A garden glass room is the modern version of a conservatory or orangery, creating a new extension to the house in a way that allows the most natural light possible. This is very much a trend in new home extensions and natural light is a primary consideration of anyone who is going to have a new extension built. Natural light makes a space feel bigger, more spacious, more inviting, and it has even been proven to lift people’s moods. Extensions don’t come with more natural light than a garden glass room – the options for the interior are almost endless and you can style it just as you would any other home extension. However, there are also options to open it up to the outside world in ways that wouldn’t be possible with a traditional bricks and mortar extension, so you end up with a room that feels more like the garden than a part of the home.

While a garden glass room gives the impression of being outdoors, and you will be rewarded with uninterrupted views that make it feel like sitting outside, you will also have the all year round weather protection of your glass room. This makes it usable all year round, so if you want to sit outside on a bright winter’s day, but it is far too cold, you can still enjoy the blue of the sky and the crisp frost on the ground, with the warmth and protection of your glass room.

There are other features you can include to personalise your glass room for all months of the year. If you find it is too warm in the summer, then you can install blinds or ceiling shades to reduce the glare of the sun. If it is windy outside, but it is an otherwise beautiful day, you can enjoy the feeling of being outside with protection from the wind, because essentially there will be a wall of glass between you and it. The sun can still shine through and you can enjoy its warmth, with added weather protection.

Customising your Garden Glass Room

You can make your garden glass room both a part of the home and a part of the garden. If you want the option to be able to open it up in future, then you can use features like sliding doors and walls, that move according to the amount you want to open up your garden room. If you prefer to have a room that is fully enclosed and warm and cosy, you can install all the usual heating an electricity you would in the rest of your home. This will make your garden glass room better equipped for the winter months so it is a truly weatherproof and all year round addition to your home. A garden glass room can make your home more inviting, enjoyable and diverse, giving you a different kind of room to use in a very different way to the rest of the property. Bring in more light and start enjoying your home more, all year round.
