5 Best Conservatory Furniture Styles

More and more people are choosing to add a conservatory to their current home as a way of creating an additional room as well as an area to appreciate the outside space no matter what the Great British weather throws our way. Choosing how to style your conservatory space can be tricky so we have narrowed down 5 of our favourite conservatory furniture styles that will create a stylish and functional space in which to sit back and relax.

Minimal

Contemporary or minimal conservatories are a relatively new idea as they have always been associated with more traditional styles of home. However with more and more new builds accommodating sleek conservatories to their design they are becoming one of the most stylish rooms in a modern home. For a sleek and minimal conservatory look then select items that will compliment the wall to ceiling glass whilst creating a focal point within the space. Choose simple straight edged sofas and chairs with a black or sleek white finish and partner with crisp white cushions for added texture and uniformity. Include a table crafted from sleek chrome and glass that will create a striking yet almost invisible focal point within the centre of the room.

Orangery

Made popular in the 17th century an orangery was a classic feature in the grounds or at the rear of stately homes and created a peaceful retreat in which to relax and take a spot of afternoon tea. This look can be recreated in a conservatory area by creating a space that embraces the elegance and beauty of the natural surroundings. Select classic wicker furniture in golden tones with seat pads in a plain cream linen or pastel floral design. Add traditional bolster style cushions that will create comfort and elegance to your seating area and place golden oak coffee table in the centre of the room with a simple lace table cloth for enjoying your traditional tea and cake. Adorn the room with large houseplants, herbs and fruit and vegetable trees in plain terracotta or period design, glazed urns for a truly botanical look.

Chateau

Chateau style conservatories embody the light yet cosy ambiance of French country style. Using a balance of natural colour tones and materials with a hint of luxury opulence they create a perfect space to relax or entertain. Select furniture items that are elegantly carved with a shabby chic style finish that gives an authentic ‘aged ‘appearance. Choose rich cream painted items such as curvaceous occasional chairs, a chaise lounge or a spacious dining set with linen upholstery in neutral or pale pastel tones. For an extra splash of luxury hang a central French painted chandelier from the centre of the ceiling so it creates a focal point above a coffee or dining table area and add fresh bouquets of flowers on the tables for a classically elegant finish.

Eastern

If you love colour and wish to create a relaxed, exotic getaway then a stylish Moroccan style conservatory is perfect for you. Create a bench style seating area around the edge of your conservatory area and upholster in rich and vibrant coloured fabrics with metallic gold and silver accents. Alternatively select large floor cushions or bean bags in purple, pink, blue and yellow eastern patterns with sequin, bead and tassel embellishments. Add a large low level coffee table in a hexagonal shaped design and a mosaic table top for an authentic Moroccan look. Place swathes of translucent coloured fabrics on the windows and ceiling with complimentary coloured lanterns for a Bedouin style interior that is exciting yet relaxed.

Boutique

If you adore a splash of glamour then create a conservatory space that would not look out of place in the finest boutique hotel. Opt for a monochrome colour scheme with hints of rich period colour such as red, purple and royal blue and create as much drama as possible using statement furniture items. Select ornately carved seating with deep black or silver and gold leaf frame work and upholster in rich velvet fabrics in red or black or pewter. Add a central oval or circular black painted coffee table that has traditional ornate carvings to create a focal point in the centre of the room. For the ultimate in glamour and flamboyance hang a crystal chandelier from the centre of the room that will compliment the glass windows and ceiling and add illumination to the deep colours of the furniture.
