Chic Conservatory

Did you like the image above? It's called a conservatory. What is a Conservatory? A conservatory is a glass and metal structure traditionally found in the garden of a large house or public park. Modern conservatories are smaller, can be made of PVC and are often added to houses for home improvement purposes. In the UK a conservatory can also refer to a smaller glass enclosure attached to a house. In other parts of the world this is referred to as a Sunroom. The traditional nineteenth century conservatory was a large greenhouse used for growing tender and rare plants, or, less often, for birds and rare animals – sometimes with the plants and animals living together and to to display tropical plants and to hold flower displays.
