Using Your Conservatory This Winter

Posted on - 12th October 2020

We all know that conservatories can get too warm in the summer, and far too cold during winter. But is this idea a thing of the past? With better double glazing now being used in our conservatories they are already retaining more heat during winter. There are also a number of things you can do to make the space usable this winter, with a little help from your friends here at Toons.

Heat That Space

Let's get the obvious out of the way first, heating your conservatory. Some of us already have the luxury of having central heating fitted in our conservatories, if this isn't you, don't worry! There are other ways to warm the space.
At Toons we have a number of electric fireplaces on offer that can truly turn the space into an extra room. These are available as a flush fit, meaning there is no need for a recess in the wall. If you have a nice wall space these stunning Fireplaces make a great feature and might encourage you to spend a little more time in the room.
Again, if you don't have the space to fit one of our fireplaces, there are a number of electric portable heaters on the market to heat the space when you need to.

Dress Your Windows

Just like inside the home dressing your windows can add instant warmth, whether there is an actual temperature difference, or just that feeling of warmth.
From patterned roller blinds to coloured vertical blinds, you can add all the design you want, whilst taking up no extra space. Our excellent collection of blinds allows you to use blinds like wallpaper, decorate the room and enjoy. When the outside world looks a little dull and cold, pull down the blinds, and magically you brighten your space.
Blinds aren't for everyone, some of us prefer good old curtains. Head over to check out our great curtains range, where you'll find a vast array of patterns and fabrics to choose from. The best part about buying curtains from Toons is that we offer a made to measure service, meaning that we can cover any conservatory.

Add Some Comforts

We have a range of comforts inside our home that add that touch of warmth during the winter, why not extend these out into the conservatory?
We all love a good comfy set of cushions and add in a thick complimenting throw completes the look. It works in the living room, it works in the bedroom, so why not your conservatory?
We have an ever changing selection of cushions and throws in store, so why not pop down and see what's in? With these additions being so easily interchangeable you can swap and change to suit your mood! It's a great way to dress the room.
Whether it's snowing outside, or just a bit miserable, wrap yourself up in a thick throw and lean back on some giant cushions and let the winter pass you by.

Warm Up the Underfoot

Many of us have hard flooring in our conservatory, after all that's the done thing right? We aren't suggesting you rip up the floor just to lay carpet for winter. We are, however, suggesting a good rug. You get the benefits of enjoying the hardfloor when you want, and a little bit of warmth underfoot during the winter.

Make a great use of your conservatory by using the space all year round. Add in all the comforts you can, but don't forget about your great furniture too. Here at Toons we have a selection of typical conservatory furnishing available, or you can extend your home out and add in a great sofa or a dining room set.
