12. Keep It Warm

@villa.pax

Sure, a greenhouse is there to help keep your plants warm, but why can’t it also be a place that keeps you warm? While many larger greenhouses will feature fans to help keep things cool, you can also consider adding in a classic wood-burning stove to ensure your greenhouse living space is cozy year-round. This space is perfectly set up for a delightful dining experience or some cozy lounging with a few blankets.

15. Potted Palace

Greenhouses don’t have to be filled with raised beds and rows of vegetables, they can also be great places to extend your collection of houseplants to include varieties that prefer a warmer climate. Putting a few pots on wheels will also make it easy to move your plants around based on their lighting needs and make things simple for cleaning.

16. Tone Down the Glass

When people hear “greenhouse” they often picture a fully glass enclosure, but not every greenhouse needs to be completely encased with glass to function accordingly. This charming lean-to makes use of a glazed ceiling and a few operable windows to provide the just-right amount of light. This approach is also great for those who intend to use the space more as a potting shed that can accommodate a few plants.

17. Set Up Your Seedlings

This classic aluminum greenhouse is the perfect spot to germinate some seedlings. If you are looking to expand on your gardening endeavors then a seedling greenhouse is a great addition to help you get your little vegetables and herbs ready to be planted out in your beds. Deep shelves for trays of seedlings are a good place to start, and you can even consider adding in a few grow lights to help them along.

18. Pop in a Skylight

@goodboneslondon

Just because your space can’t accommodate a standalone greenhouse, doesn’t mean you can’t still add a bit of greenhouse magic to your home. Skylights are an excellent way to bring in that extra light for plants, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms or mudrooms that can function as garden sheds. Even better, if you have an existing sunroom or conservatory where you can add a few trailing pots and climbing vines.
