Conservatory Storage – The Rules
A) You can’t go mad with furniture
It’s vitally important that you don’t overload your conservatory with large items or pieces of furniture such as sofas, dressers or cabinets as these are hard to fit and also difficult to move if you want to change the layout in the future. Instead, keep smaller items that can be squeezed into areas of the room like a jigsaw.
B) Keep centre spaces free from clutter
Having a large rug in the centre of the room can act as a perimeter of where to keep open and space free. You want to be able to move around the room freely and get to whatever item you’re after, and that’s impossible if all the storage is stuck smack bang in the middle of the room. Instead surround it around the edges of the room against the wall and split it into different categories so you know where everything would be for one room.C) Don’t let any storage block the light
With storage in a conservatory, they can sometimes feel claustrophobic which is why it’s good to not block the windows and light.
If you do, your conservatory is in danger of becoming dark and dingy. Place all your furniture at a reasonable height or position where there is still plenty of sunlight to enter the room. This allows you to maintain a good room in the house where people can come and enjoy whilst also having certain areas for storage alone.
You can add serious value to the price of your home with a well laid out and well designed conservatory. Easier House researched conservatory prices and claim they can cost anywhere up to £20,000 in the current market. So if you have one, it’s wise to make the most of it.
