At Reddish Joinery, we’ve been crafting bespoke orangeries for over 60 years, and we’re here to share our expertise on making the most of limited space.
Why Choose a Small Orangery?
Small orangeries are becoming increasingly popular among UK homeowners, and for good reason. UK properties are notoriously small and the capacity to extend is often limited. A small orangery, however, can provide many benefits including:
- More cost-effective than full-size extensions
- Planning permission often not required
- Perfect for maximising natural light
- Versatile year-round living space
- Adds significant value to your property
Smart Design Features for Small Orangeries
When designing a small orangery, you should carefully consider how to optimise your space. To create an airy, spacious feel in your small orangery, consider:
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Roof lanterns or skylights
- Bi-fold or sliding doors
- Light-reflecting colours and materials
