Preparing your orangery for summer

A Westbury orangery is more than just a room; it’s a place to relax no matter the season.

Built to last and crafted with timeless elegance, your orangery is designed for year-round comfort. Our neutral colour schemes make a statement and lend themselves to personalisation, so you can truly make your garden room the heart of your home.  

With summer in full swing, a few simple touches can elevate your space without the need for any major renovations to give you that effortless summery feel.

Preparing your orangery for warmer months

Although Westbury garden rooms and orangeries are designed with durability in mind, a little care goes a long way and can make all the difference to keep them looking their best. We recommend doing these at the start of each season.

Here is a simple checklist you can follow:

• Wash down paintwork to remove any dust or dirt
• Wipe the rain sensors to allow them to sense rain accurately
• Adjust folding doors to ensure they operate smoothly
• Clean ironmongery to keep them gleaming
• Stain thresholds to protect them from any wear and tear

Summer colour palettes that complement your garden room

At Westbury, the paint we use will suit any season and can last up to 12 years with the correct maintenance, giving it a beautiful finish and long-lasting protection. But if you are looking to freshen things up for summer, there is plenty of room to be creative!

Colourful Pillows and Blankets

Add throw pillows or blankets featuring blues, yellows, or whites and use removable cushion covers so you can update them for each season.

Style the Table

If your orangery includes a dining space, try adding bright placemats or coasters to introduce a subtle pop of colour. Also, consider opting for natural textures to bring in an outdoorsy feel that will complement your timber orangery perfectly.

Enhance the Space with a Rug

A seasonal rug can make all the difference. Choose light, neutral tones or colourful patterns to instantly lift the room, whether it’s under a coffee table or by the doors leading to the garden.

Summer accessories for your orangery

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. A few thoughtfully chosen accessories can naturally bring summer into your home.  

Fresh Flowers and Plants: Brighten up dark areas with fresh plants and flowers or use them as a centrepiece on a table to add freshness to your garden room.  

Bowls of Fruit: Lemons, oranges and limes can add colour and fragrance.

Candles: Choosing citrus or sea salt scents can create a light and breezy atmosphere that feels synonymous with summertime.

Your Year-Round Retreat

However you choose to accessorise, one thing remains: Westbury garden rooms are timeless and can be enjoyed come rain or shine.
