Extend the season in an conservatory
To extend the outdoor season while waiting for next spring and summer, move out to the balcony, terrace – and for some lucky ones – to the conservatory. In a conservatory, you blur the line between indoors and outdoors, allowing you to greet spring earlier and enjoy the pleasant late summer evenings. The furniture in the conservatory can remain year-round, and you don’t have to rely on whether the sun is shining or hiding, as you can sit back and relax in comfort.

Decorate with outdoor furniture
Can you use your outdoor furniture in an uninsulated conservatory?
Yes, it's fine to use outdoor furniture in a conservatory as long as the space is ventilated.
Can you have rugs on the floor?
It depends on the floor; on pressure-treated floors, it works well as long as the conservatory is ventilated. Ideally, use a rug designed for outdoor environments.
Do regular cushions work, or do they fade?
All fabrics exposed to sunlight are affected. So be careful to either bring in or protect cushions when the sun is at its brightest.
What materials for furniture are suitable for a conservatory?
Outdoor furniture is a great choice as it is designed to withstand more than indoor furniture. Aluminum, natural rattan, and teak are excellent materials for a conservatory. Natural rattan is best kept under a roof and is perfect in a conservatory where the temperature can fluctuate significantly during the day and night. It can get very hot in a conservatory, so be sure to protect the furniture.
Tips for those who want to build a conservatory
When should you use your conservatory?
Before you start planning a potential conservatory, ask yourself when you want to use it: summer, spring/autumn, or year-round. For example, if you want to use your conservatory year-round, you'll need some form of heat source (fireplace/heater) to maintain a comfortable temperature. There are also different types of insulating glass that help retain heat better.
What model of conservatory should I choose?
It's important to ask yourself what you want to use your conservatory for.
If it's primarily for an extra dining space, make sure the conservatory is placed near the kitchen. And if you want a hot tub, consider choosing a freestanding conservatory because it generates moisture. If you have a particular outdoor furniture set you want to use, think carefully and measure to ensure it can be placed optimally.
Plan ahead
The pandemic has led to more people realizing projects in their homes and gardens. The high demand has resulted in longer lead times, so be sure to plan ahead.
What should you consider when placing your conservatory?
There are often a few obvious alternatives, so it's best to adapt the choice of conservatory based on the direction, plot, and the conditions of the house.
How should you furnish?
Think about how you want to furnish the conservatory when considering how large it should be. A rule of thumb is to have about 1 meter of space on all sides to move around easily. If you're planning to install a TV, fireplace, or similar, consider that a solid wall is ideal.
