Conservatories are becoming increasingly popular throughout the UK, with many people choosing, instead of moving home, to stay put and spice up their own house with these beautiful additions. Conservatories have so many practical and aesthetic applications, can increase the value of your home and extend your living space, for a better quality of home life. But with literally hundreds of different design types, sizes and period-aesthetics, how do you go about choosing the right one for your home? Here’s a handy guide from us here at Crown Windows, where all your conservatory needs are catered for, never compromising on quality and always delivering unrivalled levels of customer service.
Perfection in the Planning (permission)
The first thing to do is assess how much space you have, and what kind of addition you’d be looking at when it comes to size. Conservatories can be utterly huge, but also quaint and small, so take some measurements and take into consideration applying for planning permission from local authorities (the process for this can differ depending on the size!)
Relax or Revise, Dine or Discuss
Next, think about what exactly you want your conservatory to be. A second living room, dining room, chill-out area or office are all common uses, and the size and style can change depending on its intended use. Will it be full of plants and plush seating, or used so you no longer have to eat in the living room?
Shapes and Styles
There are many different shapes of conservatory and deciphering which one you’d like goes hand in hand with choosing the style. Importantly, if you need something different to the examples here, Crown Windows are more than happy to help draw up a conservatory that suits your home, garden furniture and design to your exact requirements.
Victorian – A popular, often rectangular design that generally comes in either three or five panel variations. Its elegant aesthetic sits perfectly with almost any home.
Edwardian – Its bold front facing edging gives the Edwardian a more extravagant appeal, and is always voluptuous in size, and can work well, with slight variations, for bungalows.
Lean-to – Another popular design often used when a smaller space is required, functional and a perfect match for modern homes.
With these handy tips, you can come to an educated conclusion on which conservatory you need, and as soon as you have done, pick up the phone and speak to us here at Crown Windows for a comprehensive, service centric conservatory solution!
