Conservatory ideas

Can you help with any interesting ideas as to how to decorate our conservatory. Our house is Georgian and the conservatory is traditional in style but I would really like to make it funky and interesting. Would be grateful for any thoughts, particularly around sofas or chairs. Thanks very much.

I would suggest sticking to fairly neutral sofa's but injecting colour and texture with rugs, cushions, plants and lighting.

Yes, thanks very much, that makes sense. Where would you be able to buy plant holders like that? Thanks for your help

Is it dry? Will it have plants standing on it leaking water? Do you have blinds? Are they left open and could bleach wood flooring?

I wonder if you could find a bracket that often supports a kick bag and if that would work? maybe not the style you want (and currently out of stock) but could be painted etc https://www.boxfituk.com/equipment/brackets-frames-fixings/punch-bag-wall-bracket/exigo-ultimate-punch-bag-bracket. .

As others have said, if you cut the grass at the back and remove any obvious weeds, then you’ll have your “canvas”. I wouldn’t use a designer as a) I’m Yorkshire and far too tight and b) if you don’t know what you want yet, you’ll be in danger of really going OTT, to find out later, it’s not really you. D never really had a decent garden and moved into a new build over 10 years ago with a landscaped garden, I then filled a lot of gaps as I didn’t take into account, that plants grow. (Who knew?). 5 years later, I realised that I wasn’t that much of a gardener and that spending hours and hours every week tending it wasn’t my plan, so we stripped out loads of smaller plants and simplified it. If you want to sit out and enjoy it with fiends and family but don’t want to spend ages looking after it, then go for shrubs around the edges. If you want a new hobby or to test your gardening skills and like-ability I’d create a tiny herb patch near your door. This will give you an idea of whether you like gardening or not. I wouldn’t try and create your masterpiece in one go. Measure it all and play around with different designs.(PowerPoint worked fine for me) and then do a side at a time. As for your front garden, to be honest I’d tackle that first as it’s what you see every day when you come home and it’ll look lovely at Christmas. Just turf where it is, as I see it already has edging, again just cutting that and treating it with lawn care should be fine for now. A pot either side of the front door and then decide on the driveway. The resin ones do look nice, we have block paving that also looks nice but still has to be weeded and fresh sand brushed in between the bricks every year. Whatever you decide, have fun doing it.

Japanese hot tub style for inspiration perhaps? Bamboo/timber etc... What is the conservatory like? - if its white UPVC I would have thought you will struggle to make the design statement this sort of adventurous approach may need - the risk is - it ends up looking like a bathtub in a garden room.
