Conservatories
By admin | July 25, 2008
The purpose of buildings that use glass is to make full use of the sun and the daylight.
The conservatory is a useful, weatherproof link between inside and outside, but it can also create a magic of its own. In this extension of the home you can enjoy the jungle atmosphere of tender plants with their bright colours and exotic scents.
You can use it as a light and airy dining room or a quiet space in which to read or snooze. Cane or perforated metal chairs and tables will emphasise the tropical aspect and plenty of tropical plants and climbers in containers will add to the holiday feeling.
Most conservatories are attached to the house and great care should be taken to choose one whose style, proportions and materials are in keeping with the materials and the architecture of the house. This does not necessarily mean that all buildings should be of the same period. In fact a simple modern construction added to a traditional house can look very much in keeping. Getting the scale and proportion right in relation to the house are by far the most important things especially as conservatories and conservatory furniture is not cheap.
