With such a wide range of conservatory designs available and many specialists offering bespoke conservatories, choosing a conservatory should be easier than ever, but so much choice can cause greater confusion.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed about which conservatory to choose – from classic uPVC conservatories to cosy orangeries and space-enhancing gable front conservatories – here’s how to pick the right design for your home.

What size conservatory do you need?

Conservatories come in all shapes and sizes, so you should check how much space you have. Once you know what size conservatory you need, you’ll be in a better position to choose a design that complements your home.

What will you use your conservatory for?

A conservatory can serve many functions. Do you want to extend your living environment, create an airy working space or add that wow factor to dinner parties? Many suppliers can now offer bespoke conservatories that are individually tailored to your needs.

Which conservatory style suits your home?

There are three main types of conservatory – classic conservatories, ...
... orangeries and modern glass extensions

Classic Conservatories

Classic conservatories come in any shape or size, usually in uPVC, but are also available hardwood or aluminium in a variety of finishes. A Classic conservatory can be designed to your individual requirements and to suit your house and your lifestyle.

Orangeries

Originating in the renaissance gardens of Italy, Orangeries were a mixture of a green house and an elegant living room. Today modern Orangeries combine period features with modern technology to create a stylish extension with a glass lantern roof, wide pilasters and decorative fascia.

Modern Glass Extensions

Glass Extensions are the ultimate in glass design for the modern home adding more living space and more natural light. The addition of fully opening aluminium bi fold doors and a verandah roof creates a modern glass extension that opens up your home, with a seamless link between the garden and the interior living space.

Remember the practicalities of a conservatory

Conservatories are the glassiest structure in a house, so when choosing your conservatory design, don’t forget to think about how you can keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Insulated walls and floors, special solar glass and the correct ventilation will help do this.

Still confused about which conservatory to choose?

While it may be easier than ever to hunt down different conservatory designs, there’s no substitute for consulting an expert. If in doubt, you should ask a professional conservatory supplier who will be able to advise you on the right conservatory design for your home.
