Conservatory Extension Ideas from KLG Rutland
Conservatories are a fantastic way to extend your home. Boasting an attractive design and a wealth of natural light alongside the added floor space created, conservatory extensions are the go-to choice for many homeowners seeking a single-storey extension.
We at KLG Rutland have decades of experience designing and installing conservatory and orangery extensions in homes across the East Midlands, including both period and traditional houses, plus bungalows and other property types. With this experience in mind, we have put together a guide detailing our best conservatory extension ideas, covering kitchens, dining rooms, lounges and offices.
Kitchen Conservatory Extensions
Conservatory extensions on kitchens have become one of the most popular conservatory extensions of the modern era. Many homeowners are seeking further space within their kitchen for cooking, dining and entertaining, which is afforded by a conservatory or orangery. There are countless examples of where kitchen areas have been totally transformed by the addition of a small or large-scale conservatory extension, creating an ideal entertaining space and room for all the family to enjoy food and drink. A kitchen conservatory extension can either be an extension of your current kitchen or as a new kitchen in a different part of your home; both have their benefits.
Various different conservatory types are suitable conservatory kitchen extension ideas, all providing an amazing amount of natural light and the perfect view out into the outdoors. A simple lean-to conservatory is a cost-effective solution, while kitchen orangery extensions with roof lanterns are a popular modern option. We also offer solid and hybrid tiled roof conservatory extensions, which offer enhanced insulation and durability over traditional fully-glazed sunrooms.
Please note: kitchen extensions like these described are usually subject to planning permission and always subject to building regulations.
Dining Room Conservatory Extensions
Dining room conservatory extensions are another very popular choice with homeowners. Many homes, especially modern homes, include a combined kitchen/diner, so the addition of a conservatory to be used primarily as a dining room is becoming more and more common. This means homeowners can separate their kitchen and their dining room, while adding much more space for entertaining friends and family. A dining room conservatory is the perfect space for enjoying food and drink while bathed in gorgeous sunlight and feeling connected to the outside world. This can be in the form of a traditional or tiled roof conservatory, while orangery dining room extensions are also available.
The example image below is of a modern lean-to dining room extension, but many other conservatory styles are also suitable. Gable end, Victorian, Edwardian and double-hipped conservatories all work well for dining spaces, and through our combination style conservatories we can come up with an entirely bespoke design and shape to suit your property.
Conservatory Lounge Extensions
The most traditional and common form of conservatory extension would have to be the lounge. Either as an extended lounge or a brand new lounge space, conservatory lounge extensions simply offer more space for living – and living well. Imagine the muted joy of sitting in a sun-filled conservatory during the summer months, reading a book or chatting with friends and family. Imagine the seamless transition from indoor lounging to outdoor lounging in your garden. And imagine the peaceful satisfaction of gazing up at the stars in the evening or watching the sun go down. All from the comfort of your new conservatory lounge.
For period properties, traditional conservatory designs like Edwardian, Victorian and double-hipped conservatories tend to be most suitable for homeowners seeking a new lounge sunroom. If you’re living in a modern property, you may wish to consider an orangery or hybrid roof conservatory, which our team of designers and installers will seamlessly blend into your home’s architecture.
Home Office Conservatory Extensions
Thanks to the modern working from home revolution, more homeowners are seeking to add office space to their home. A conservatory office extension offers a simple and attractive way to do this. You could set up your office either as part of a conservatory or as the main use for your new space, giving you the separate office you desire to reach your career goals. Many studies over the years have spoken of the importance of natural light and how it can benefit productivity, so a conservatory office is sure to be a space for success.
A lean-to conservatory may be the best choice as a home office due to pure simplicity and cost effectiveness, however any of our many conservatory types would create a suitable working space. For a high-end office, consider a tiled roof or orangery conservatory extension.
