Conservatories have always been a bit of a extravagant addition to a home. These mainly glass extensions originated with the orangery of large homes in the 17th and 18th century, however have fortunately trickled down to the rest of us, allowing us their delights.
Conservatories provide a stylish and also sunny alternative in both winter and the summer and are also warm during both sides of the year allowing us to enjoy the sun all year round. However, though they originated in the 17th century, social media has a large part to play in their design currently and there are some great places to find influence online that can provide you with some great influences.
The new flavour of the month as far as social media sites are concerned, Pinterest provides a range of influences in an easy and fast manner. Just searching the site for pins can upturn some luxurious looking conservatories. Of course, there are also the comments below which can also be used for great conservatory ideas. Why not look for an invite and create your own pin board of conservatory designs before you buy your conservatory. If you are getting a bespoke conservatory, you can use them as a great starting point in a nice tidy layout.
Pinterest also provides a range of great interior design ideas and can be a wonderful addition to users who like to consider where their conservatory will go after it has been installed.
