Edwardian Conservatory

The Edwardian conservatory is a popular style due to its streamlined elegant structure and the ease of fitting furniture into its rectangular shape.

This simple structure means the Edwardian conservatory lends itself well to small spaces, its rectangular base maximising the floor space available in even the smallest garden The design also offers extra headroom, giving a spacious feel to even the most modest of conservatories.

Becoming popular during the reign of Queen Victoria, conservatories in the UK were originally elaborate and ornate structures which represented a grand edition to an architectural style focusing on adornment and intricate detailing.

By the time Edward was on the throne, architecture began to reflect the affordable housing for the new middles classes, which were modeled on traditional country buildings with simple designs. The design of these Edwardian conservatories reflects the simple approach to building of the era.
