The advent of modern glazing technologies has long since rendered the concept of older conservatory style extensions as “being too hot in the Summer and too cold in the Winter” as redundant. Modern orangeries and garden rooms are designed for year round enjoyment and so much more than just Summer or seasonal rooms.

David Salisbury’s orangery designs become an integral part of our customers’ homes and the room they spend the most time in. In this article, we’ll take a look at 10 designs that really capture the essence of year round enjoyment.

With the passing of the Autumn Equinox earlier this week, the point when the sun will be exactly above the Earth's equator as it moves from north to south (if you didn’t already know!), the change of season is upon us. So we thought it would be an opportune time to cover some of our tips and recommendations for how to prepare our homes and gardens for the changing time of year.

For much of this year, we have been fortunate enough to enjoy pleasant enough weather to appreciate being outside, making use of our gardens and green spaces. While this week has felt like something of an Indian Summer, it will not be long before we are spending much more time back indoors – so here are some tips for how you can continue to feel closer to the outside from the comfort of the inside of your home.

One of the many consequences of the events of this year has been a renewed focus on our homes. As we have all spent more time at home, it has made us increasingly appreciate our house and garden space and how we use it. One of the resulting trends of this Summer has been a desire to invest in updating our properties.

Whilst this year’s photoshoot season has undoubtedly been affected by the obvious impact of the Coronavirus, one of the advantages of trying to capture the design and influence of an orangery is that it can achieved, in the main, from outside. That said, we always try to mix up photography of both the exterior and interior, where possible, of an orangery to give our prospective customers a real feel for what they can expect from a David Salisbury extension. Where photography will usually achieve this, video has so much more impact.
