David Salisbury Company Blog

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. 

Ask anyone what image comes to mind when they think of the term ‘conservatory’ and many of us will still think of a 1980’s white uPVC style extension. Perhaps one that is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter? Thankfully, with the advances in modern glazing and building specifications, that analogy has long since become outdated.

As we look ahead to the Summer, you may be considering extending your living space to make the most of the light or to become a place where you can admire your garden. A garden room could be the ideal solution, providing a wonderful link between your house and the outside world.

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 garden room? And what can help make the most of your space and give different areas their own feel?

While restrictions on our everyday life continue to slowly ease, there have been a number of constants during the course of this most recent Lockdown. Our orangery showroom has been an inspirational place to visit and The Chelsea Gardener, an “oasis of green in the heart of Chelsea,” has been able to remain safely open.

Perhaps the most significant driver of growth in the home improvement market over the past 12 months has been our collective desire to increase our living space at home. Whilst demand for premium quality, painted timber orangeries has continued to rise over this period, alongside this trend, discerning customers have also been turning to a more rustic look and adding an oak framed extension to their property.
