Orangeries
An orangery is a type of conservatory that originated in the 17th century in Europe.
They were originally used for growing and cultivating citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, which were considered luxury items at the time.
Orangeries were typically built attached to grand houses or estates and were designed to provide a combination of both indoor and outdoor living spaces.
An orangery typically has a similar structure to a greenhouse, but is more of a hybrid between a traditional conservatory and a house extension.
They often feature large windows to allow plenty of natural light to flood in, as well as high ceilings to create a sense of spaciousness.
They are often constructed from materials such as brick, stone or wood and are typically glazed with clear or translucent glass to allow for optimal light transmission.
Orangeries can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a dining room, living room, playroom or even a home office.
They can also be used to grow a wide range of plants, from tropical and exotic varieties to more traditional conservatory plants such as ferns and succulents.
In recent years, orangeries have become increasingly popular as an extension to homes, as they provide an elegant and practical solution for creating extra living space.
They offer a versatile and stylish way to add value to a property, and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the homeowner.
Whether you're looking to create a light and airy living space, or a more formal and elegant dining room, an orangery can provide the perfect solution.
