What Houzz contributors are saying:
The achievable fantasy: a conservatoryWould, in fact, a little more room be enough to give you the breathing space you crave? The benefits of the modestly proportioned addition seen here are a window seat, an enhanced connection to the garden, additional storage and great views. It’s also beautifully in keeping with the style and period of the house.
Keep it naturalDon’t automatically grab your paintbrush – consider if a more natural look will work for your property. Unpainted can be a great choice for window frames, especially if you love the rustic quality of wood. The extension at the back of this period home has frames built from timber which have been left unpainted. The mid-brown tones are sympathetic to the colours of the garden and add a soft, nature-inspired effect. If you’re going for unpainted timber, remember it will need to be finished with a wood sealant to protect it from the elements.
Make the most of a small spaceAlthough this addition is fairly modest in size, it cleverly incorporates several key elements that make the overall result something special: an interesting roof profile, a window seat, a connection between inside and outside, and a window set at an angle, which breaks down the bulk of an outside corner and sets up an interesting diagonal view to and from the courtyard garden.Discover how a projecting window could be an alternative to an extension
