Most of us are likely to have experienced pressure on our living spaces over the past year or so. Throughout the pandemic, our homes have had to perform a number of other functions, from home working to home schooling and more, all of which has created a requirement for additional flexible living space.
These factors and a number of others have helped to drive an even greater demand for quality home extensions that add space and value, with orangeries and garden rooms (and other similar types of glazed extensions) leading the way. So who better than our friends at David Salisbury, widely recognised as market leaders, to provide some expert advice on the key benefits of extending your home with a luxurious timber orangery?
Neville Johnson and David Salisbury share the same ethos of creating bespoke, timeless designs that have transformed many well-appointed residential properties all around the country – inspirational ideas and careful planning are the hallmarks of every such project, so here are 5 key benefits to help kick start your thinking.
1.Natural Light
The benefits of natural light, for our physical and mental well-being, are well-documented and, if anything, the effects of being at home during the pandemic have served to further underline this need. Older properties often suffer from lower light levels so the addition of an orangery or garden room, with generous proportions of glazing and a roof lantern, will immediately increase light levels within your home.
The situation of your property, its architecture and surrounding environment will all influence the final design, but whatever the case, an orangery or garden room will provide a light-filled room to be enjoyed all year round.
2. Indoor/Outdoor Living
Creating a seamless link between indoors and outside, there is nothing quite like a glazed extension with bi-fold or French doors to bring your garden closer to home.
Being able to effortlessly move from inside to out, ensuring the vagaries of the weather are taken into account, is often an important part of being able to enjoy our gardens and entertain friends and family. An orangery or garden room will help transform your enjoyment of your home and living space.
3. Adding Flexible Living Space
Improving your home with this type of multi-functional living space can help serve a wide range of purposes, whether it be as a dining or living room, or place for relaxing or entertaining. For those working at home, getting the environment right is essential for productivity – an orangery can do just this, with its combination of natural light and calming atmosphere.
4. Closer to Nature
Design that brings people closer to the natural environment has been an increasing trend in recent years, mainly due to the positive impacts on our health and well-being. Known as ‘biophilic design,’ perhaps one of the more obvious examples of this style in a residential context has been the increase in demand for orangery and garden room extensions.
Usually providing panoramic views, due to their glazed walls and windows, adding an orangery to your home will immediately bring you closer to your garden and to nature in general.
5. Adding Value
Installing an orangery or garden room will not only add multi-functional living space, it will also add significant value to your property.
This uplift in value will obviously vary according to the size, scope and specification of the design – but working with a trusted brand like David Salisbury will ensure a luxurious overall finish, that can be enjoyed for years to come.
So that’s just five of the key benefits that adding an orangery or garden room to your home will provide. As with any significant building or home improvement project, the starting point should always be to seek some expert professional advice.

From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
Judith Scorer, Stockport
A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
Cherry Murdoch, London
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
Rosalind Tunnicliffe, Solihull
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
Alison Cole, Swinton
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
