Beware of bright winter sun

It’s easy to turn a blind eye when it comes to the winter sun, but it can be just as harmful as glorious summer sunshine, which is why it’s always a good idea to stop your carpets and interior furnishings from fading. Blinds are therefore a great solution. And by fitting verticals, you’ll easily be able to control the light round the sides of your let your conservatory cool down

During the chilly winter season, your conservatory might become rather cold and dreary. Pleated blinds are an ideal way to combat this as they are available in a wide range of specialist fabrics, which will help retain that much-needed heat. You can fit pleateds into your roof for maximum warmth and then choose any other blind style and colour for around the sides.

Never neglect the space

By integrating the conservatory into the rest of your home, it will have more of a purpose so you could ideally go into it every day. With Christmas and New Year’s Eve on the horizon, why not make it into a jazzy games room to celebrate and dance the night away. And when your friends have had one too many glasses of bubbly, you could offer up your new conservatory bedroom for them to sleep it off! Or if you’d just like somewhere to chill out, pull a cracker or even carve up the turkey, a lounge or dining room would make the perfect, easy choice, making the most of your valuable space.

Pleated blinds start at £76 (46cm wide x 91cm drop) measured, made and fitted.
