I'm so bad with this, always keep plastic forks for those 'just incase we have a picnic moment'. Safe to say it's never the weather to have a picnic!!

A flickering flame surrounded by ancient carved stone - Antique stone fireplaces add both character and a sense of place to any room, the knocks and bumps of the decades nay centuries, connecting hearth to home. Even with the advent of central and underfloor heating we crave that focal gathering point that a fireplace provides - a room without a fireplace? Nowhere to hang the picture, mirror or tapestry, no were to put your cards and certainly no place to hang your Christmas stocking!

Having read more comments on this subject, I'd like to say again that we do offer both scented and unscented candles as it is definitely a personal choice. Our customers say our fragrances are lovely and subtle and because we use a rapeseed wax on our smaller candles, this has a lovely gentle smell of its own. Also, because our candles are visually beautiful, a fragrance is not always the first thing on our customers' minds. Visit us at http://www.parabledesigns.co.uk

If you were our client, we would first assess which way the house faces in order to understand the direction of the sun and the likely impact on the space in terms of light and heat, plus we would ask what use you intend to place on the new space. It is also the case that with whatever heating - a fully glazed conservatory can seem an inhospitable space in the winter months. Even in the UK heat gain during our short summer is a major consideration and whilst roof blinds can be added - these can spoil the original design intent. A part solid / part glazed roof with fully glazed walls may be the most successful. Attached image of a garden room with a large strategically placed roof light and two fully glazed walls.
