Family Rooms/ Conservatories

While contemplating building again,

now seems a time to collect favourite pics together to identify must haves.



French doors opening to the outside seem to me to be a must


(Shabby Chic)
Big openings to create a flow or seamlessness


Panelled at the bottom
(Simple pergola with wisteria trailing- solar friendly)


Still filled with French furniture


Maybe a fireplace




Lots of glass to get the conservatory feel


These were from an open garden last year in WA


I think I'd even prefer it to an alfresco which is so popular in new homes in WA


My big quetion is "Do I need a gabled roof or just a high ceiling?"

  10. I love it when homes have an indoor outdoor feel...an easy flow from one to the other. And I'm alway tempted to know out ceiling and get right up to the roof line. Wonderful photos, thanks. Trish
