2026 Is the Year You Invest in Your Home
As we move into 2026, many homeowners are rethinking what really matters in day-to-day living. Rather than uprooting, moving house, or compromising on location, more people are choosing to invest in the homes they already love — creating spaces that enhance lifestyle, comfort and long-term value.
One of the most rewarding ways to do that is by adding a beautifully designed orangery. A bespoke orangery doesn’t just add space. It adds light, connection, and a sense of calm — creating a room you’ll genuinely use every day, all year round.
A Smarter Alternative to Moving Home
Moving home has become increasingly expensive and disruptive. Stamp duty, legal fees, removals, and the uncertainty of finding the “perfect” next property all add up quickly. In contrast, extending your existing home allows you to stay exactly where you are — while still achieving the extra space and lifestyle upgrade you’re looking for.
A bespoke orangery offers the benefits of an extension, without compromising on character or natural light. It creates a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, while feeling like a true, permanent part of your home.
Designed for Real, Everyday Living
Unlike older conservatories, modern orangeries are built for year-round use. With insulated structures, high-performance glazing and carefully considered design, they remain warm in winter, comfortable in summer, and bright in every season.
This makes an orangery one of the most versatile spaces you can add to your home. It might become:
• A light-filled family living area
• A kitchen or dining extension
• A peaceful home office
• A garden room for entertaining
• A space to relax, read or unwind
Whatever your lifestyle, an orangery adapts to it — not the other way around.
Long-Term Value That Goes Beyond Square Footage
While adding value is always an important consideration, the real return on an orangery comes from how it improves daily life. That said, well-designed orangeries are highly desirable features and are widely recognised for increasing a home’s appeal and long-term value.Buyers are drawn to homes that offer light, flexibility and additional living space — particularly when that space feels architecturally integrated rather than added on. An orangery ticks all of those boxes.Why Now Is the Right Time
If an orangery has been on your wish list, 2026 is the year to act. Investing now means you can enjoy the benefits immediately — not just in years to come. From brighter mornings to relaxed evenings and memorable moments with family and friends, an orangery transforms how you experience your home.
