By creating a leisure area in this type of space, your home benefits from an additional living space ideal for young and old to indulge in their favourite activities. Find out everything you need to know to create a fun and friendly space that will bring joy and entertainment to the whole family!
Why install a games room in a conservatory?
A conservatory provides the perfect setting for everyone in your home! By using it as a leisure space, parents can keep an eye on their children during their play sessions, without having to worry about their safety or the sudden arrival of bad weather.
In addition to its protective function, a conservatory playroom provides additional living space for your home, which can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a storage area for toys and sports equipment, or as a study room.
This type of structure also provides easy access to terraces or gardens thanks to its patio doors, so you can enjoy a privileged view of the outside!
For home-based childminders, the conservatory can also be an excellent workspace, providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children.
What are the advantages of a conservatory for a leisure area?
Having a conservatory for your games room has a number of advantages that make it a wise choice!
With this solution, you can enjoy a bright, comfortable space! Thanks to its materials, such as insulating double glazing, it limits outside noise and the penetration of polluting particles, and maintains a pleasant temperature all year round. The bay windows let in natural light, so you can enjoy your activities without the need for artificial lighting. You can also opt for ventilation systems integrated into the windows and bay windows, as offered by Akena: these promote good air circulation, giving you a room that's a pleasure to live in. Finally, sturdy sliding doors provide added security, giving you peace of mind.
How do you convert your conservatory into an entertainment room?
To create a fun and functional environment, it's important to think about your family's specific needs. Conservatories are easy to adapt, so you can personalise and decorate them to suit your style and tastes! Here are some ideas for transforming your conservatory into a playroom:
- Choose furniture such as tables, chairs and sofas that offer all members of the family what they need to entertain and relax.
- Opt for bright, cheerful colours to create a dynamic, stimulating atmosphere.
- Add curtains, sun loungers, rugs or comfortable cushions to create a cosy sitting area.
- Include equipment appropriate to everyone's age and interests, such as video game consoles, a table tennis table, an inflatable swimming pool, games tables or a mini golf course.
- Keep the space tidy for board games, books and toys with shelves or storage.
- Complement the conservatory's natural light by installing accent lighting to make the most of the evenings.
What should you think about when installing your conservatory playroom?
To begin with, the choice of materials plays a vital role. An aluminium structure is particularly recommended because of its durability and resistance to the elements. It ensures that your conservatory can be used for many years without any major problems.
Its location is also an essential factor to consider. Depending on the weather conditions, choosing an appropriate location will ensure that your play area is comfortable.
Finally, the price of your conservatory depends on the options you choose, and the surface area to be built. So it's a good idea to think about all these factors when working out your budget, so you can create a perfectly functional space.
