In this article we share our 5 best uses for a conservatory. It is thought that around 60% of conservatory owners do not use their conservatory as much as they would like to. This means that space within their home is wasted.
Conservatories are a great addition to any home. Some people are not quite sure how to use the additional space. If you’re lucky enough to already have a conservatory, or are thinking about having one built, here are our 5 best uses for a conservatory.
Extra living space
If you are looking to create more space or a second living room, a conservatory can be an ideal solution for this. It’s an alternative to your main living room, somewhere to escape the rest of the family. Make this an additional living room with comfortable sofas and chairs and soft furnishings. Use it as a space to escape the TV and relax at the end of the day with a good book.
Playroom
Need some more space for your growing family? A separate playroom is the perfect way to keep your little ones happy with an area that’s all theirs. It also makes sure their beloved toys don’t take over your dining or living room.
The best bit is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the extra space you need; a conservatory is quicker to build than an extension and makes a great cost-effective, all-season playroom.
Dining room
If you’re considering having a new conservatory installed, planning for a dining space is easy. The main aspects to think about are, how many people are you wanting to cater for? Will you use the space all year round? How close to the kitchen would you like it?
Thinking about converting an existing conservatory into a dining area? It is as simple as a furniture swap. Replace your settee and coffee table with a large dining room table and chair and voilà, you’re all set! The beauty of a dining room is that, except for the odd lamp, there isn’t any real need for any electrics as the glass lets the natural light in.
Plant room
Have you considered giving your conservatory a whole new lease of life and turn it into a custom garden room? Tending plants and vegetables is a very mindful activity. The rewards when your plants bloom and your vegetables ripen are inspiring. The added beauty of doing gardening indoors is that you don’t have to worry about undertaking your important gardening tasks in the rain or freezing cold. A conservatory provides protection all year for the plants you nurture.
If you’re aiming to turn your conservatory into a garden room and you’ve got a carpet down it’s time to rip it up. You need to think about adding a tiled floor and making sure your newly reappointed room has proper drainage. Your plants are going to need suitable ventilation as well, so creating openings within your conservatory is a must.
Home cinema
A home cinema is the perfect space to relax and is easy to create in your conservatory space. Your conservatory is the perfect place to create a secluded home cinema where you can relax and enjoy your favourite films on the big screen. You can also install other awesome features such as a mini-fridge or bar area to store cold drinks. You can even go as far as to install a popcorn maker in your new home cinema!
One of the great things about your conservatory is you can create a variety of spaces and many multifunctional spaces. Combine some of the ideas on our list to fully use your conservatory space or contact us for some inspiration!
