5 Designs to Consider When Building Your Conservatory
There are a number of designs that you can consider when choosing your conservatory. But it can be confusing to differentiate between them. Here we give you a brief guide to the most common conservatory designs that you are likely to be faced with.
1. Victorian – The Victorian style conservatory is the most popular style of conservatory and is probable one of the most versatile. Its main feature is a bay style curved front that is normally designed with 3 facets, its pitched roof and ornate ridge details.
2. Edwardian – The Edwardian style of Conservatory carries the same elegant pitched roof design, ridge cresting and finials of the Victorian Conservatory. However they are rectangular or square in shape and this gives the optimum interior floor space allowing more room for your furniture. It is also possible to ‘clip’ one or both of the corners to achieve a Victorian-esque look while maintaining the effective use of the floor area which is one of the advantages over the Victorian conservatory style.
3. Pavilion – The Pavilion conservatory design is a variant on the popular Edwardian conservatory and with its elegant shape it will transform even the smallest of gardens. Pavilion conservatories create a stunning visual impact both internally and externally and with the high pitch of the roof they offer a real sense of height and space.
4. Lean To – The Lean-To conservatory is probably the simplest in design and originally the most popular conservatory option. With its clean lines and timeless appearance the Lean-To conservatory style is still a very popular choice today. Heights can be adjusted to suit both two story houses and bungalows. There is also the option to put hipped ends and also a bay feature to create a more elegant look.
5. Bespoke – Of course, bespoke conservatory designs are ideal for tricky sites or just simply for people wanting something different. Built to your own specifications bespoke conservatories offer the ultimate in flexibility and choice. Whether you desire something simple or intricate your conservatory designers should be able to guide you through the whole process advising you at every stage on how to make the most out of your new space.
