All too often conservatories lie empty in winter, as people believe they can only be used during the summer months.
Pilkington glass has teamed up with leading interiors stylist Alison Davidson, to help you maximise its use throughout the year:
With some careful planning and styling know-how, you can ensure your conservatory is not only warm enough to use all year round, but trendy too.
Using premium products specifically designed for conservatories, such as Pilkington Activâ„¢ Blue Glass* for solar control, combined with Pilkington K Glassâ„¢ *, which reflects heat from fires and radiators back into the home, your conservatory will be kept warm throughout winter and reduce fuel bills.
In summer, Activâ„¢ Blue glass allows less heat into the conservatory compared to standard glass, thus reducing heat transference by approximately 43 per cent!
Â
That dark brick wall and roaring fire form a great focal point for winter, but can look quite heavy in the bright summer months. To change the feel, hang a large picture of something summery over it, or a mirror to reflect the light.
Â
Change the furniture; In our picture dark brown leather was swapped for cream cotton covered sofas; alternatively have a spare set of loose covers made to turn your winter look into summer, or cover them with light coloured throws.
Â
Adding different coloured accessories and cushions can instantly change the look.
Â
A large dark wool rug looks cosy in winter but swapping it for a white cotton version for summer will give the room an instant summer feel.
Â
Add lots of fresh flowers in summer in bright, vibrant colours to bring the outside in.
