If you’re having a conservatory or orangery installed this summer, you’ll soon be delighted with the extra space and light in your home, not to mention the way you’ve improved its value.

In the past, your choices in terms of design and style were pretty limited. These days, however, having a conservatory built can also be an excellent way of modernising your home.

And, increasingly, conservatories and orangeries are versatile spaces which can be used as family rooms, for entertaining or as a quiet, relaxing sanctuary.

But if you thought your conservatory had to be conservative, think again. Here are just some of the stylish, modern choices on offer.

* Bright and airy

Create a light, bright atmosphere with very tall windows all around the room, and a sun well in the roof for an extra blast of freshness. If your home currently has quite dark, smaller sized rooms, this is one excellent way of pulling some light into the back of the property.

* Classic yet modern

Give your home some flair with a traditional glass roof, combined with simple, block construction walls made up of pillars, French doors and floor to ceiling windows.

* Minimalist design

Think subdued colours, sleek lines and crisp features for an elegantly timeless and classic look for your home improvement. If your property is an older one, this is the ideal way of adding a heady dash of contemporary style.

* Doorway to the garden

Your extension could have sliding doors, effectively replacing one of the walls. This can really open up your garden space in warmer weather. It’s also ideal if you like entertaining family and friends a lot in the summer.

* People in glass houses…

Go for lots of glass! Choose a conservatory with floor to ceiling windows and a bright, big roof to create a wide, open space. For a modern edge, add crisp white or grey surrounds.
