I would personally go for the aubergine velvet (thrid from right) with either a central 10cm wide horizontal stripe in the bronze silk (second from left) or with a 15cm wide band of the bronze silk at the bottom. - or both - just a thought! It would lend colour and texture and you could repeat it on a couple of large cushions, then have a slightely smaller couple in augbergine and a slightly smaller still couple in the bronze silk. Good luck!

Whatever you do, do not have pure silk curtains, unless you are prepared to fit a blind as well. I made the mistake of buying silk curtains from Laura Ashley five years ago and they have started to fray at the edges. I do blame myself as I knew silk was not as durable as synthetic but I fell for them and hoped by having them lined and interlined they would be ok. I was wrong, as they are in a bedroom with great views I really didn't want to fit a blind as well. I am going to have to now and have the curtains repaired, by putting an edge on them in a different colour, they were far too expensive to change for new curtains as the window is very wide and the curtains are floor length, plus, they look good in the room, apart from the fact they are fraying! To start with I might just swop the curtains over, rather than have them altered, but I am certainly having a roller blind fitted, it will have to be plain white and in use when nobody is staying, luckily the bedroom is a guest room.

If you were at a point of choosing blinds for your conservatory, what would you go for? We are keen to find out what your thoughts are. Let us know what you would opt for and why; a roof and side roller blinds or all pleated? Below there is a general description on both for guidance Roller blinds- Great at adding thermal comfort and the desired black out effect, reducing UV damage, glare and adding total privacy. Managed through a cable system, height can be easily regulated manually and may be motorised for total comfort. Pleated blinds- Concertina blinds allow sunlight to shine through, without compromising privacy. The blinds will help to keep the conservatory cool and when they’re not in use they can be drawn back through the pleats, into a slim and neat pack, without the need for cables. Thank you for giving us your opinion!

It is a wonderful space and the view to the garden is lovely. However I think it would benefit from some softness that only fabric can give. Roller rather than wooden would be my choice. You could try a billowy white fabric treatment, but that may make it too 'bedroomy'. Good luck with whatever you decide.
