Concept Red Esagoni

If you fancy creating a winter garden, you might like to design a new structure next to your home, but you can also use an existing space such as a veranda, portico or terrace. The important thing is to create a smooth transition from the indoors to the outdoors, with a dedicated structure in a compatible style that ensures an agreeable temperature and a pleasant environment all year round. A winter garden facing south-east or south-west will make the most of the sunlight throughout the day, helping you save energy.

Winter gardens usually feature large windows, and are furnished with a comfortable sofa with chaise longue, an armchair or two, a fireplace or a heater. You might like to add a few lamps, planters, vases, plants and even some little bushes.

Winter garden

Project Wood Paneveggio

Terrae Beige

Linking the interior with the surrounding outdoor area, the winter garden is now very much an extension of the home, an add-on that can be adapted to a variety of settings. Bright, warm and inviting, it provides shelter from the cold, rain and wind, allowing us to enjoy the outdoors all year round. This delightful addition to the home is ideal for spending some quality time, relaxing with a good book in front of a crackling fireplace, or just admiring a marvellous snow-covered landscape or gazing at the stars.

The ideal material for a winter garden floor is porcelain stoneware. Porcelain tiles come in different shapes, sizes, textures and surfaces. They&rsquo;re resistant to fire and frost, non-allergenic and non-absorbent. This material is easy to clean, and adapts effortlessly to all kinds of design requirements and d&eacute;cor styles, from modern, minimal looks to more classic country or Proven&ccedil;al settings, as well as eclectic, boho chic d&eacute;cor. 

Consider collections inspired by <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.casalgrandepadana.com/products/effect/stone" style="color:#467886; text-decoration:underline">stone</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.casalgrandepadana.com/product/terrae" style="color:#467886; text-decoration:underline">terracotta</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.casalgrandepadana.com/products/effect/cement" style="color:#467886; text-decoration:underline">concrete</a> or <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.casalgrandepadana.com/products/effect/wood" style="color:#467886; text-decoration:underline">wood</a>: their pleasant, relaxing, subtle earthy and sandy shades, neutral tones and subtle cloudy effects combine the beauty of the natural materials with the impressive qualities of porcelain stoneware. This means they can be used in numerous ways, making porcelain tiles a versatile solution, ideal for creating inviting, sophisticated, original settings.

Project Wood Migliarino

Concept Grey

Project Wood Migliarino                                              

For a smooth style transition, it&rsquo;s advisable to opt for the same flooring throughout, for a seamless indoor-outdoor look. This continuity between different areas creates an attractively fluid total look that also makes spaces look bigger. 

While designers used to opt for different floor tiles for the various areas of the home, the trend today is to opt for coordinated d&eacute;cor solutions, for spatial and visual continuity throughout the rooms.

Chalon Beige

The idea dates back to the Romans, who used hothouses to grow plants that were sensitive to the cold, and winter gardens began to spread throughout central Europe in the 18th century. These days, they&rsquo;re an integral part of many homes.
