FLOWER POWER
When it comes to decorating orangeries and
garden rooms, a fail-safe approach is to let nature
provide the inspiration for the majority of the
colour and pattern. Here, the interiors team at
Vale Garden Houses has layered neutral fabrics
on pale painted furniture, with accents of colour
in the scatter cushions. One or two floral fabrics
link in with the greenery outside, adding depth to
the scheme without overwhelming.STEEPED IN TRADITION
Be sure to think about the landscaping at the
same time as planning an extension – it will help to
settle the new building more quickly. Clipped box
hedges and tall, spherical alliums echo the finials
that crown the roof lantern of this orangery by
David Salisbury. It is this architectural element, set
within a perimeter flat roof, that distinguishes an
orangery from a conservatory, explains Karen Bell,
a director at David Salisbury.GARY MILLER,designer,
