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?"
