Our friends at Hearst UK, publishers of the leading home interest magazines Country Living, Elle Decoration and House Beautiful, have conducted some fascinating research into the impact of the pandemic on our homes and how we have had to adapt and re-think our living spaces.

Adding a new kitchen or creating space for a larger kitchen extension has been perhaps the most sought-after home improvement project of recent years. But the addition of an orangery kitchen extension has been something of a game-changer when it comes to creating a luxurious space for everyday use and enjoyment.

As the trend for bringing the outside in continues and the boundaries between indoors and out are no longer clear-cut, many homeowners are asking designers and architects to create a conservatory, orangery or garden room in which to relax and unwind, whatever the weather. These tranquil spaces tend to be designed with a careful balance of aesthetics and practicality in mind, as garden rooms are likely to be more exposed to the elements with three outside walls, so adding warmth as well as a durable, hardwearing surface underfoot is key.

We’ve all been looking forward to a Summer spent seeing more of our friends and family, making the most of our homes and gardens from a more social perspective. With restrictions being relaxed and the country starting to open back up, the concept of garden living looks set to continue to grow as a trend.

For years Tom Howley kitchens have been fitted into David Salisbury orangeries and extensions, transforming beautiful homes up and down the country. Their timeless style and David Salisbury's sophisticated approach to design are a natural match, both offering a truly bespoke British made product, designed by experts and built by master craftsmen. Having crossed over so many times, it made sense to create a partnership that would provide our clients with a seamless service, so in 2018 we did exactly that.
