We had a short window to home-ify our unloved conservatory - waiting until after the heat of summer made it possible to spend any time working in it, but needing to complete it before the first frosts when our tender perennials need to come inside.We changed the flooring from cork tiles (damaged from too much UV and heat) for a bathroom quality laminate. Made the lighting safe to use. Looked into proper blinds & shading, but resorted to a lower cost tenting solution using ready made IKEA curtains and velcro. Jute rugs & beanbags courtesy of sample sales.
We're both just hoping we've made it resistant enough to the harsh conditions of extreme heat & sunlight - and its peculiar attractiveness to insects. The fabric's going to fade, but I hope it will look OK faded - and we've designed it so it can be easily cleared of dead flies & washed properly.
The only problem now is that Husband now wants a greenhouse as he's reluctant to subject it to the plants every winter....
