Today’s conservatories are more than a square extension on
the back of our homes. Home owners want their conservatories to seamlessly join
their properties and to blend in with the homes interior design style.
The way you use your conservatory will dictate how you
decorate the space, the style of the actual conservatory will also play a part
on how the room will best be decorated.
Inspirational Decorating Ideas
If you are
considering redecorating your conservatory or planning to add a new
conservatory, then you may want some inspirational decorating ideas. In this
article we are going to look at 3 different styles; modern, traditional and
country all of which work well when it comes to decorating your conservatory.
Modern
Which Style works best?
The lean to conservatory has the most modern and contemporary feel, its simple
roof and clean straight lines is the perfect choice for anyone wanting the most
up to date design.
Decorating Tips:
Keep it simple and uncluttered enjoy the simplicity of the design and the light
airy feel the lean to roof provides. A splash of dramatic colour does work well
if used carefully for example; a colourful centre piece, brightly coloured
blinds or a collection of contrasting scatter cushions in a variety of colours.
Traditional
Which Style works best?
Two styles that work really well when wanting a traditional design would
include; the Gable End and the Victorian conservatory. The gable end
conservatory adds a sense of grandeur to any home providing a light airy feel,
giving it a distinctive appearance typical of this period spanning from
1760-1820. The Victorian conservatory with its steeply pitched roof and ornate
ridge details gives this style of conservatory a classical appearance.
Decorating Tips:
Add flooring such as wooden planks, flagstones and cover with rugs this gives
you a good foundation to work on. From there build upwards using furnishings
that compliment a traditional style these could include chesterfield leather
sofas, wooden book cases, candelabra’s, and a great feature would be to add a
wood burning stove to cosy up to during the long winter nights.
Country
Which Style works best?
Any of the conservatory designs would work well when wanting a country styled
conservatory room, it’s how the decoration is done and what accessories are
added that will define this style.
Decorating Tips:
Use soft florals in the soft furnishings and accessories, combined this with
patterned, striped and gingham accessories. Wicker baskets mixed into the design
will create a countryside feel as will freshly cut flowers. The use of painted
wrought iron furniture or distressed painted furniture will help pull the
design together. The country style works really well in a conservatory as it complements
the garden and brings the room and garden together.
