With the cost of moving home so expensive, more and more people instead prefer to stay put and improve their property.
So if you’re in this bracket, a conservatory is definitely a great place to start.
Conservatories provide a stunning extension to your home, instantly giving you more space.
And one of their excellent benefits is versatility.
There are plenty of wonderful uses for a conservatory and no matter what you’re after you can add over £9,000 to the value of your home.
Let’s take a look at why conservatories are so popular and the ways you can put yours to good use:
A second living room
Isn’t it nice to have your own space to relax from time to time? Of course, spending time with the family is great, but sometimes the hassle and stress of everyday life can take its toll. This is when a second living room is put to great use. Put some comfy sofas and a TV in the conservatory and create a fantastic atmosphere to relax in peacefully.
A home office
In the modern day it seems more and more people are looking to work from home, if only for a couple of days each week. But having a purposely built office can be difficult if there isn’t much room in the home and you don’t want the disturbance of a TV. The conservatory can be great for this, providing an atmosphere to help you stay focused that’s both light and airy.
A playroom
Do you want the kids out of your hair for a few hours? Then the conservatory provides a great area to act as a playroom. An added benefit is that playtime can spill into the garden without mud and mess being traipsed through the rest of your home. We’d recommended using safety glass in your conservatory if you choose this idea though to prevent any accidents.
A garden room
Conservatories are typically installed at the back of your home, where they can link up with the garden. So this means you have a brilliant extension to the outside, which is perfect for when the weather warms up. With stunning French doors you can seamlessly blend the inside and outside of your home. And of course, a garden room wouldn’t be complete without some wicker furniture and colourful house plants.
A gym
Save some money on a gym membership by bringing the weights home and use this space to help you keep in great shape. Conservatories can easily fit a number of gym equipment so you can tone up in the comforts of your own home.
