Sunroom Design Idea

Nothing is better than lounging around in a beautiful sunroom during the hot summer months. You can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without the heat of summer when you have a sunroom. Many people overlook the fact that sunrooms need to be decorated along with the rest of their homes. This room is enclosed and uses glass walls and windows to take advantage of the available sunlight. Sunroom designs range from basic with a simple array of windows to a conservatory-like space that has glass ceilings and walls. Apart from the traditional outdoor furniture that usually fills these spaces, there are dozens of options to make it feel like a true extension of your home. Follow these simple tips to make your sunroom even more warm and inviting for your family.

Which design you choose will depend on what you intend to use it for, the size you want, and of course, your budget. Before choosing, do your research and learn about the different designs, and schedule a professional contractor appointment so they can give you advice on what would work in the space you have and your budget.
-First, choose a color scheme that doesn't distract from the beauty outside. A sunroom is not the place for yellow walls or dark colored rugs. Instead, go with a soft white or egg shell color for the walls. You should also paint the window frames in this same neutral shade to create a calming effect. If you want to incorporate darker colors such as ebony black or chocolate brown, use the furniture or linens to bring those colors into the room. If you paint the walls or frames a dark color, it will make the room feel smaller and it will take away from the beautiful view.
- Most of the prefabricated sunrooms are usually aluminum-framed glass additions with customizable options for the wall, size, and roof. One important thing to consider is the type of flooring you want in the room because most of these kits are meant to be built on an existing floor. You also need to factor in your design the necessity and availability of heat, plumbing, and power in the addition.
- Choose furniture that is comfortable and inviting. Decide on furniture based on what your family will enjoy most. Perhaps you would like to have leather couches in a crisp cream color. Maybe you would rather have glider rockers in your sunroom. Maybe you prefer the organic style of wicker with soft cushions. If you want to add a fun punch of style for the kids, think about using some bean bag chairs. Your furniture options are endless for a sun room. You can choose whatever you love as long as you stay within the light, neutral color scheme.

The more complex sunroom designs should be left to a professional contractor. When doing this it will allow more customization of materials and coordination between the wall, ceiling, and flooring elements. There are some complex designs that incorporate interesting features like fireplaces, built in hot tubs, or waterfalls. When using a professional contractor they will make sure that these extra features are installed efficiently and safely.
