Making the best out of a conservatory in winter

As winter draws in, the days get colder and the nights are longer, making it easy for you to abandon your conservatory in favour of the warmer rooms in your house. However, don’t despair, you can get the most out of your conservatory this winter, despite summer being a distant memory.

Make this light filled room your haven this cold season when you follow these simple steps on how to leave the chill of winter firmly outdoors. 

Stop any draughts

Introducing a few draught excluders can help to keep the cold out. Simply place these against the cracks in your doors to help create a tighter seal in your conservatory. Additionally, blinds can help to block any air from the outdoors, creating a snug vibe in any room while bringing a stylish addition to your interior. A roller blind would be perfect for this, as the thicker material will help keep the warm in. Pull these down in the evenings to make the most of your evenings in the conservatory.

Get the right flooring

If you don’t have carpets, you may often feel the cold easily in your conservatory. Include a variety of rugs to keep the warm in and your toes toasty. A rug will make a great addition to our interior, but will also help to insulate your conservatory, making it a cosier place to spend your winter evenings. Alternatively, make a bigger change and install carpets to really create a homely feel.

Include soft furnishings

Cushions, throws and blankets will all help create a snug environment in your home. Spread them across the sofas and chairs in your conservatory to create a cosy space you want to spend time in. This way, when it comes to those cold evenings you can snuggle down and wrap yourself up away from the frost.

Keep the warmth in

Stop the warmth from being lost through the glass and keep that cosy air inside by including specifically designed conservatory blinds. At 247 Blinds we offer a range of options, designed to keep warm air locked inside, these will be the perfect option to help you get the most out of your conservatory. What’s more, with the slat design, you’ll also be making the most out of the brighter hours of the day and letting that precious winter sun inside.  

Introduce a little light

In summer, your conservatory will be flooded with light most of the day, but in winter, your sunlight hours are fleeting. Make a snug environment and spend as much time as possible in your conservatory by introducing lamps into the room. Although you undoubtedly already have light sources, adding some extra illuminations can help to create a bright, cosy room. This way, when the sun goes down early, you can still enjoy this space.
