I don't like them because you can't use them all year round

When so many of our clients want them, how we could we not like them!

it looks light and airy

It ultimately depends on the space and location, but the essential factor to get right is the ability to control the temperature. Don't overlook the importance of additional ambient heating underfloor, opening roof lights, insulation etc.

as a landscape designer in England I find clients can enjoy their gardens from their conservatory 365 days of the year

As a garden designer I find a garden room allows clients to grow tender plants in an environment that's somewhere between outside and indoors.

It connects home and garden

This is a nice airy room addition

we love this look and feel

looks very good

Space could be used to greater effect

Stunned that anyone would vote no! With the right design and the right furniture https://www.worm.co.uk/categories/conservatory-furniture any room that helps bring in the outside has to be of benefit to any home.

Care must be taken with positioning of a conservatory and its size. Small conservatories on a south, west or even eastern aspect can be a hot nightmare. If you get one on these aspects make it as large as you can and don't skimp on the ventilation. If you don't get it right first time it could cost a lot with blinds, additional ventilation and possibly air conditioning to correct the problems. A garden room is a lot safer.

Once you have a conservatory or garden room then start to think of the view out. Plant some winter and spring flowering plants close by and invest some time in working out vistas.

garden rooms are cool!

As a garden designer, a conservatory can be hard to fit into a scheme if not carefully chosen. However, good collaboration with clients has produced great results and special places for viewing the new garden. We have to except that in the U.K. we occasionally need to shelter from the weather!

Garden Rooms all the way! Having a separate, quiet, outside space away from the house is valuable in many ways and for flexible uses. Our clients use them for art studios, games rooms, home offices and gyms, cinema's, study spaces, therapy rooms....the list is endless!

A great way to enjoy the outdoors all year long :)

An extra room and entertaining space!

Log cabins can make a great extension for a garden room- and look very different for that wow factor!

A well built conservatory can add a great space to any house and when fitted with a stove means it can be used at any time of year. Even in winter, with snow lying outside, the stove means you can be warm whilst looking out at the snow.

This is highly dependent on the house and what you use the room for, if it is used as an extension of the garden then they are fantastic and useful all year round.

Pros and cons and will depend on owners requirements.

nice conservatory buti think it could be brighter

We are for Conservatories they do link house to garden

Coming from a background of building bespoke conservatories I find that clients love to have a place to sit in the sun with lots of glass to see the beautiful views around them.

That's a definite Yay!

Yay!

Who doesn't love a conservatory right?

Privacy is far better in a garden room as opposed to a conservatory attached to your home.... this is what our clients tell us.

Garden room. Love them.

We would recommend shepherds huts as a good garden room alternative.

Good idea

Why not - somewhere else to sit and admire your garden!

Garden rooms can bring the outside inside and can be an ideal transition between home and garden space.

Garden Rooms are a brilliant way to introduce light and the outside into your home!

Stunning looking Conservatory

Brilliant work!

Just having a ceiling put in my conservatory, we use it all the time anyway but now more like a room in the house.

Check us out!

We love the inside/out feel of a garden room bringing in lots of light throughout the year and extending a house out into the garden.

With materials used now like smart glass conservatories really are great for all year round use .

Garden Rooms brilliant conservatories not so good.

garden rooms - definitely!

I inherited a conservatory when I moved to my current house. I was thrilled with an extra room off the kitchen. I have a south facing garden and soon found out that the conservatory's temperature rose to 40 + degrees in the summer, and faded everything, and we had to move a tv and Wii box as they were being fried. In the winter it was too cold to use. The spring days were ok, but would never purchase one. I have recently removed it and am in the process of having a brick extension built. Absolutely no idea why anyone would buy a conservatory!

I never understood why people don't build their conservatory for year round use. It's all about light and heat control. Automatic sun reflective shades along the roof windows will keep the room from overheating in the summer and even help keep it warm in the winter. Proper wall and ceiling insulation, double or gas permeated triple glazing will keep it comfortable year around with the right heating. Add a wee wood stove in a corner with a simply pipe chimney and you have yourself a lovely winter sun room to brighten your cold winter days. If you live where there is snow, even better. It'll feel like a wee slice of paradise.

Definitely!
