The Advantages of a Lean-To Conservatory
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Cheryl_Stevensons]Cheryl Stevensons

Sometimes called a sun lounge, the lean-to conservatory is one of the most popular of all conservatories. Cost is a factor because lean-to conservatories are usually less expensive than other bespoke conservatories, however, this is not the only factor. Lean-to conservatories are also highly practical and versatile. They often are the perfect solution to homeowners' property extensions and home improvement needs, regardless of price.

With interest rates rising and the instability of the housing market, many homeowners have decided to renovate rather than replace their existing homes. Looking for cost effective ways to add space and atmosphere to an outdated home that no longer suits their needs, they are finding that lean-to conservatories meet all their criteria perfectly.

Many homes have kitchens and dining areas that look out onto the backyard. While the small dining area may be sufficient for a young couple, as their family and network of friends grows, they find it completely inadequate for their needs. In a booming property market, a move to a larger residence might make sense, but when housing prices slump, as they have in recent times, the best solution is to add on. A lean-to conservatory makes a perfect dining room and absolutely transforms the look of a kitchen/dining area. What was once a dark nook becomes spacious, cheerful and inviting.

Perhaps you have made-do with a makeshift study in a spare bedroom, but wish it had the space to make it a comfortable office/study. lean-to conservatories are perfect in this situation as well. An extension of as little as a couple of meters can almost miraculously make a small room feel twice as large. The addition of some plant life in the conservatory adds additional cheer to what is now your favourite room.

The applications of lean-to conservatories are almost endless. Even a small bathroom can be extended to become a luxurious spa. Just because a conservatory is made predominantly of glass and aluminium doesn't mean it can't be designed to afford the privacy of an enclosed room while still allowing natural light to stream in from all sides!

These are just a few examples of what can be done with lean-to conservatories. Really, "lean-to" is not an appropriate name for these structures. They are as personal and tailor made as any bespoke conservatory, the only difference being that the lean-to is a particular sloped roof style of conservatory that is attached to the home. For some more ideas and a guide to prices, have a look at the apropos website portfolio.
