7 Conservatory Lighting Ideas

Conservatories provide homes with a beautiful spot to relax in on a sunny day, flooding the house with welcome light. However, with the right lighting, they can also be cosy places on more dull and dreary days. And, during the evenings, they can offer a homely ambience with soft lighting or can be enjoyed with a more modern feel. It is all about just deciding on which type of approach suits your home best:

Spotlights

Easily one of the most popular varieties of conservatory lights, spotlights are easily adaptable and create a polished and finished feel to the room. Spotlights have become increasingly popular over the years and many think of them as the go-to lighting option for conservatories. They are simple and can be easily tweaked to change the angle so that the light falls on a particular space, depending on your preference. By drawing the light down, they don’t overwhelm a conservatory and offer a subtle lighting solution.

Dimmer

If you want the option to adjust your conservatory lighting at the flick of a switch, then dimmers are the ideal option.   They are simple to use and can create a totally different atmosphere within a couple of minutes.

Strip Lighting

If you are looking to make an impact with your conservatory - and you want a striking, modern feel, then strip lighting is most definitely for you.   Creating a dramatic beam of light within the conservatory ceiling, it is particularly good if your conservatory is going to be used for parties or even as a gym. It could also be used beneath kitchen cabinets for a stylish and contemporary twist.

Pendants

Ceiling pendants are the choice of both retro and more modern tastes, as they are available in a range of suitable options. From Georgian style brass lanterns to simple, black box designs, they've recently risen in popularity. Hanging down from the ceiling, they are a departure from the more embedded style of lighting which has been a la mode for several years. They will specifically suit conservatories which are going for a very simple approach, yet with a slight edgy, statement feel to them.

Chandeliers

If you’re aiming for a striking and dramatic look with your conservatory lighting, chandeliers are the perfect addition. Capturing the light and reflecting it back again, it embodies the whole purpose of a conservatory in creating a light-filled environment. Glittering and sparkling at the centre of the room, they are glamorous and create an ideal focal point to draw the eye in - perhaps towards a dining table or to fill a large space.

Floor and table lights

For a cosy effect, floor and table lighting keeps the mood relaxed and comfortable. Whether you are hosting a dinner party and want to create the right atmosphere, or you’re just enjoying unwinding by reading in your conservatory alone, this lighting is perfect. The beauty of it is that with a few table lamps dotted about and a couple of floor lamps, the lighting won’t overpower. Also, you can switch them on gradually, popping a couple more on as the evening goes on and you need more light. Table and floor lamps are more traditional conservatory lights, but if you want a more contemporary style you can always look for more minimalist designs. Chrome effects and simple, Scandinavian styles are also popular for this look.

Wall Lights

A classic option, yet available in a selection of styles from box designs to upward lights, downward-facing and frosted, they are a classic for a reason. With this type of lighting, you can’t go wrong - it offers a simple solution in every meaning of the word, from the installation to the effective lighting provided. It is unfussy and can be a traditional lantern style or a modern spherical shape.
