Great Ways to Use a Conservatory

Did you know that the first conservatories were designed for the purpose of growing plants that would otherwise not thrive in the British climate? From small potted plants and herbs to a full-on indoor garden, conservatories are great for plant growth. The glazed windows of conservatories are great for focusing the sun’s rays to help plants grow – even citrus varieties of plants such as oranges, lemons or limes can grow in a conservatory.

If you want to make the most of meal times with your family, then why not create a conservatory dining room? What could be better than sitting down with your family, in a light and airy room with a view of your garden. A conservatory dining room could also be an ideal place to hold dinner parties all year-round.

Most people enjoy relaxing in the sun, talking with friends, or reading a book and enjoying some peace and quiet. However, British summers can be pretty short-lived and even on sunny days, it can sometimes be a little too cold outside to sit comfortably. Here’s where a conservatory comes in – create a sun room where you can enjoy the sun even on the days where the sun is out, but it’s too cold or windy to enjoy relaxing outside.

If you feel like you’re paying expensive gym memberships on a monthly basis and struggling to find the time or motivation to actually go on a regular basis, a home gym could be the answer. By furnishing a conservatory with some simple gym apparatus, you could be enjoying the same exercise benefits without having to leave your home. As a conservatory is a bright space, the rays of the sun could also be a great motivational tool to get you working up a sweat without feeling self-conscious.

If you work from home, or often find that there is work to do when you get home from work, it’s a good idea to set up an office away from the distractions of your home. By creating a dedicated office room, this could do wonders for productivity. Sunlight provides the vitamin D we need for energy and motivation, and boosts levels of Serototin in the body, which helps to improve our mood.

Conservatories can make great spaces for kids to enjoy themselves and can be fantastic places to store children’s toys and art materials.
