What if you have a small conservatory or a limited space?
It can be difficult to design and decorate a small area when you have many different needs.
With the right design and approach, a small conservatory doesn’t have to be a compromise.
- Leading lines
Linear design can help you extend your kitchen. Design tricks can create the illusion of longer length.
If you want to add a conservatory to your kitchen to give it valuable additional space, be sure to have all the design elements point your eyes towards the end to create an illusion of length.
A chequerboard design on the floor breaks up the linearity of the kitchen drawers and cabinets, while still creating a feeling of movement towards the doors.
- Bring in the light
Add a dramatic dome to your room. A dome can bring in more light throughout the day.
Add a dome on your roof if you’re installing a conservatory between two walls. This will reduce the amount of windows you can have.
The space below is the ideal gallery-style spot for displaying a favourite piece of furniture, or a fresh bouquet of flowers.
When the sun shines on the room, a glass light fitting or chandelier with glass drops will create a rainbow of light.
- Create an elegant entrance
Do not hide your conservatory in the rear of the house. The wow factor of a contemporary conservatory porch is enhanced.
It’s common to place your conservatory on the side or back of your home, but why not add a new entry with a conservatory? For Gloucester Conservatories, visit www.firmfix.co.uk/conservatories-near-me/gloucester
- Relax in a window seat
Built-in window seats offer both storage and sun protection. The windows are the focal point of any conservatory. They provide a view of the outdoors as well as an extra dose of daily light. Add a window seat to your conservatory and you can enjoy the view.
Paint the seat in lighter colours and match the wall finish so that it blends in and gives the impression of more space. Dress it up with upholstered padding, and add complementary cushions to make the perfect reading area.
- Double up
The finished design of a small conservatory will be pleasingly symmetrical if you match architectural elements from your home’s exterior such as the gable ends and window colours, or roof tiles, brick stock, or tile colour.
