Why garden rooms and conservatories?

I chose garden rooms and conservatories because when I went to Morocco I stayed in a Riad. In the centre of this Riad was a room that represented a garden, There was a beautiful water fountain in the centre with detailed tiles surrounding this area and paintings of exotic plants and flowers up on the rustic looking walls. The mixture of all these various textures was surprisingly not too busy, yet overwhelming and pleasing. Later on during my stay in Morocco I found out that all Riads have a representation of a garden of some sort in the centre, Also known as the heart of the home.

As I was bringing the Morocco theme and influence back home to Europe for the mass market I decided the best room to design for to interpretate my findings would be garden rooms or conservatories. This led m on to research who in the European population has a garden room or conservatory. I found research tables that showed mainly new couple or older couples had conservatoies and this influenced my decision on designing for aspirational homemaker/s aged 25-35 years

When researching garden rooms and conservatories I found that most designs for these rooms are plain and neutral with minimal splashes of colour here and there. I want to change this and bring some life and soul into these rooms.
