Preston orangery and conservatory company, Croft love to hear from customers about how they are using and enjoying the extra space that Croft have created in their home.

The reason many of our customers look to add an orangery onto their Preston and surrounding Lancashire area homes is to get more space to entertain friends and family. A key time when our doors are wide open to entertain guests is Christmas so make sure that your orangery or conservatory is looking inviting ahead of the Christmas period this year.

Below are some tips on how to make your orangery, conservatory or garden room ready for Christmas.

Having an extra usable space means that entertaining is so much easier and more enjoyable when you have an orangery, conservatory, or garden room to flow into. Maybe you want your kitchen to flow into an orangery so that your guests can be nearby while you cook up a festive storm. Maybe you prefer an extra seating area off your sitting room to cater for your whole family in one go, or somewhere to keep the children entertained while you relax. At Croft we listen carefully to our customers’ needs and tailor a bespoke orangery or conservatory that is both sympathetic to your existing building and also adds a beautiful contemporary look that will impress your guests.

Tired of tripping over your Christmas tree? Why not make the orangery the centre of attention and put your main or an additional Christmas tree in there. Christmas lights reflect beautifully against glass and will also add a new dimension to your room. Why not update your cushions with a festive twist, add a festive fur throw over the arm of your sofa and add a scented candle or two to make the room even smell Christmassy.

Cold conservatories in winter are a thing of the past with Croft’s latest A+ rated glass technology so an orangery is a lovely venue for opening presents on Christmas morning. Simply gather your family together, direct them to the tree, add a bucks fizz or two and voila!

Want everyone away from the kitchen while you prepare the meal or afterwards so that you can clear up? Why not use your orangery or conservatory for a separate area to relax with an aperitif before the main event or with a much needed coffee and mints afterwards. By having an extra room in your house, you have the flexibility to give guests a change of scene throughout the day. Maybe your orangery or conservatory is already used as a formal dining room or if not, there is no reason why it could not be made into one for the big day. The best bit about having more space is the flexibility it offers you to run Christmas the way you want to.

A Preston orangery, conservatory or garden room is for life though, not just for Christmas! It will add extra space to your home all through the year. Invite the neighbours round for a New Year’s Eve party or celebrate all the big occasions at home. With an expertly crafted orangery, conservatory or garden room from Croft, space need never be an issue again.
