Conservatories can often feel like they are not a proper part of our homes, meaning we don’t necessarily get the best use out of them. They’re not always comfortable spaces to be in, we often don’t know what to do with them and they can simply feel tacked on to our homes, rather than an integral part of our living space. However, there are a number of steps you can take to make your conservatory feel much more like part of your home and allow you to get a lot more use out of it.

Upgrade your roof

If your conservatory is too cold to use in winter and uncomfortably warm in winter, a roof conversion is well worth considering. If you opt for a lightweight roofing system, such as Metrotile, you can cost-effectively replace your glass or plastic roof with a solid roof without needing to change the rest of the structure or foundations of your conservatory.

A solid roof will make your conservatory warmer in winter and cooler in summer and you can add insulation under the roof and install a full ceiling. Not only will this make the space more comfortable all year round, it will make it feel more like a real room and a direct continuation of the rest of your home.

Plan your space

Once you have a conservatory you can use all year round, you can start to use it as an integral part of your living space. Instead of being overflow space with no specific function, your conservatory can now become a dining room, home office or second living room. Once you know how you want to use the space, you can plan furniture and furnishings accordingly, helping to make it feel more like a real room, rather than an architectural afterthought.

Unify your decor

Having common stylistic elements and decorative touches across your home can create a fantastic sense of unity. Having the same flooring throughout the ground floor of your home can make it feel like a single continuous space. Repeated use of similar colours for walls, furniture and soft furnishings such as curtains and cushions can also add to the sense of togetherness.

Metrotile’s lightweight, high-performance steel roof tiles make the perfect conservatory roof replacement. We offer a 40 year weather proof guarantee on all our conservatory roofing, helping to turn your conservatory into a longer-lasting, more valuable addition to your home.
