures in the hot summer months.
It’s not simply a case of more space but it’s also very much
about style and you can tailor your new living area to be exactly what you want
it to be. It’s also an opportunity to explore open plan living in a property
that perhaps has always been a little more enclosed.
Working hand in hand with Foxfurd, you can realise your
dreams, crafting and creating the perfect extension to your living space.
Here are just a few ideas to consider if you long to be able
to enjoy your garden from the relaxing comfort of your favourite armchair.
Opening the Door
The doors are a critical piece of the jigsaw if you want a
conservatory that feels closer to the garden. They have the potential to either
open a room right up or make it feel smaller and claustrophobic. Bi-folding
doors are one option to consider, where the whole of one side of your
conservatory or orangery (the side or front that faces the garden) is made up
of these particular doors. Enabling you to fold back the doors on a beautiful
summer day, can effectively merge indoors and outdoors together, breathing in
the scent of the garden flowers and balmy air. In addition, the whole space
will just feel much larger and of course much lighter, delivering a really
contemporary atmosphere.
What’s on the Floor?
Continuing the theme of having your living space reach out
into your garden and grounds beyond, flooring can also play an important role.
Perhaps you already have some existing decking outside and this can be utilised
to great effect if you choose a flooring style of similar materials and colour.
If the grain of your decking goes one way, choose a flooring solution that
imitates the pattern and this will help to create the illusion of one
continuous open space, flowing from the inside out.
Wall to Wall
Any wall space you have remaining, once the glass and
windows have been fitted can also be tailored to your particular
specifications. Shades of green can help contribute to the “outdoors” vibe as
well as being relaxing and easy on the eye as you spend quality time in your
new room.
Finishing Touches
with Soft Furnishings
Natural themes such as trees and flowers are currently very
popular and therefore will work very well with your desire to embrace your
outside surroundings. With rugs, cushions, curtains, blinds, lampshades, lamps
and throws you can remain on topic and stylish at the same time. Indoor plants
(either real or high quality fake) can also help with the theme, choosing pots
that you like and that blend in easily. Rattan furniture can often be used both
indoors and outdoors and could work really well in a setting like this with
some of it being made specifically for conservatories, with sofas, chairs and
tables populating the area.
Of course, all of the above are simply ideas for one
particular theme. With Foxfurd, you can design and then have built a
conservatory or orangery in exactly the style you want – something that blends
in seamlessly with your existing property. Please visit our main website for more ideas and inspiration.
