The Covid-19 pandemic has made us appreciate the little things that are of utmost importance in our lives. A conservatory is just one of the many things very few people would have thought of in the pre-covid era. Nonetheless, conservatories provide an excellent way to add space, value and allow more natural light into our homes. It allows us to bring the outside in the house, especially now that we have been advised to stay indoors and work from home. Outlined below are some of the benefits and reasons to get a conservatory this year.
- Let The Light In
A conservatory allows more sunlight into the house, making it possible for you to enjoy/bask in the morning or evening sunshine. Basking in the sun enables the body to produce Vitamin D, one of the vital compounds needed for good health and overall wellbeing. A conservatory will come in handy during this time and in winter when the weather is chilly and gloomy outside. - Creates An Extra Room/Space
The fact that everyone is/has to stay indoors may have made your home seem smaller than it is. You may thus want a private space where the kids can study or for you to work in, without any major distractions. A conservatory might just be what you need. The best thing with this is you can turn the conservatory into almost anything from a study room, home office, or even an entertainment room if you so wish. - Adds Value to Your Home
The housing market is as competitive as ever. Many potential homeowners today are on the lookout for homes that are not only comfortable but also have replacement conservatory roof panels. Adding one to your home can help give it a value boost and even make it more appealing to potential buyers. Many of these buyers will want a complete home requiring very little to no renovations. Handling the renovations now (if looking to sell) can tip the scales in your favor. - It Is Considerably Cheaper Than Moving
Moving house is considerably more expensive than if you were to take on a renovation project to add a conservatory. With the rising cost of living and house prices, choosing to stay in your current home is the best and wisest decision you can make in this time and age. While you might be tempted to consider traditional loft conversions and extensions, a conservatory would be the more informed and practical move. - Make Use of The Garden Space
Unless you are a die-hard gardener (not that it is bad), you could convert the otherwise non-utilized garden space into a conservatory. You might even use a section of the garden for the conservatory as well. Most people will create a conservatory to act as a bridge between the garden and the main house. This makes it even easier to appreciate and the outdoors without leaving the comfort of your home. - It Is Visually Appealing
A conservatory helps add visual appeal to your home. The glass used allows more light inside the house and makes the indoors more appealing and beautiful. You however want to keep your roof and the glass clean at all times to appreciate the beauty. - It Can Be Used All Year Round
Gone are the days when the winter weather would render a conservatory useless. Thanks to recent advances in technology, you can now have under-floor heating and even install blinds to keep the space warm and comfortable all year long. You thus never have to worry about the weather outside regardless of the time or season.
