At Enhance Conservatories, we offer a number of conservatory styles at affordable prices. With such a wide selection, it’s hard to know which one is the right choice for your home. To help you make the right decision, we have devised a simple guide to conservatory designs, to give you a basic understanding of the various types of conservatories and which one might be suited to your home.
The Different Conservatory Designs
Knowing the different conservatory styles can be useful when you are trying to work out the right option for your home.
The main styles on offer are:
- Lean-To Conservatory
- Victorian Conservatory
- Edwardian Conservatory
- Georgian Conservatory
- Gable Conservatory
In addition to these essential conservatory designs, you also have the option of bespoke conservatories, and modern conservatories with glass to floor modifications. These names might not mean anything to you, and you may not know the features of each one. Read below to find out what each one is.
What Are the Features of the Various Conservatory Styles?
Each conservatory style offers its own unique look and set of advantages. Here is a brief introduction on the different conservatory designs to help you select the right one.
Lean-To Conservatory
The Lean-To Conservatory is the simplest of all the conservatory styles and features a square room with a single-sloped roof. This roof has its highest point ‘leaning’ against the main property, giving it its name. While seeming like a very basic design, these conservatory styles gives your home a taste of the Mediterranean. They can fit right under the low-hanging eaves of a smaller house or expand to create a large room in a bigger home.
Victorian Conservatory
The Victorian Conservatory is the only one that does not have a square footprint. This conservatory style consists of 3 straight walls and one wall replaced with a large bay window. The window gives that side a curved shape, adding a design feature into the shape of the room.
Edwardian Conservatory
An Edwardian Conservatory couples the square room shape with a gorgeous double-hipped, double-sloped roof. The pitch on the roof can be used to determine how high the ceiling is, giving you a room that is as tall as your property’s roof permits.
Georgian Conservatory
The Georgian Conservatory is often a name used interchangeably with the Edwardian style. Both these styles have the same square shape and roof style, the difference being that the Georgian conservatory can be more ornate in its styling than the Edwardian design and typically features a ‘hip’. For that reason, at Enhance, we refer to Georgian conservatories as a ‘hipped Edwardian’
Gable Conservatory
Unlike other pitched roof conservatory styles which have a slope towards the front, the Gable Conservatory features a roof that peaks in front. This gives the unique triangular cross-section and a dramatic roof design that draws the eye upwards.
Bespoke Conservatories
Bespoke conservatory styles are extension designs that are created specifically for you, either by altering one of the basic styles or by combining two or more. the T-shaped, L-Shaped or P-Shaped conservatories are examples of bespoke designs. These designs can help optimise the available space in a non-standard shaped property.
Glass to Floor Conservatories
Glass to Floor Conservatories are a modern conservatory style designed to give you more natural light and illumination. They feature floor-length glazed panels or windows without a dwarf wall for a contemporary look.
