Garden conservatory

Garden conservatory

A garden conservatory is usually a small conservatory usually attached to a private house. In this context, a conservatory is distinguished from a greenhouse in having a role as a living space as well as being used to grow plants. If the space is not used to grow plants is it best described as a solarium.

Garden conservatories are sometimes designed to match the style of the home to which they are attached. On other occasions they are bought 'off the peg' and are therefore in a style which contrasts with the architectural style of the home.
