This is the time of year when conservatories really come into their own. With the British weather not quite as reliable as we might hope, spring and early summer days can be bright – but chilly. If your conservatory has been feeling unloved over the winter, now’s the time to brighten it up ready to see some use. Start by washing all the windows, inside and out (a big job, but worth it!) then take a look at our pick of the best furniture and accessories to complement the new look.

Love that little Bloomingville stool at the end. I’d definitely have one of those (if I had a conservatory!)
Oh I wish I had a conservatory! Loving the look of that Made set – wow! Very very cool 🙂 Oh and I got a few of the faux plants from Mia Fleur and they are amazing, very realistic looking! xx
Loving the Rattan stool- could be used in a variety of ways!
I really like that furniture set from Made, and that artificial fern looks so real. Some really great finds here. I’m totally pre-occupied with doing up my garden at the moment so I’m loving all these suggestions!
Some great finds here, love the white spoke chair! x
