What is the ideal surface area for a conservatory?
Most conservatories measure 20 m², and that's no accident: it's a limit beyond which you'll have to make more declarations in relation to the work. However, this may not be the ideal size for you, depending on your needs. Find out more about the main conservatory sizes and how you can make the most of them.
What can you fit into a small conservatory of 5m²?
A 5 m² conservatory is the smallest size of conservatory. It can be used as an entrance, a showroom or a conservatory.
You might be able to fit a bit of furniture and a few plants in there... but you'll soon be limited by the space. If you opt for a 5 m² conservatory, you won' t need to make any declarations.
Conservatory 10m²: what are the options?
In a 10 m² conservatory, you can install a table and chairs. Although they will take up most of the floor space, you will still have some room to move around.
Even though the space may seem small, it's already a great addition to your home.
It can be used to enlarge an existing room, as an office area or even as a small dining room.
What can be done in 20m²?
The average ‘classic’ conservatory measures 20 m². That's a lot of living space.
In this type of space, you can easily create a living room, kitchen, office, dining room, workshop, play area, etc. With the right insulation and suitable shutters, you'll have a real living space from 20 m² upwards, which you can decorate or use according to your preferences.
Can a conservatory be converted into a living room?
Depending on your wishes and your project, your conservatory can become a central room in your home, enlarging it by 20, 30, 40 m² or more. AKENA has designed the Loft range for this type of extension, with models designed for larger volumes.
In a conservatory kitchen or a conservatory living room, you can enjoy the comfort of your home with all the benefits of the best conservatory: plenty of light, plenty of space, contemporary design and excellent insulation.
How much space is required for a multi-purpose conservatory?
If you want your conservatory to function as both kitchen and dining room, or living room and library, then you'll need to consider areas larger than 40 m².
However, it is still possible to create different living areas in a 30 m² conservatory, but this requires more thought to be given to the layout of the space. That's why the daily use and needs of your future conservatory are crucial to your project.
