7 steps to the perfect conservatory lighting


For many people, the conservatory is the perfect feel-good place. Nowhere else do oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits thrive as well as here, creating a Mediterranean feel-good factor. The garden lounge completes the summer feeling perfectly. Here we show how lighting in the conservatory can be perfectly staged.

The most beautiful lamps for the conservatory - The Skapetze tips:


With the right lighting, the conservatory becomes an oasis of well-being

In addition to the right plants and furniture, you also need the right lighting concept for the conservatory. Only with the right lighting can you ultimately create a real oasis of well-being in this extension to the house within the glass façade.

With beautiful lighting and suitable conservatory lighting ideas, you should use the principle of the hybrid room directly on the house. The location and light intensity of the conservatory lighting should always be taken into account. The personal sense of well-being should not be neglected. So ask yourself the question: "When do I spend time in the conservatory?" 


Studies have shown that the use of daylight luminaires has a clear effect after just one week: Mood improves, as the bluer light imitates the rays of the sun. Vitality and alertness also improve.


Luminaires with a high Kelvin number should therefore also be installed where concentration is required. In workplaces and workshops, the daylight-like light helps people to stay alert.


1st tip: Flexible conservatory lighting with floor lamps


Conservatory Floor lamps placed behind large plants provide wonderful lighting. If the floor lamps shine onto the ceiling, as is the case with LED ceiling floodlights you also create glare-free, indirect lighting.


A modern arc luminaire brings the table or to the rocking chair, ideal as reading light, light for playing cards or working.


A tripod floor lamp as a decorative light source can also provide great lighting in the conservatory and create a beautiful interplay with the ceiling lights create a beautiful interplay with the ceiling lights.

2nd tip: Provide indirect lighting with LED strips


With LED strips in the conservatory to create attractive accent lighting. LED strips can be installed in the conservatory on the ceiling or ceiling joints or even on the floor.


If you have pieces of furniture such as cupboards or chests of drawers in your conservatory, an LED strip can also be placed behind them as a light source.


Simply send us pictures or plans of your conservatory and we will show you here as part of our lighting design (also available as online lighting design ) on how we would best use light here.
