Rectangular or faceted?

Edwardian designs use a square or rectangular footprint, while Victorian styles have a faceted front. A straight-sided room can simplify furniture placement; a faceted front changes the outlook and the usable corners.

Lean-to, gable-end or P-shaped?

A lean-to has a sloping roof against the house. A gable-end gives a different roof profile; a P-shaped layout combines distinct parts of a room. Compare their proportions with the available garden space and adjoining walls.

Choose the roof and doors together

Roof design, glazed areas and door positions all affect the room. Bring a sketch and examples you like to a survey so the team can discuss what suits your property.
