FILL IT WITH PLANTS
The simplest way to achieve the natural ( or wild ) look , blurring the lines between the outside and the in , is with plants . If your space is bright , airy and has lots of natural light , you can be more daring with your plant choices ; keep in mind that some varieties require a lot of light and prefer warmer temperatures – ideal if you have a glass framed conservatory or roof . Some won ’ t be thankful for freezing cold winters however , therefore they may need to be moved when it starts to get colder .
When it comes to choosing your plants , go all out and embrace the jungle feel . Choose different varieties to add texture and depth ; there ’ s just something so beautiful about a conservatory space swamped in greenery . If you ’ re lucky enough to have tall ceilings , you could look into adding a tree or hang planters from the ceiling . Don ’ t be afraid to go big ; garden rooms are often the perfect environment for plants .
