Lantern conservatories

The lantern conservatory style was the original conservatory style when they were known as orangeries. For those with the right budget, a lantern conservatory style can make a fantastic statement of grandeur and elegance.

It features a two-tier conservatory roof on different levels, creating a 'wedding-cake' effect. The two levels are separated by a row of stylish windows which makes it ideal for period properties of Victorian and Edwardian vintage. They can be the perfect solution when relatively plain conservatories might not match the grandeur of the existing building.

The lantern conservatory is a style that is often chosen to house swimming pools, or for larger conservatories and orangeries. Whether your lantern conservatory is constructed from brick and stone or in a classic glass style, it never fails to conjure up a timeless setting.

The lantern conservatory style dates back to the 19th century when the Victorian gentry enjoyed the height and atrium effect. You can see Victorian lantern conservatories at many stately homes and even at Kew Gardens.

While the two-tiered design of lantern conservatories is undeniably spectacular (and the second tier of windows adds ventilation), their sheer height means they will likely need to be electrically operated - which of course simply adds to the sense of style and sophistication.

When you order your lantern conservatory, you might also consider adding coloured or stained glass in the vertical panels as this enhances the Victorian or Edwardian period effect.

A popular lantern conservatory style option is extra brickwork – perhaps a three-quarter or full-height wall on one side to tie the conservatory in even more with the property. Whatever you choose, lantern conservatories are a grand and majestic option for larger houses and never fail to impress your friends.
