Home » Design Considerations for Your Sunroom

The sunroom’s appeal is certainly tempting – enjoying the beauty of the outdoors from a cozy, temperature-controlled oasis. Investing in a sunroom is much more attainable than you might think for typical homeowners, and it just might be the perfect home renovation for you. It’s a project that feels like a splurge but is an investment that will complement your home’s current architecture as well as your family’s lifestyle. Excellent designs and materials create sunrooms that flow effortlessly with your current home.

Designing Your Perfect Sunroom

Once you’ve decided to add this luxurious element to your home, it’s time to design your perfect space. Consider gorgeous and unexpected tile in a bright color like teal, and create a coastal vibe. Try outdoor furniture like a beautiful wicker porch swing to enhance the feeling of being outside while inside. Go wild with plants and greenery, which will thrive in the extra sunshine. You can even try one of the most exciting new sunroom trends – a “living wall” full of plants that also serve as decor.

Unexpected Sunroom Uses

If your family enjoys the arts, consider creating a sunny studio. Bringing the outside in sparks joy and inspiration as you paint, draw, or sculpt. Consider creating a workout room in the sunroom, and give a whole new meaning to sun salutation. Working from home? Make your sunroom into an office; natural light can help increase productivity and boost your mood even on a long day at the computer. Create a playroom in the space; or just a simple, comfortable retreat for reading your next favorite novel.
