How to Keep Your Conservatory Warm This Autumn & Winter

Tips For Creating A Cosy Conservatory This Autumn/Winter

It is fair to say that the vast majority of homeowners will use their conservatory much more in the spring and summer months than they will in autumn/winter. This usually means that this whole room is left unused for half of the year, which is undeniably a waste of such an incredible space. Thankfully, our conservatory specialists have lots of tips that can help to create a cosy conservatory that you will love to spend time in as it starts getting colder outside.

Whilst the summer sun may still be shining, it goes without saying that autumn will be here before we know it and if you’re wanting to prep your conservatory for the later end of the year, then now is the perfect time to start work. So, to help any homeowners with their conservatory transformation, below our team here at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions have put together a list of brilliant ideas that you may want to consider.

Change the colour scheme

Neutral colours are incredibly popular in conservatories and many try to keep this space as light and airy as possible. Whilst this is brilliant during spring and summer months, you may find that it makes the room feel bare and cold at other times of year.

It may be worth changing the colour scheme in the room and adding in some darker colours, like earthy tones or navys and purples, will instantly add warmth to the room. If you won’t want to completely redecorate, why not add some darker blinds/curtains or even a rug, this small change will still make a difference.

Update the room’s accessories

Whether you use your conservatory as a living space or a dining space, it isn’t uncommon for this room to lack accessories. Often, conservatory specialists find that homeowners keep the space quite open and only have a lamp or a few indoor plants.

As it gets colder outside, one of the easiest ways to make the room feel more cosy is to invest in some seasonal accessories. Simply purchasing some cushions and throws/blankets for the sofas or table runners and centerpieces for a dining table can make a huge difference. These are all pieces you can easily take away again next spring/summer too.

Add in some additional lighting

Often, many homeowners simply rely on natural light flooding in through the windows and doors in their conservatory and it is very rare that they will turn on an artificial light, especially during the summer months. Some may even have little to no artificial light in the room.

When the days are shorter and generally much darker, updating the lighting in your conservatory will help to make this space much more usable. You can easily create ambiance with the right lighting and you should play around with the different types of task and accent lighting, such as storm lanterns and fairy lights.

Consider a roof replacement

The vast majority of people will get a conservatory installed with a completely glass roof. This can be brilliant in summer months if you like the heat, but during autumn and especially winter, it will make the room freezing cold and unbearable to use.

Whilst this is a permanent change, you should still consider a roof replacement this winter. There are so many benefits to doing so and it is likely that you will enjoy the space much more all year round when working with a conservatory specialist to install a solid roof. It is definitely worth looking into further and it can instantly make your conservatory usable in all months.

Completing a conservatory roof transformation for autumn/winter

Hopefully, the tips above will be beneficial to any homeowners who are looking to make the most of their conservatory all year round and there is no denying that they can make such a huge difference to the look and feel of the space. You can guarantee that when creating a cosy conservatory, you will now love to spend time here during the colder months and it won’t just be a space that you spend time in when the sun is shining.

If you would like to speak to a conservatory specialist about upgrading your conservatory roof system, as mentioned above, in time for winter this year, don’t hesitate to contact our team at Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions. We will happily provide you with any additional information that you may require about this brilliant home improvement that you can undertake on your existing conservatory.

  Great service from start to finish. Guys who done the installation were friendly and tidy work and cared. we went from polycarbonate to solid and I wouldn't look back. I would recommend Nu-Look for a professional service from all the team from David to the girls in the office 5* service

  A very efficient first rate service. The team stripped off the old polycarbonate roof, custom made a new framework, insulated it and replaced  the roof with 'tiles'. A day or two later a chap plastered the new ceiling. We were so impressed with the whole operation and how streamlined it was, but even more so with the finished room. We have achieved exactly what we wanted and we love it!

  From the moment the representative came and quoted me a price and the work involved I was pleasantly surprised at the price and agreed instantly. On the fitting day the two chaps arrived on time and after discussing plans with me they got straight to work. Adam(Lukasz) and Sol(Smart)worked together as a team and the roof appeared before our eyes in hours. Finally the finish they achieved and the care taken was of a high standard. Lastly although I said I would clear up they insisted and left the garden as they found it. Many thanks to all involved

  STUNNING TRANSFORMATION. Had a large P shape conservatory with a Poly sheeted panel roof which were coming to the end of their life, for years had been having companies arrive and push for a sale, in early May a new "Checkatrade" leaflet arrived and Nu-Look name took my eye. Salesman Gavyn came with samples to show construction, liked what we heard so went with Nu Look, next step Matt the surveyor approved the build agreeing it could go a head. Week of build weather looked horrendous but it held off, Gareth and Archie arrived and what professionals  they were, turned up on time and made sure all materials were on hand to complete the work. They needed to deconstruct and construct framework  to allow the electrical work by "Dixie" and plastering by Brett and Darren to go a head, watching Gareth cut those angled sections more so for the valley was outstanding, such a craftsman and Archie was kept on his toes. Same with Brett and Darren outstanding plaster work and gave great advice when to paint ceiling due to hot weather, Dixie finished LED lighting. We also went for building control which Nu -Look deal with via Stroma. Must not forget Emily in the office, any issues she was on it. We opted for the £100 deposit on agreement and the Novuna finance route, which we paid off soon after with an additional cost of £29 to do so, great finance company, web site and communications excellent. We had a conservatory and now have a garden room and already in these very hot conditions we feel a difference much more comfortable, so if you are thinking about replacing those poly sheets give NU-Look a call, glad we did. Thankyou all from Roger and Sandra.

  We recently had a new tiled conservatory roof fitted by Nu-Look and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish all the staff were friendly and helpful. The salesmen was not pushy, he gave me a honest opinion on what needed doing and didn’t try to oversell. I would highly recommend Nu-Look to anyone that is looking to upgrade there conservatory roof to a tiled one. It’s made such a difference especially that we have been able to use it during this heat wave.

  Nu-look have done a fantastic job of replacing my old poly carbonate roof with a solid roof. I can't recommend them highly enough, from the initial consultation with Gavyn, to the surveyor, and all of the tradesmen involved.

  Excellent company. This is a great company wth a great product. I wanted to insulate my conservatory roof. I had several companies around to quote for the work. Nu-Look were the only company where the representative took time to listen to what my problem was and discuss a proposed solution. All the others simply tried to press a product on me without listening to the customer. Additionally all the other companies offered their “solution” at ridiculously high prices. If you want a builder who listens to his clients problem and proposes a solution that meets the client’s needs not theirs then use Nu-Look for unparalleled quality and value for money. Following my acceptance of the quote I was visited by a very professional surveyor who was like every other person associated with the company being polite and keen to answer any questions I had. When the tradesmen arrived they were bang on time. They undertook the installation quickly and to a high standard. They were professional and polite throughout. I would recommend Nu-Look without hesitation. Jeremy M - Milton Keynes
