Whether you want to watch the birds in your garden, enjoy a quiet cup of tea or just to curl up with a good book, you need to invest in attractive and yet functional furniture for your conservatory.
Because most conservatories have higher humidity than other rooms, you need furniture that is weather resistant or made specifically for conservatories. A second consideration is comfort, because conservatory furniture is not cheap, you want to get plenty of use from it, and anything uncomfortable is a wasted investment.
Rattan or cane furniture is the traditional choice for conservatories since the Victorian era. This is because easily it was discovered that furniture in South East Asia and India could easily handle the humidity of monsoon regions, as well as coping with damage from the sun's rays. In fact, unlike the frailer wicker, you can expect cane and rattan to give as long a service as your living room sofa. You need to examine the fabric from which upholstery is made though; it has to be both fire resistant and waterproofed if your conservatory has high humidity. While colour does not matter so much indoors, pale colours still show fading less than dark ones.
Iron or metal patio furniture is stylish and functional enough to move from the garden to the conservatory although for added comfort, you may want to add cushions to your chairs or sun lounger. New styles are lighter than the old cast or wrought iron and come in a range of pretty colours with ceramic and tiled inserts which make them fit in with household décor.
