Could conservatories and arch windows be back in vogue?

The Victorian country house is fashionable once again, it has been suggested, which may inspire homeowners to invest in historical immigration fittings, such as arch windows ( http://www.force8.co.uk/arch-windows.php ) and doors and conservatories.

According to the Times, for some time such buildings have been considered as "ugly" and uncomfortable to live in, but that this trend was changing.

The newspaper points to the example of Blaisdon Hall, in Gloucestershire, which features "splendid" bay windows ( http://www.force8.co.uk/index.php ), pairs of arch windows ( http://www.force8.co.uk/arch-windows.php ) and ends "in best Victorian fashion with a handsome conservatory".

In addition, the arch windows ( http://www.force8.co.uk/arch-windows.php ) are surmounted by glazed roundels and surrounded by carved stone detailing.

While moving into a Victorian country mansion may be beyond the budgets of many Britons, they could still take inspiration from the era in their own homes.
