Biophilic design is a concept that has long since been adopted in the built environment but has only recently become encapsulated by this specific term. Put simply, it describes connecting buildings to the natural environment via the use of natural materials, increased use of interior plants and nature-inspired design with views to the outside. 

Perhaps one of the most appropriate expressions we have read in recent times, around the subject of home improvement, is the term “race for space,” identified in The Rated People Home Improvement Trends Report 2021.

By now, we have certainly got used to the sanctity of our homes, even if pressure on living space has continued to be a factor during the latest of these national Lockdowns. Whilst we are clearly on the right trajectory with regard to the pandemic, the importance of our homes and living rooms will continue to be a priority going forward.

With that thought in mind, here’s our round up of 5 of the best orangery living room designs, to show you how to make the very most of your living space, were you to be considering extending your home.

David Salisbury is proud to be partnering with the award-winning Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate, the luxury resort near St Ives in Cornwall which has been chosen to host this year’s G7 Summit, as part of the latest phase of their refurbishment and investment programme.

Our extensive experience in successfully designing and installing premium quality orangeries for exclusive hotels, wedding venues and restaurants, made the choice a natural one.

An orangery or garden room could be the ideal solution, offering a light-filled space that can be used as a school and an office during the day and a space to relax in the evenings and on weekends.

Whilst getting the design and layout of these extensions requires some expert advice, how do you go about adding the finishing touches to your new orangery?
