What Furniture is Best for a Conservatory?

The best furniture for a conservatory is the kind that suits both you and your space. In our experience a conservatory is the ideal place to relax and chill, or enjoy dining and entertaining family and friends. Both, if your conservatory is big enough. Ideally, you’ll take advantage of the light, airy nature of your conservatory and create a magical year-round link between the inside of your home to the outside. Your furniture choices will help you do this and get the maximum enjoyment out of the space.

Some people are led by colour – for example, a light and breezy coastal theme with a refreshing white and blue colour palette. Others let nature lead the way by creating a garden room featuring plants that thrive in sunny spaces.

Whether your style is modern minimalist or traditional comfort, we’d like to help you choose the best furniture for your conservatory. Our years of buying and selling conservatory furniture and accessories has resulted in a lot of experience and knowledge which we’re delighted to share in this blog.

Conservatory furniture for chilling out and dining in

An inviting sofa and armchairs arranged around a coffee table, or a proper dining suite for family meals and elegant entertaining? Wherever you’re going with your conservatory, there’s a range of high quality furniture to explore: the very best lightweight, durable ranges in rattan, rope or cane, with aluminium or teak frames.

Dining sets for your conservatory

The conservatory near the kitchen is an ideal dining area. Convenient for you the host, it also means eating and socialising with garden views but without insects, hot sun, sudden rain showers or wind for your guests. Depending on the size of your conservatory, you can opt for a neat 2 - 4 seater table and chairs, or something larger to accommodate more people. Durability and stylish good looks are just as important inside your conservatory as outside on the patio. So, look out for high-quality Hularo Wicker and hand-crafted cane with teak or aluminium-frame tables including glass-topped.

Conservatory sofas and chairs

The conservatory, as a space for lounging and relaxing, is very flexible whether it works as an ‘overspill’ off the living room, or somewhere nearer the action in the kitchen. The question is, do you go for matching conservatory sofas and chair sets or create your own co-ordinated combinations with complementary fabric colourways? Explore the wide range of beautiful cane conservatory furniture - stylish basket weave with a natural wash finish. You’ll find great comfort in the deep set, high density seat foam of the armchairs and sofas.

Conservatory corner sofas are a great way to make use of conservatory space and, of course, fully take in the view outside. Add a coffee table or footstool and you’re all set. Finally, the hanging egg chair; whatever your style, no conservatory is complete - in our opinion - without one. And, it can be moved outside very easily in the better weather.

Lighting and accessories

Even the coolest, minimalist of styling benefits from a bit of softening so include accessories when planning your conservatory decor and interior. With lighting, floor lamps and table lamps are softer, more atmospheric than the brightness of overhead. Fairy lights, a set of 3 hurricane lamps and table candles are other ways of making your conservatory welcoming, especially when the days are shorter in spring and autumn. Rugs, cushions and throws are also options for creating your own version of Scandi ‘hygge’. If you’ve got the room add some storage, such as a sideboard, for easy access to tableware and cocktails.

Comfort, style and durability of conservatory furniture

We always advise our customers to select pieces of furniture that allow them to take full advantage of the view outside their conservatory. But, don’t skimp on quality, instead invest in the very best so you are assured of comfort, style and durability. Then you, your family and guests will be inspired to sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty of your garden.
