Conservatory Interior Ideas
At Stormshield, we believe that designing the interior of your conservatory offers a unique opportunity to add your favourite decorations, set your dream theme, adjust the natural lighting, and make it comfortable. Here are some furniture and decor ideas to consider:
Bright Cushions and Throws
Bright cushions and throws are attractive elements that help boost the vibrant energy of Summer. Try to include cushions and throws in summer yellows, bright blues, and greens to promote the warmth and brightness of the season. This pop of colour will help to add a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere when preparing for the exciting summer ahead.
Plants
Buying plants to place in your conservatory this summer brings in a fresh burst of nature. Choosing a variety of tropical plants like ferns, orchids, and palms will help in giving your conservatory an extra boost in that summer holiday feel.
It may be worth including hanging plants to add depth and appeal to your space, allowing them to create a pretty aesthetic when hanging frim ceiling hooks or shelves. Additionally, placing a variety of potted plants around the conservatory will help to add texture and a homely feel.
Moreover, if you are looking to add that touch of summer fragrance, it may be worthwhile including plants that are lightly scented such as lavender or jasmine.
Light Curtains & Blinds
Having light curtains or blinds is beneficial for styling your conservatory in summer, providing this living space with practicality and stylish appeal. The adjustment of curtains and blinds allow natural light to filter in the space while also offering sun protection and privacy.
Try to choose light, airy curtains in a light colour like white or pastel colours to complement the summery atmosphere and create a soft, and dispersed glow in the conservatory. Any sheer fabrics and materials like voile and chiffon are ideal for maintaining a bright and open environment.
Light Furniture
Try choosing a lightweight and comfortable furniture piece such as wicker or rattan chairs, sofas and tables. These materials are a great choice for summer as they provide a natural and luxurious vibe.
These furniture pieces often include open weaves or slatted designs, allowing air to circulate through the furniture freely, and preventing the space from feeling stuffy. Being paired with soft cushions in bright, positive colours, light and modern furniture creates a welcoming living space where you can sit back and relax in the summer warmth.
Lighting
Increase the ambience with soft and warm lighting for the summer evenings, such as purchasing string lights, fairy lights, or lanterns. These lights are known for creating that cosy and dimmed feature for the best summer nights when gathering with friends and family.
Consider installing dimmer switches to adjust the brightness according to the period of the day and the type of atmosphere. This may be beneficial to those who prefer a more laid-back and relaxed setting on the evening and also provides the opportunity to have the light adjusted to full brightness when you may be eating your evening meal.
