Spruce up your conservatory for Spring

BECAUSE YOU'VE PROBABLY NEGLECTED THESE SPACES OVER WINTER

Spring is the perfect time to sit and enjoy your capture of the sun. Conservatories and sunrooms are the perfect spot during Spring and Summer to enjoy the lighter, brighter and warmer weather. They can be spaces we tend to forget during the colder months, so it’s pretty believable if you’ve neglected the space for the last 6 months or so.

But there are plenty of things you can do urgently to liven up the space and create the perfect environment to kick back and enjoy this Spring and Summer.

Liven up the windows

Whilst conservatories are all about the light, sometimes you do need a little shade and privacy (vital when wanting to keep your space cool during the hotter days ). Update your blinds or curtains to a bold print or vibrant colour to add interest into your conservatory, whilst offering privacy and shade too. We highly recommend roller blinds – a cheap way to cover your windows and easy to pull open and shut whatever time of the day.

Fresh Lick of Paint

Whether you have a brick finish or plastered walls, a fresh colour can lift any space, including your conservatory. Painting your brick to a soft pastel or plain white can instantly refresh your space into a more neutral and modern canvas for Spring and Summer.

Tip : Keep the paint work light and bring darker shades through the furniture and soft furnishings.

Choose new furniture wisely

A huge mistake is using the incorrect furniture in your conservatory. Overloading the space with pieces that are usually meant for larger rooms or those with a different purpose can make your conservatory feel cluttered and confused. Choose pieces carefully, and use materials that cope well in the warm environment.

Incorporate Soft Furnishings

In any room, a quick refresh and update easily be achieved with a swap of your soft furnishings. Purchase some summer friendly cushion covers, throws and a small rug to easily re-vitalise your conservatory space.

Add voile to your roof

Sometimes the roof is the worst part of a conservatory, especially if you’re not lucky enough to have a glass one. It can get grubby and unattractive so anything to cover it up would be a great addition. Rooftop blinds are expensive, so finding a cheaper alternative is high priority. Adding fabric, like voile, can help disguise the roof and bring some softness to the space. Choose a light colour and be sure to wash regularly.
