A sunroom provides a view unlike any other room in the home, as it lets in light and allows you to enjoy the breathtaking rays of morning sunrises, while also providing the end of the day serenity as you enjoy the beautiful sunsets in the evening.

Sunroom Design Tips:

Color

Making a sunroom an extension of your home is an important piece of selecting color for the room. Try adding pillows and accessories that tie in with the colors you already have in your home.

Furnishings

When it comes to sunrooms, designers are seeing a move toward furniture and accessories that look more like interior pieces. Sunrooms are great places to have comfortable seating upholstered in fabrics including outdoor velvets, chenille and leather.

Climate

Most people dont want to give up the use of their sunroom when spring and summer are over. Sunrooms make great places for TV rooms and reading nooks in the colder months. You can always bring in a portable electric fireplace or heater and some cozy decorative throws for added warmth.

Flooring

Flooring in sunrooms typically consists of concrete, brick, wood or tile. Area rugs add texture and help designate spaces within a large sunroom. Intricate floor designs, such as mosaic tile or brick patterns, are best left uncovered.

Plants

Many plants thrive in sunrooms. They naturally filter the air and truly bring the outdoors in. Popular plant picks for sunrooms include begonias and African violets, which are fairly low maintenance and produce colorful blooms year after year.
