Our wonderfully unpredictable and turbulent British
summers mean an idyllic evening spent basking in the
sunshine often turns into a mad dash for cover as the
heavens open.
summers mean an idyllic evening spent basking in the
sunshine often turns into a mad dash for cover as the

And so to the practical and perfect concept of a
conservatory - a space which gives you an extra room,
a sense of the outdoors when it is too chilly for the
real al fresco, and a bijou winter home for your
begonias. What more could you want?
The future is looking bright for those of you lucky
enough to own glass houses as we've devised four
picture perfect themes to make entertaining, dining
and relaxing an altogether dryer and warmer
experience, all, year, long.
When choosing flooring you must
also carefully consider the usage of
the room.
also carefully consider the usage of
the room.
If you are intending to use it as a bridge
between the garden and indoors, it's
advisable to go for hard wearing floors that
are easy to clean. As the room is likely to
experience a lot of foot traffic from the
garden, a tiled effect flooring that can
withstand the dirt is going to be a lot easier
to maintain than a carpeted one.
Alternatively, if you intend to use the room
as a more exclusive dining room or office,
then a luxurious carpet or wood effect
laminate or vinyl can look fantastic.

Oriental Style Solarium
Think rustic looking wooden or laminate floorboards covered with thick shagpile rugs.
Decorate bold furniture with luxurious cashmere throws and add decorated scatter
cushions that have splashes of rich oriental colours.

Transform your conservatory space into a soothing
haven, perfect for relaxed evenings and the ideal space
to curl up with your favourite book. Create impact by
picking up beautiful, unique pieces of furniture from
flea markets or auction houses and then spend a little
time on the details – tiny wind charms, magnificent
tall vases and intricate cut out lanterns all cry out for
a romantic space perfect for a quiet, tea light lit
evening with wine.

Bright Breakfast Room
Forget open plan living and crunching
through your cornflakes at the
breakfast bar, light mornings lend
themselves to padding down to
breakfast and taking a seat overlooking
your garden or patio.
If you're looking for a Mediterranean
feel, opt for granite effect flooring or
try leaving an exposed brick wall -
decorate your sunroom in warm, bright
shades of sunburnt orange and yellow.
Alternatively, keep things clean and
fresh with crisp white walls, soft
dreamy drapes and accent colours on
cushions or wall hangings.

Warm Evening Snug
As the days get cooler, you'll be craving a warm, snug room. Don't forget your
conservatory in the winter months; instead turn it into a warm corner of your home
perfect for relaxing after a hard day. Hang heavy luxurious curtains to retain heat or
lay a thick, lavish carpet. Invest in laid back beanbags for all the family and light
candles or big floor lamps to create a comforting sanctuary throughout the winter
months.

Conservatory furniture – what to consider…
Due to its nature, a conservatory will experience a great degree of temperature
change, exposure to natural light and condensation levels. Your furniture must be
able to cope with this all year round. The best types of furniture for dealing with
such conditions are rattan, cane and metal. Whilst Rattan and cane wicker furniture
is a lot lighter, can be easily moved and helps to give the room a more outdoors
feel, metal furniture can be softened by cushions and throws and can offer a more
modern feel.
