Orangeries are an amazing way to give your home some additional space and add an extra, functional room into your home without having to fully extend your property.
An orangery may be a more suitable option than a conservatory as they are built from brickwork which allows them to be more integrated into your home and means they are better insulated, meaning they are more functional all year round.
This makes them perfect to use as an additional living space. As they are well-built and properly insulated they can be heated or cooled to a comfortable temperature all year long making them suitable for both the summer sun and the cooler winter temperatures.
There are so many more options when you have a room that is fully functional, meaning the opportunities for use are endless. You could create a cosy dining area, additional living space or even a home office that will be comfortable no matter the temperature outside.
Orangeries are also a lovely way to incorporate more light into the home. They are entirely customisable spaces meaning you can opt to install many windows allowing more natural light to filter into the home.
This can also allow you a lovely view into your garden so you can spend time enjoying your garden and nature from the comfort and warmth of your home.
If you choose to build an orangery as an extension to a pre-existing room, this means all this additional light will be appreciated throughout the house rather than just in the orangery. This can give the impression of a more open, lighter and airier space.
It’s also a great way to make the garden more accessible. With the customisability comes the ability to add doors which can open up into the garden allowing you a space that serves as both an indoor and outdoor relaxation area.
This is great for the summertime as you are able to enjoy the fresh air and warmth while still staying in the shade. This may also be a popular choice for families as it allows parents to sit and relax while watching their children enjoy the outdoors.
Even though an orangery isn’t a full extension, it can still add value to the home. They are fully functional additional rooms which means they increase the usable space in your home which will increase the value of your property.
This makes them highly popular for those wanting to add value but who don’t wish to undertake the time & expenses of extending their home fully. An orangery can be built specifically for your home to any measurements you want meaning the job can be as big or small as you desire.
Whatever you choose to use your orangery for, it is sure to be a fantastic addition to your home and provide some much-needed additional space for you, your family and your guests to enjoy all year long.
