Orangeries – Garden Elegance with Year-Round Functionality

An orangery is the perfect solution if you dream of an elegant outdoor space for relaxation, growing plants, and enjoying your garden all year round. With an orangery, you get a bright, sheltered area where you can sit protected from the wind and rain while still enjoying views of your garden and the surrounding landscape. An orangery can be a large greenhouse, offering space for both plants and comfortable furniture. Its classic design adds style and atmosphere to any garden, and becomes even more beautiful when filled with lush flowers, herbs, or home-grown vegetables.

What is an orangery – and why is it such a popular choice?

Orangeries have historical roots dating back to manors and royal gardens, where they were used to cultivate exotic fruits such as oranges and lemons. The word “orangery” originates from the English term “orange house.” While the original buildings were typically constructed from wood and glass, today’s orangeries are far more accessible and adapted to modern garden life. Flextents.coms orangeries are made from lightweight and durable materials such as aluminium and polycarbonate, and they require minimal maintenance. Compared to traditional glass greenhouses, our models offer a robust and affordable alternative. If you prefer a classic natural look, you may also consider our elegant wooden greenhouses. Alternatively, if durability and insulation are your top priorities, our polycarbonate greenhouses are an ideal choice. And for colder regions, our snow-proof greenhouses provide extra safety with reinforced frames and higher snow load capacity.

Is it easy to build an orangery?

Yes – absolutely. All Flextents.com orangeries are designed as enjoyable DIY projects. With step-by-step instructions, most people can assemble their outdoor room without special tools or professional assistance. Of course, hiring help is always an option – but for many, the building process is part of the experience. The reward? A beautiful orangery you’ve created yourself – ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

Which materials are best for an orangery?

Our orangeries are built using strong and virtually unbreakable polycarbonate and acrylic panels mounted in solid metal frames. This creates an elegant and lightweight look that suits both classic and contemporary homes. The clear panels let in plenty of daylight – ideal for both plant growth and a welcoming atmosphere. At the same time, you get a 360° panoramic view of your garden, allowing you to enjoy nature even on less-than-perfect days.

Can an orangery be used for both relaxation and cultivation?

Absolutely. With an orangery, you get the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat and a functional greenhouse. Set it up next to your patio for a seamless indoor-outdoor transition or find a quiet spot in your garden to create your private hideaway. Furnish it with comfortable seating, green plants, and soft lighting – or use the space to grow herbs, chillies, and tomatoes that go straight from the greenhouse to the kitchen.

How can you enjoy your orangery all year round?

An orangery extends both your garden season and the time you spend outdoors. With a heater, you can stay warm even during colder months. Want extra comfort? Add one of our efficient and stylish patio heaters so you can enjoy early spring and late autumn evenings. This way, your orangery becomes a valuable part of your garden most of the year. And with the right LED lighting inside your greenhouse, you can enjoy the view all year round, even when the weather is not at its best.
