With the new year approaching, we often start thinking about adding new possible furniture additions around the home. Of course the Boxing Day and New Year sales offer the perfect opportunity to find some real bargains.
Your conservatory is one of the ideal rooms for some fresh decoration. Read on to find out about Auburn Hill’s 10 must-have bits of furniture for your conservatory.

Sofas
This may seem like an obvious piece of furnishing, but it’s crucial to get the right sort of sofa for your conservatory.
Typically, a conservatory is the place to link the outdoors and indoors, which means you’re best off introducing furniture that can withstand both inside and outdoor environments.
Most people will be familiar with the kind of wicker furniture often seen in conservatories. These days, there are more contemporary designs for wicker furniture, including this great, adaptable snug/sofa set.

Lighting
With the glazed walls and ceilings, lighting may not be something you’d specifically consider for a conservatory, but of course, there are the winter months to think about.
Having the right lighting can transform the conservatory into a warm and inviting space. Warm, gentle lighting from floor lamps are ideal.
Why not look for something contemporary which can act as a decorative piece as well as being practical?

Rugs/throws
It’s very common for conservatory owners to opt with hard floors. They’re easy to clean and maintain (always useful when running in and out of the garden) and if you want to add a bit of softness, then a decorative rug will make a great addition.
Obviously the choice of rug depends hugely on the existing décor. If the space is already full of different colours and textures, then a minimalistic design would be best. Similarly, if you have a minimalist room, it would be worth introducing an element of colour with the use of the rug.

Mirrors
These can act as a statement piece in the room as well as enhancing the appearance of space. Venetian style mirrors offer a simplistic, contemporary edge.

Blinds
This item is essential for practical reasons. Blinds are not just a nice finishing touch, they also play a part in helping to keep the ideal temperate climate within a conservatory.
In winter they help to keep the heat in, and help to cool the room down in summer. There’s a huge amount of choice out there too. Choose from motorised blinds (excellent for the ceiling), available in Venetian and French styles.

Climate control
In addition to blinds, you’ll also need some further climate control measures. Conservatories will need some heating during the winter, so you could go for something as portable as an electric radiator, as permanent as a wall-mounted gas radiator, or for a completely discreet offering you could opt for under floor heating.

Bi-folding doors
You may want to give your conservatory a substantial change. One way is to take a look at the door. If you’re traditional, French doors are a good option. Or how about consider bi-folding doors instead?
This contemporary option can give you really easy access to the garden as they are able to open up an entire side of the conservatory – perfect for those garden parties in the summer!

Plants
If you’re a horticultural enthusiast, then the conservatory is the natural place to indulge this hobby. The warmer climate in the conservatory means that you’ve got the chance to add a more exotic variety of plants
