Conservatories have always been a bit of a stylish addition to a house.
These mainly glazed structures originated in the 17 and 18th century, when the land owners of that time began to install orangeries on their properties.
Thankfully, as time has gone on, the remainder of us mere mortals can now benefit from owning a conservatory and enjoy the lifestyle benefits that they offer.Conservatories provide a chic, heated (often too heated in Summer), sunny extension to our homes but choosing the right design is not always easy.
Take heart, today's modern age of social media can help. Let's look at the various social media platforms that you can use to find inspiration for your new conservatory.
The new social media 'babe' of the internet, packed full of images 'pinned' and 'liked' by others and integrated with social media platforms twitter and facebook.
This is an image based sharing website where users 'pin' images using their browser bookmarks bar and then share it with their followers via their own design boards.
Not only will you be able to look for exterior designs and frameworks for your conservatory here, you'll also be able to gain ideas about how to design the conservatory internally too, as Pinterest is frequented by many interior design bloggers.
