With our range of Evesham and Canopia Greenhouses there is a wide range of choices so in this section we’ll go through some of the universal benefits of our greenhouses as well as a few select favourites to make your decision easier.

Our premium range, fully modular, range of glazing and a stylish design blending modern and traditional into one classy building. With sizes from 6x4 all the way up to 8x6 and a lean-to variant on top of that, no matter the garden, there’s a greenhouse for you. The choice of glazing offers a chance for some additional privacy with the blurry effect of the polycarbonate, or go for the more traditional styrene glazing. And for some extra class and elegance the glass option is a great choice. 

The Evesham

The Canopia range offers choices from the simple and reliable 6x6s all the way up to the grandiose 13x15 Triomphe Garden Orangery. Going for a metal structure does reduce the need for yearly treatment that wooden buildings require in order to maintain their prime condition, making it a desirable low-maintenance choice.

Greenhouse with a Shed or without a Shed?

Transforming your greenhouse into a stunning outdoor living space often means sacrificing the convenient storage a garden room provides. However, there are plenty of options to regain that lost space. Pairing the Woodsman Greenhouse with the Woodsman Shed is like matching a fine wine with a perfectly cooked steak.

But both together is far better, the combi range offers the ultimate solution, seamlessly blending a dedicated greenhouse area with a spacious storage shed, all under one roof. This clever design not only maximizes functionality but also enhances the aesthetics of your garden, creating a harmonious and practical space that serves multiple purposes without compromise.

What is the Purpose of your Greenhouse Living Room

Start with the seating. The seating options really create the vibe of the overall room, for a more relaxed feel then beanbags and sofas are the way to go. Armchairs allow for a reading room vibe surrounded by bookshelves and stories. Alternatively a small dining room table is the perfect date night getaway. 

Once you decide the seating, you can start adding the rest of the furniture, a pouffe to rest your legs, a coffee table for drinks and décor, or even a stylish rug to tie the space together. Soft lighting, such as fairy lights or lanterns, can enhance the ambiance, while plants and cushions add warmth and personality. With the right touches, your greenhouse-turned-living-space becomes a cosy retreat tailored to your style and needs.

Plants in a Greenhouse?

Just because your greenhouse has become a cosy living room doesn’t mean it can’t still be a thriving space for plants. In fact, integrating greenery will only enhance the atmosphere, making it feel more organic and inviting. With all that furniture in place, you now have plenty of surfaces to display houseplants or even start growing herbs and vegetables from saplings.

Late winter and early spring are the perfect times to start planting, and a mini planter placed by the window or on the coffee table beautifully ties the greenery and seating area together, creating a true greenhouse living room.

Sit Back and Relax in your Greenhouse

By transforming your greenhouse into a living room, you create a space that is both stylish and deeply connected to nature. Whether it’s a cosy retreat for reading, a social hub for gatherings, or a dining nook for intimate meals, your greenhouse can be as versatile as you need it to be. The addition of plants, soft lighting, and carefully chosen furniture ties everything together, blending comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. With thoughtful design, your greenhouse living room becomes a unique sanctuary—one that nurtures both you and the greenery around you.
