Collection: Chalets & Orangeries

An orangerie (or orangery) is a greenhouse designed as a beautiful garden room first and a growing space second. Unlike traditional greenhouses, orangeries have finished walls, doors suited to a garden entrance, and a look that complements your home. Many owners use them as much for seating and dining as for growing plants.

Rectangle or T-shaped?

A rectangular orangerie is a traditional sunroom shape. A T-shaped orangerie has a center wing that extends away from your house, giving you more floor space and a showpiece look. Both come in glass with aluminum frames (elegant, modern, low upkeep) or warm cedar wood (traditional, rich appearance, needs periodic finishing).

See our full T-shaped orangerie collection and our guide to wooden vs aluminum greenhouses.

Why choose an orangerie?

If a traditional greenhouse looks industrial in your garden, an orangerie is the answer. It is a statement piece, a garden room you are proud to show guests, and a place to grow plants or simply sit with coffee and a view. Many customers find they use it far more than they expected, not for seedlings but for orchids, tender plants, and enjoying the garden in any weather.
