#ProjectSpotlight: Orangery with bi-fold doors spotlight

Avatar

Bi-fold doors have become a major home improvement trend over the last year or so, valued for their modern look and, above all, their potential for views. Once they’re opened wide, they create an access point to the outside world like no other. So if you’ve got the views and want to bring them inside, bi-fold doors are the way to go.

With rolling countryside as their garden, the Honeywood family knew bi-fold doors fit their bill. They added an orangery to the back of their home, equipped with a beautiful lantern roof, timber casement windows and bi-fold doors in white aluminium. It’s a nice-sized space too, but still a cosy lounge. Needless to say, the views aren’t the only lovely thing about this extra living space.

A: We particularly like the lantern roof and the drop ceiling inside that lends itself to some effective mood lighting.
