NATURAL INSPIRATION

Clever colour choices can transform a conservatory into a truly restful retreat. Take inspiration from your surroundings by using a palette that is grounded in nature, like this pale sage shade used on the window frames and roof lantern. Not only will the room feel serene, it will allow the indoor-outdoor lines to blur. ‘This space boasts double doors that ease out into the garden for a harmonious indoor/outdoor lifestyle,’ says James Upton, managing director and designer of Westbury Garden Rooms.

Westbury Garden Rooms start from £45,000

This is a bespoke, handmade three-quarter lean-to glasshouse from Hartley Botanic, price on application

Similar orangeries from Prime Oak start at £45,000

WOODEN WONDER

Oak conservatories are a wonderful choice, especially for country homes. ‘Oak has been used for construction for centuries due to its remarkable beauty, strength and durability,’ says Jonathan Stackhouse, planning manager at Prime Oak. ‘It matures gracefully and offers a sustainable eco-friendly solution, designed to be enjoyed for lifetimes to come. To help keep the building looking new, we recommend an oil-based waterproof coating, usually to be reapplied once or twice a year, as required.’
