The primary purpose of a conservatory or home extension is to enlarge your home and bring in natural light to create a real cocoon where you'll love spending time. A conservatory offers exceptional versatility, and can be used in many different ways depending on your wishes, needs and preferences. But how should you use your conservatory?

Whether you want to create a relaxation area, a winter garden, an extra dining room or even an office, a conservatory can become a functional and pleasant extension to your home.

Creating a new living space

Opting for a conservatory gives you the opportunity to add an extra living space to your home. You can choose to convert it into a covered terrace, with convivial garden furniture. You can also turn it into a dining room or living room with comfortable furniture and decorative furnishings. You can also create a relaxing reading area by adding a bookcase, or shelves with books and magazines. The conservatory can also be used as a cosy space with a bar, stools and mood lighting for memorable evenings out with friends or family. What's more, you can turn your conservatory into a fully-equipped summer kitchen, ideal for preparing meals al fresco. The design ideas are varied, allowing you to create a new living space to suit your needs and preferences.

Creating a space for all the family

With a conservatory, you can create a place for the whole family to get together and enjoy each other's company. You can create an entertainment room where children can have fun in complete safety. By adding games, and perhaps even a table tennis table or table football, the conservatory becomes a play area enjoyed by the whole household. This area can also be used as a relaxation room for adults, with a recreation area equipped with a television or audio system. For people living with pets, this extension can be fitted out to provide a corner dedicated to their needs with toys, and easy access to the outdoors for daily outings. In this way, the conservatory becomes a family gathering place where everyone can enjoy their favourite activities.

Using your conservatory as a place to relax

Having a conservatory also means having the opportunity to enjoy a space where you can relax and unwind. To recharge your batteries in complete tranquillity, you can set up an open-air tea room where you can enjoy your favourite drinks while making the most of the outdoors. To create a Zen atmosphere, and give yourself the opportunity to do some gardening, adding light-loving plants is an excellent option! Consider flowers or exotic plants. You can also install comfortable furniture such as armchairs, deckchairs or hammocks to relax in. If you're looking for an even more luxurious experience, the conservatory can provide an intimate setting for a spa, sauna or solarium. Either way, it's a haven where you can get away from it all and enjoy a space dedicated to your well-being.

Using your conservatory to telework

Offering a bright, peaceful atmosphere, a conservatory encourages productivity and concentration. That's why you can use this space to devote yourself to your professional activities. You can use it as a home office, or as an art studio. Turn this extension into a place dedicated to your trade, where you can focus calmly on your work, undisturbed by outside noise and pollution. If you want a perfectly functional corner, you can create an office with storage space, a comfortable chair and all the equipment you need to carry out your tasks efficiently. Give free rein to your creativity in a well-lit art studio, equipped with the right materials for your needs, and a space reserved for exhibiting your work.
