Edwardian, also known as a Georgian style conservatories are typically characterised by their square or rectangular footprint which makes the most of available space and allows for sunlight to flood inside. The Edwardian is the ideal shape to ensure maximum use of floor area and easy positioning of furniture.
The original design concept dates back to the 18th century when conservatories first became a popular addition to large stately homes. Highly exclusive, Edwardian conservatories came before the Victorian style became popular.
With its sharp sleek lines, the Edwardian Conservatory is both practical and elegant in design and offers more subtle lines than the elaborate Victorian conservatory. An Edwardian conservatory can be the perfect solution for many different options such as a well-lit dining room, a relaxing study, a child’s playroom or simply a second living room. The combination of traditional design and the maximising of space make it an ever popular choice and a striking addition to your home.
