Toons Top Tips For Conservatory Furnishing

Posted on - 28th January 2022

While it might still be frost outside, and not many people are using their conservatories, now is actually the perfect time to start thinking about the furniture in your conservatory, ready for the warmer days.

Outdated

Gone are the days when all conservatories are filled with wicker furniture. If you had a conservatory in the '80s and '90s, you know exactly what we mean. And we certainly hope that you've seen the back of yours. If not, it's time to swap it out for a little something newer!
Unfortunately, when it comes to furnishing conservatories, it has always been the case that they get the old household furniture or the likes of wicker furniture are still kept, rather than spending money on new furniture.
However, we strongly believe that your conservatory should be used more often. Especially in the milder weather where you can open the doors and enjoy some fresh air while watching the birds fly by. So why not treat yourself to a comfortable sofa to make the most of this glorious space!

An Extra Lounge

For many of us, our conservatories are used as an additional lounge, albeit for most only in the summer. So, why not consider the furniture you would see in a lounge for your conservatory?
A consideration that you may have to make is the colour of your furniture. Sun can bleach the colour over time, so opting for lighter colours will reduce the impact that this will have.
Similarly, it can also dry out leather. This means that typically fabric sofas are the best option for the space.

The Right Style Sofa

With sofas, you generally have two options, the sofa that is there predominantly for style. While it is comfortable enough to sit on, you certainly wouldn't find yourself lounging about on it for long periods of time.
Or you can have the comfortable, spend all day and maybe even fall asleep to it kind of safe. Perhaps even complete with the reclining function to get extra comfortable.
When looking for a stylish sofa, we have the fabulous Artemis upholstery range. This collection is available not only in a range of sizes but also in a range of fabrics and is complete with stainless steel legs. The perfect addition to suit your style.
For reclining comfort, why not take a look at the Somersby upholstery range. Again this collection is available in a range of sizes and fabrics, with the option of both rise and lift functions.

Dining Space

Now that many of us have heating in our conservatory, some even with underfloor heating, we have the ability to use the space all year round. So what better way to make the space usable for any occasion (Even Christmas) than by turning it into a dining space!
Conservatories come in all shapes and sizes, which means that your table has to be the right size and shape to suit the space. Here at Toons Furnishers, we have a vast selection of tables with matching chairs for you to choose from.
One of our favourite tables for a long conservatory is the Truro Butterfly extending table. This stunning table offers a limewash tabletop, with modern grey painted legs. The extending function allows you to give your guests more space when you need it, but more room elsewhere when not in use.
We also love the matching Truro Upholstered Cross Back chairs. Head to the showroom to give these a try.

Playroom

When you have young kids, you often find that at least one room in the house gets taken over by toys. Typically it means that you lose your living room, at least until they go to bed. Which is when the been tidy up begins.
If your conservatory is barely used to its full potential, why not turn it into the perfect playroom!
It offers the kids a space where they can completely take over, with toys everywhere, that you aren't using to relax in at the end of each day.
However, you will still want storage in there! Otherwise, there might not be any space to flex that all-important imagination.
We love the Radcot 3 Drawer 6 Basket unit for a playroom. The baskets make for a great place to store toys, where little fingers can't get trapped! Not to mention the deep blue colour adds a bit more depth to the space than your average storage unit! There is a range of matching units that would look great in a conservatory, even when the toys are away!

Of course, every conservatory is different, not only in shape but also in the style of the homeowner. So when it comes to finding the perfect furniture in Staffordshire, why not call into our Derbyshire Showroom today!
