It is therefore more important than ever to consider the flow between the home and the kitchen, a glazed conservatory or orangery is a perfect option for extending your kitchen, allowing natural light into your space and bringing dining and cooking together in a relaxed and flowing environment.
Entertaining Spaces
Are you planning your garden parties for summer 2021?
This year there will be a huge focus on outdoor entertaining spaces, but long gone are the days of uncomfortable plastic chairs and cold hands in the evening, the outdoor garden spaces in 2021 include all kinds of social design elements such as outdoor bars created within a garden room and temperature controlled pergolas to suit every kind of gathering.
Adding a glazed garden room to your space is the perfect marriage between an outdoor dining area, an indoor entertaining space, and a versatile room that can be used for all kinds of entertainment purposes. Garden rooms can also be utilised as a family movie room for ;atyer in the evening when the adults want to chill under the pergola with a crisp wine,or the conservatory can embrace a wide open space with bifold doors that allow for the home to be at one with the outdoor entertainment area.
Al Fresco Dining
There's nothing better than gathering with family to enjoy a nice meal, and, with the likelihood of garden gatherings being on this summer, you might be looking at new ways to ensure everyone stays warm and dry - even when the weather doesn't comply.
Your glazed extension, be it a conservatory or orangery can help to create the perfect al fresco dining space, especially when combined with large bi-fold doors and lots of glass to create a flow between the outdoors and the indoors, ideal in inclement weather situations.
Enjoy the peace of eating with your family, while listening to the gentle patter of the rain hitting the glass roof above you keeping you nice and dry whilst enjoying nature's beauty.
Looking at your options with a new Glazed Extension?
For a venture that is truly going to change the appearance of your home both inside and outside, a glazed extension is really just the thing...
Working In The Sunshine
Many companies are still reluctant to consider allowing their employees back into the office, and many employees are now reluctant to go back to the office full-time at all.
This is why being able to work outside and in your garden area is going to continue to be a big trend for 2021. This is, however, Britain after all, and the weather doesn't always like to comply with our wishes.
We can provide clients with the perfect solution by creating bespoke garden rooms that are self-contained and fully insulated, to allow newly remote and working from home employees to enjoy a warm, dry working environment that keeps them close to nature and give them the separation they need from family life.
The Home Office – No Longer the Temporary Solution
As the UK works it is way through the end of a third national lockdown, the work from home order is still in place for many businesses, to keep workforces in a job and keep the cogs of the economy going.
If you haven’t got space for a fully contained garden room, adding a glazed extension such as an orangery or conservatory is also a great way to expand your home space for a more flexible option.
Separating your working environment from your family environment has been shown to be beneficial to mental health, especially for remote workers.
Relaxing Retreat
When all that cooking, entertaining, working, and family time is done, you might be left thinking "when is there time for me to relax?". At Hallmark, we have the perfect solution to help make your summer evenings as peaceful as possible.
From a self-contained garden room to a bright and airy orangery or conservatory, there are solutions to help everyone create that peaceful zone that is just for them.
Garden rooms especially can be a great idea for a relaxing zone, being separate from the house they offer the opportunity to be a flexible space that can be used for working during the day and then transformed easily into a peaceful evening, even a yoga studio or meditation room.
When you combine a garden room with large open doors and windows with something like a louvred roof pergola and decking, the options are limitless.
Louvered Roof Pergolas
Enjoying your garden all year round can often be frustrating especially when keen to use your outdoor space to entertain. Not with the Outdoor Living Pod™, offering elegant style, comfort and flexibility in one low-maintenance unit.
