Whether you prefer a conservatory, an orangery, or a frameless glass extension, one thing is certain—they make fantastic entertaining spaces. A glass extension creates a seamless connection between your home and the outdoors, making it perfect for hosting guests in any season. With the UK’s unpredictable weather, having an enclosed yet light-filled space ensures you can entertain comfortably year-round.

At Room Outside, we have helped many customers design stunning glass entertaining spaces. From extending kitchens to adding dedicated dining areas, relaxation zones, and open-plan living spaces, the possibilities are endless.

Here are some of our favourite projects to inspire your dream glass entertaining space:

A Large Open-Plan Gable-Ended Conservatory Dining and Living Extension

This stunning conservatory extension was designed to create an expansive dining and living space directly connected to the kitchen. By opening up the external wall, the homeowners achieved a free-flowing, open-plan environment that enhances both functionality and aesthetics.

Key design features include:

• A large gable-ended glass roof that floods the space with natural light.
• Double doors leading onto a patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
• A modern, airy interior with a contemporary orange feature wall for warmth and contrast.

With its effortless flow between the conservatory and landscaped garden, this space is ideal for summer barbecues, dinner parties, and everyday family dining.

An Orangery Haven for Relaxing and Enjoying Drinks and Nibbles with Friends

This orangery provides a tranquil retreat for enjoying drinks and conversation with friends. Accessible via a connecting door from the main house, it offers a separate yet seamlessly linked space. The full-length orangery lantern roof allows ample natural light, while the glass walls provide panoramic garden views.

The customer’s choice to retain an exposed stone wall adds character, while rattan furniture and lush greenery create a laid-back atmosphere. This inviting setting is perfect for intimate gatherings, casual drinks, or simply unwinding in style.

The Ultimate Luxury Open-Plan Orangery Dining Extension to the Main Living Space

• A striking lantern glass roof that bathes the space in natural light.
• Adjustable contemporary spotlights to set the mood for evening events.
• Elegant French doors leading to a private patio, perfect for hot tub evenings.
• Full-width bi-fold doors opening onto a large terrace, ideal for alfresco dining.

The seamless integration between the indoor and outdoor areas ensures that entertaining can transition effortlessly between spaces, making it a dream setting for any occasion.

A Contemporary Frameless Glass Kitchen-Dining Extension

For a more contemporary and minimalist approach, this frameless glass box extension was created to house a brand-new kitchen-dining area. Featuring high-spec temperature-controlled glass, it ensures a comfortable environment throughout the year while offering a stunning modern aesthetic.

Key benefits of this design include:
