BRING THE OUTDOORS IN WITH A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY THAT WILL MAKE THE MOST OF SUMMER SUNLIGHT AND CALMING GARDEN VIEWS

- THEA BABINGTON-STITT

Hothouse FLOWERS

NATURAL INSPIRATION

Clever colour choices can transform a conservatory into a truly restful retreat. Take inspiration from your surroundings by using a palette that is grounded in nature, like this pale sage shade used on the window frames and roof lantern. Not only will the room feel serene, it will allow the indoor-outdoor lines to blur. ‘This space boasts double doors that ease out into the garden for a harmonious indoor/outdoor lifestyle,’ says James Upton, managing director and designer of Westbury Garden Rooms.

Westbury Garden Rooms start from £45,000

This is a bespoke, handmade three-quarter lean-to glasshouse from Hartley Botanic, price on application

Similar orangeries from Prime Oak start at £45,000
