Choosing the Right Extras For Your Conservatory
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steven_P_Holmes]Steven P Holmes
Conservatories add extra square footage to your home and can create a peaceful sanctuary away from the rest of the house. However, this additional space can sometimes become over run with belongings or items from other rooms in the home and can be a nightmare to keep tidy if you have a busy household. If you envisioned your sun room as looking like a pristine Edwardian conservatory like the ones in the brochures then it's time to reclaim your space and transform your conservatory into your dream room. A few extras can make conservatories look spectacular and they can be very affordable.
Blinds
Conservatory blinds are more than just an aesthetic feature. Conservatories retain heat and in summer months this heat can be over powering. By installing blinds you can reduce this heat and reduce the effect of fading from the sun on your soft furnishings, books and rugs. Some blinds come with solar protective coatings so they can reduce heat and glare further and allow you to use your conservatory whatever the temperature. Blinds come in a whole range of colours and are a quick way to add a stylish theme to your new room. Bright white blinds look stunning against the night sky and intense colours such as reds and blues can create a dramatic look without the trouble of redecorating.
Storage
Children's toys, gardening equipment, books and magazines are just a few items which can soon pile up. Conservatories don't have to look like storerooms though and with the right storage solutions, you can reclaim your conservatory. Window seats which double up as storage boxes are a great solution for adding extra seating and storage. Cover them in plush cushions or funky throws and no one will ever know about their alternative use. Classic style storage boxes such as black leather or even creative designs in floral or geometric patterns can come in all sizes and look great. These are a good solution for tidying away smaller objects which accumulate such as games and toys. If you use your conservatory as a dining room then investing in a table which folds away can increase the floor space taken up when the table isn't in use.
Style tips
Updating the style of conservatories or going for a completely different look needn't be expensive. Small touches can create a stunning overall effect. Gardens are a natural extension of conservatories so by placing attractive or unusual plants such as miniature orange trees or chilli plants by the door, you can make them look larger as they extend out into the garden. Choosing one colour or theme is a good way to create a uniform look. Floral themes or natural greens and browns are an obvious choice as they extend on the garden theme but vibrant patterns could be over powering in smaller sun rooms. Choose your accessories wisely and add a few cushions, pictures or throws to create a subtle effect.
Conservatories should be places for entertaining, dining and relaxation and with these top tips you can make sure yours remains a stunning space in your home.
