During the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s up until the early 2000s we saw a huge increase in the amount of people installing conservatories to the homes. This was mainly due to improvements in technology. uPVC and double glazing has meant that not only can conservatories be manufactured much more quickly and cheaply they are also much more energy efficient making them not only cheaper to install but also cheaper to run. A conservatory is now a space that can be used throughout the year.

However as with all things fashions change and technology moves on. We are now starting to see a huge increase in the popularity of orangeries. Orangeries are very similar to conservatories in a lot of ways. They are light and airy spaces which are like no other room in your house making them a truly unique space. They include large windows and glass roofs like a conservatory allowing the light to flood in.

They do however differ from conservatories in many ways. They tend to built using brick or stone pillars to support the roof this helps to give them a more substantial feel. Large windows are then fitted between these pillars allowing natural light to fill the orangery and giving fantastic views of the garden. Many modern orangeries also include a large pelmet which runs around the top of the orangery and roof sits on top of this pelmet. From the inside the roof is part plastered and part glazed. This means that spot lights can be sunk into this pelmet creating a truly modern feel.

A common feature of an orangery is also to add double French doors this allows access to garden from the orangery. For a truly modern look some people are choosing to install bi fold doors in to their orangery. When open bi fold doors really open up your orangery. If decking is installed outside the orangery at the same level as the flooring inside the orangery it can be difficult to know where the orangery ends and the garden begins.

It is easy to see why orangeries are becoming so popular it is the natural progression on from a conservatory. Fashions and trends will always change and orangeries are a contemporary space which will improve the overall feel of any home.

You have done the hard part deciding that you want to have a conservatory or orangery built. Now comes the fun part, actually designing your conservatory. Modern conservatories come in every shape and size possible. As a good place to start go on the internet and look at the different styles available. Worth looking at are a few popular styles including Victorian conservatories which benefit from a pitched roof and a rounded front which has either three or five angled windows which makes the conservatory very aesthetically pleasing. Alternatively you may be more tempted by Edwardian conservatories which are easily recognisable by their square or rectangular bases. These are great as they make maximum use of the space available. Or Mediterranean conservatories are a good option if you have a restriction on height such as in a bungalow as they have a shallow sloping roof. Or you may prefer something more modern, then a tailor made bespoke conservatory may be suited to you.

Orangeries represent the ideal combination of the benefits and looks of conservatories and more conventional extensions. They are wonderfully light and airy spaces due to the glazed roofs as well as being cosy and inviting throughout the year.

For this reason orangeries will provide a unique living space. Recently we have seen a significant growth in popularity – customers who might have opted for a bespoke conservatory or brick extension are now just as likely to choose an orangery.

When you are picking the style of your new conservatory or orangery you need to think about the layout. How is it going to link to your home? Do you want to include external doors that lead into your garden? If so French doors are a great option however French doors can take up a lot of room so you need to ensure that there is space for them. When you have considered all these factors you need to ensure that these will be possible with the style of conservatory you have chosen. Your Conservatory Outlet retailer will be able to advise you on this.

Once you have decided on the style of the conservatory or orangery you want you can now customise it. If you are going for a  conservatory or orangery then double glazing comes as standard. Double glazing is fantastic as it is not only durable and excellent at keeping the heat in but it can also be customised to make it truly unique to you. You can choose from leaded glass, bevelled glass or even stained glass. Then there is the uPVC frame you can choose either brilliant white or wood effect such as oak or mahogany.

It is important that you take your time when choosing a conservatory or orangery – you are likely to have it for a very long time so the extra effort made now to ensure you get it right will pay dividends in the future.

OK so you’ve got the latest fifty inch flat screen television, black granite kitchen work tops and an Italian leather corner sofa. So you think your home is at the cutting edge of fashion when it comes to having all the latest trends. Or is it? The latest trend is to have an orangery attached to the back of your property. Similar to conservatories, an orangery is fast becoming the must have accessory for uber trendy homes. However orangeries are not a new thing at all.

Orangeries were actually very popular amongst the upper classes they were found in the grounds of fashionable residences during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. As the name suggests they were used as a place to grow citrus trees as they could not survive outside during the winter in the UK climate. With the increase in travel around the globe orangeries became more popular as explorers brought seeds and plants back from around the world which in order to survive needed to be housed inside yet needed the maximum daylight possible.

The orangery soon became a symbol of status no longer were they just used for practical purposes. They became an important feature of the garden as owners would take their guests on tours of their orangeries to admire the exotic fruits and plants. Very soon orangeries themselves started to become more lavish and were admired as part of the tour. The orangery became an area to entertain in inclement weather.

This was the beginning of what we now know as an orangery today which is often referred to as the next generation of conservatory. There are however subtle differences between a conservatory and a orangery. An orangery is actually a cross between what we think of as a traditional extension and a conservatory. They benefit from glass roofs which make them feel very light and airy yet the stone or brick columns used to support the roof of the orangery help to create a substantial structure which is cosy and useable throughout the year.

An orangery creates a really unique space and offers a great alternative to a conventional brick extension or conservatory. For this reason they are becoming more and more popular. Orangeries can really help to add space to your house and can be used for many different purposes. They are a great place to relax in with your family but equally can be brilliant for entertaining friends and neighbours. By adding French doors to your orangery it can help to bridge the gap between your house and garden and can be great for summer BBQs when it gets a little chilly outside but you don’t really want to go inside.

Orangeries come in a whole host of shapes and sizes and can be built out of a variety of different materials so you are bound to find a style which is in keeping with the rest of your home. You can choose to have a standard orangery installed or alternatively you can choose to have a custom made bespoke orangery built to fit in with your own personal specifications.
