Interior design plays a major role in shaping the atmosphere of your home, providing you different vibes and feelings. However, not everyone is aware of the different options they have and choices to explore when they want to bring about certain changes. Here are some practical ways that you can change your conservatory to make it more homely.
Personalization
One of the best ways to make any room feel more homely is with the use of personalized items. The addition of things like picture frames, or souvenirs from travels, or any trinkets from your past, all helps to create a space that feels more unique to who you are and creates a more lived-in sensation. This opposes rooms, and homes, that follow a more minimalistic sense of living where everything is bare aside from what you are prioritizing in terms of furniture and other items. This is not to say that minimalism is bad, but if a more homely look is what you are after, do not feel discouraged or hesitant to add a bit of your own personality into your conservatory, or any other space in your home for that matter.
Repurposing
One thing to consider if you are trying to create a more inviting and warm atmosphere is the possible repurposing of your conservatory. Many people have previously used their space to garden, or include some form of exterior nature. However, many conservatories have transitioned and been repurposed to become additions to the home, as new rooms. If you have not made the transition to repurposing your conservatory, perhaps it is time to consider making such a change. This will allow you to create a more appealing place to spend time in, allowing you to decorate or design it how you wish. Even if you currently use the room aside from gardening, consider repurposing it if you feel you are not getting the joy you wish out of it. Perhaps you use it as a dining space, and simply wish to convert it to an entertainment area or a cozy study, these changes can help bring in a different atmosphere closer to what you envision.
Redesign Of The Structure
Changing the use of the room is one thing, and may have psychological effects on the atmosphere and vibe you receive, but you can also physically change the structure of your conservatory to bring about huge changes that are closer to what you hope for. If your conservatory is dated, rebuilding it with stronger and more modern material can give it new life. Close certain windows to bring more structure and privacy, or open up your ceiling to bring in more natural light. These changes will feel as though your conservatory is an entirely new living space, ultimately giving you a feeling that you have a new home. There are many ways to renovate, and it is up to you and the direction you choose that will impact the final structural design of your home.
Fusing Modern And Classic Designs
The great thing about a conservatory is the sense of freedom and connection with nature it provides in an enclosed space. Doing major renovations and bringing about major changes of course can create a new atmosphere, but you risk losing out on some of the classic look and feel of your conservatory. You may not have to make such drastic changes or completely revamp your design. Consider ways to keep the old look or have them blend with your modern design choices. Keeping things like brick walls, or maintaining aspects of your greenery and garden will help keep your conservatory still feeling just as homely as any new additions.
Curtains
With conservatories, you typically will have huge windows. Curtains are great to add on as they are both functional and aesthetic. You can close them to bring about some more privacy, as well as use them to beautifully frame large windows, creating a picturesque backdrop for the rest of your room and any furniture in it.
Carpet And Flooring
Perhaps an overlooked aspect of modern rooms and interior design is the use of carpets. Most people love the look and feel of wood floors, and as they should. Wood floors fit perfectly with a fused classic and modern design. However, the addition of carpet can add multiple dimensions to a conservatory, especially when you are trying to create a warm and relaxed feel. Do not ignore the options you have with your flooring choices.
A relaxed, warm, and homely look for a conservatory incorporates a balance of modern design blended with your personal decor to best bring out the character of a home. You want to create a space that is as inviting as possible, showing that people love to spend time here. Do not be afraid to explore and get creative with bold choices, because your home is yours to live in.
