Using an Interior Designer for your Urban Conservatory
It is not necessary to live out in the countryside or in a suburban home to enjoy the benefits of a conservatory. With the assistance of a professional interior designer, it is possible to create a green refuge in the very centre of urban surroundings. In the midst of greenery and enjoying the scent of flowers, it would be possible to relax in an environment that could easily be far away from the hustle and bustle of city living. An interior designer could create a sanctuary where it would be possible to catch rays of sunshine, grow plants, and host friends and family when they are visiting. The perfect combination of furnishings, greenery, and window treatment can provide the indoor refuge you are looking for.
Interest in conservatories as part of residential architecture has fluctuated in recent times, but with a growing sense of the need for green living, the practice of integrating elements that could once only be found outdoors into the living area is increasing once again. These days, an interior designer would most probably be able to show you a vast portfolio of previously completed conservatories, from minimalist garden rooms to plush country style installations brimming with furnishings. Whether you prefer wicker furniture for your conservatory, or pieces that remind us of the Victorian era, or a modern formal dining set, your interior designer can help you make your vision a reality.
In many London homes, outdoor space is very limited, and adding a conservatory to your property provides both the benefits of a garden area combined with very useable indoor space in the form of a home extension. There are few rooms that are as versatile as a conservatory; with the option to serve as a garden room, a children’s play room, a dining area, or simple a room to relax on comfortable sofas. Depending on the intended main use for the space, your interior designer could recommend wooden floors or tiles, with rugs to match the decor. In terms of conservatory window treatments, there are many types of blinds available that can be installed, as well as drapes. Motorised options are also available for more substantial installations. Cabinetry, cupboards, and shelving can be installed to match the overall design of the conservatory, and you can ensure the space can be warm and cozy all year round with the installation of underfloor heating.
An interior designer can also advise on how the conservatory’s fantastic window space giving natural light, combined with heating all the year round, can be the perfect environment to cultivate all sorts of potted domestic or exotic plants. From rare orchids to the Himalayan blue poppy plant, a conservatory could open up a whole new realm of exciting indoor gardening endevours that might never have been possible in other rooms of the house. Work with a London interior designer to ensure the best possible result for your conservatory, to create a little sanctuary in the midst of hectic urban life.
