Hideous conservatory...

I know this isn't pretty but we can't afford to knock it down and start again and we do want somewhere to grow tomatoes and sit inside if windy. So, any idea on how to make the white-framed conservatory a little more easy on the eye?! (Or most affordable alternative) . Thanks in advance!

Am thinking of painting the walls a light pink and the white PVC a nice green.

LHS is wood frame on blockwork with single pane glass.

    Painting it a sage green may help it blend a little better?

    while sage green is good it need to be in one concept with the house, like the window frame, brick or wall paint etc or it will look like patched up


    if you doesnt want to overhaul yet better use black

    Is this a mid century house? If so, I wouldn't paint it sage green. Although it's a new addition (I assume) at least the frame colour matches the rest of the house. Painting it green might make it look even odder. Personally I would plant some huge exotic phormiums and such like around it to at least make it blend with the outside. Sometimes a disctraction is the best thing.

    Hi Juliet- the building isn't actually a house it's a shed/pool built in the 70's/80's that's in the garden of the house.... So all a bit of a missmash

    So what’s the structure of the house like? Does it need to blend in with it, or is it too far away and cannot be seen, just wondering if it’s too far to walk back tthe house if it’s

    Basiaclly the conservatory is west facing and gets a lot of light... We can go into the house which is 15 steps away but still need to think of something for conservatory. Painting seems only option...
