The term garden lover is not to be used lightly, and for those that truly are enchanted with their garden they will want to be able to enjoy it every chance they get. Therefore, a gardener would most likely jump at the chance to sit on luxurious corner sofas placed amongst the gardenias, and lavender. The idea of sitting beneath swaying magnolia branches, and breathing in the fragrant blossoms is nothing short of dreamy.
Obviously, nobody is going to place luxury couches outside, nature lover or not. However, that brings me to my point. For those that do have conservatories, or rooms that open on to their garden it seems a shame not to strategically place those comfy sofas so that you can see your pride and joy. While plenty of people think they need to position their seats so that they meet the television head on, there is no rule that says it must be so.
Even if you are tuned into a gardening program or special on how famous gardeners of the past created garden layouts, you need not be angled so that you view is limited. If you do want to have it all, then angle your sofas so that they allow for you to take in both your actual garden and those being shown on television simultaneously.
Come to think of it, if you take a look back in history you will see that convention was thrown out the window back in 1845. At that time, conservatories had gone from being places to cultivate plants and conduct specialised gardening to places to socialise. Others have already bucked tradition, this is just turning the tide back in the original direction if you will. Bring the focus back where it belongs to the garden.
