Ways to Upgrade a Conservatory

Add More Colours
Good authorities on colour are the colour and paint specialists at Dulux and Pantone.
In 2018, both companies announced what their Colours of the Year for the following 12 months, and Spiced Honey and Living Coral respectively got their vote.
Spiced Honey is described as “a warm amber tone”, while Living Coral has been labelled as “a peachy orange shade”.
As soon as their announcements were made, producers of fabrics, paint and soft furnishings jumped on the bandwagon and began developing a host of products in these two eye-catching colours.
You should jump on-board too and bring either, or both, of these stunning colours into your conservatory setting.
Use Modern Furniture
Most people use their conservatory as a place for relaxation and to do that you need plenty of furniture to park yourself down. However, the look of your furniture means a lot to the overall look of your conservatory. There is no point to continue reading about making your conservatory look good if you do not start with furniture.
If any furniture you have at the moment is a little ‘old-hat’, exchange it for a new set of chairs and / or sofa.
Handcrafted furniture is currently much sought after as people go in search of furniture with more of a personal touch to it than you get from something that’s mass-produced.
Being able to see and feel the amount of effort that someone has put in to craft a piece of furniture makes you more appreciative of it.
Consider Accessories
View ‘accessories’ as the finishing touches to your conservatory interior, something that it simply cannot do without.
Accessories can cover all sorts of things, including lighting, but we’re going to concentrate on blind and curtain coverings.
Before you buy any blinds or curtains, measure up the windows properly so that they will fit.
Floral patterned blinds and curtains in a pink or purple colour are a good choice for the summer months as they’ll add to the bright and airy feel of the space. For something retro, look out for blinds / curtains with Geometric shapes and bold prints.
