Living Under Glass

Careful consideration of the actual use of the conservatory will help to determine the best design and layout, as well as internal style, fixtures and fittings that will make the room both practical and enjoyable to use. Will you use it more in the morning or evening? As a quiet private retreat, or as an entertaining space?

You will probably be restricted in the location of the conservatory in relation to the house, but if it is to be a space for eating and entertaining, close proximity to the kitchen would be desirable. If that isn’t possible, then you may wish to include storage, counter space and a sink with waste and water supplies to prevent endless trips to and from the kitchen. Time spent now thinking through the possibilities and layouts will be well worth it when you come to enjoy living in your conservatory.
