Modern orangeries have become a really popular way to extend your home, adding space and enhancing your day-to-day life. Whether you want an entertaining space, a room to relax in or a multifunctional kitchen-dining-living area, the orangery is a perfect solution. Orangery design can really bring the wow factor to your home and often is a catalyst to a complete home renovation to raise the overall aesthetic of your property. And, one of the design elements of an orangery is pivotal to creating a dreamy space – the glass lantern roof.
The glass lantern can cover part or all of the roof of your orangery and is a real focal point of your glass room. It allows lots of glorious natural light into your home, creating a light and airy space that is a pleasure to be in. The vitamin D boost from the sunshine pouring in will help to ensure a spring in your step and a great start to your day. The use of efficient glazed roof glass means that modern orangeries can be comfortable all year round.

Orangery and Conservatory Extensions Inspiration: Let’s Look at the Colour Grey!
Grey orangery and conservatory extensions have become an increasingly popular choice. Conservatories and orangeries can be built in a multitude of colour options, whether that is a timber frame painted in your chosen shade of grey, powder-coated grey aluminium frames or a grey uPVC. And just because you are choosing to go grey on the outside, you can lighten things up inside with contrasting internal frames. This versatile shade complements both contemporary and traditional homes, offering a sleek, modern look while blending seamlessly with various architectural styles.
In this guide, we’ll explore why grey is a fantastic option, for your extension and how it can be incorporated into your design, and what shades work best for different aesthetics.
Why Choose Grey for Your Orangery or Conservatory Extension?
Timeless Appeal: Grey is a sophisticated and neutral colour that won’t go out of style.
Versatility: It pairs well with a wide range of materials, including wood, brick, and glass.
Contemporary Elegance: A grey extension instantly modernises your home.
Complements Other Colours: Works beautifully with natural tones, pastels, and bold shades alike.
Low Maintenance: Lighter greys can disguise dust and dirt, making upkeep easier.
Shades of Grey – Which One is Right for You?
Light Grey: Soft and subtle, ideal for a fresh and airy feel.
Mid Grey: A balanced choice that works well in both traditional and modern designs.
Charcoal or Dark Grey: Creates a striking contrast and adds depth to your extension.
The shade you choose will depend on the style of your home, the level of contrast you desire, and how much natural light the space receives.
Incorporating Grey into Your Extension Design
1. Frames and Structure
Grey can be used for window and door frames, as well as structural beams, creating a stylish and cohesive appearance.
2. Roof Options
Opt for a grey-framed roof lantern to enhance the overall design.
3. Interior Styling
Grey can extend to the interior, from flooring and furnishings to feature walls and accessories.
4. Flooring and Tiles
Consider grey-toned tiles, wooden flooring, or polished concrete for a chic finish.
5. Complementary Colours
Grey pairs beautifully with white for a crisp, clean look, or with deep blues and greens for added sophistication.

When you think of an orangery, conservatory or glass box extensions, you most likely envision a medium to large structure. But, a glass structure doesn’t have to be huge to add value to you and your home. Sometimes even the smallest of glass extensions can make the biggest of impacts. Adding a frameless glass side return to extend the kitchen out to the property boundary, a glass box structure to cover a staircase where it opens to the roof garden, replacing a solid roof with structural glass or creating a wooden framed orangery entranceway can make a big difference to the aesthetics as well as practicalities of day to day life. If you don’t have the space to add a larger orangery or conservatory, perhaps thinking about a smaller but perfectly planned and designed structure could make all the difference to your lifestyle.

The look of the modern orangery extension is only increasing in popularity. It offers a great way to extend your home with a structure that feels integrated and part of the original building due to the more even ratio of glass to frame and walls, but also gives the opportunity to add a new flair and aesthetic to your home. This solid design also makes the orangery a great candidate for a standalone structure, making it perfect as a garden studio, gym or guest accommodation. The orangery is a popular choice to extend the kitchen dining and entertaining areas of your living space, removing all or part of the external wall can create an open plan space with a fresh flow between the original and new space. A key feature of the orangery is its lantern glass roof, which creates drama and a focal point for the room, as well as letting in lots of natural light, creating a spotlight for a kitchen island or large dining table. Whatever your motivation for extending, an orangery extension will be a great option for your dream space.
