Home » Designing Your Sunroom

The days are finally getting a little longer and that glorious sunshine is back. There is no better time than now to start thinking about that sunroom addition you have been contemplating. The opportunity to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the outdoor scenery all year round is too good to pass up.

As you begin to design your sunroom, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Benefits of a Sunroom

During the cold winter months, it is easy to fall into a slump. The sunshine is a limited commodity and your home may not offer enough windows to allow the sunlight in. Having a sunroom can alleviate those blues by bringing in natural light and giving the illusion of being outside year-round. Besides the emotional health benefits, adding a sunroom can add living space to your home, boosting resale value and increasing entertainment space. Finally, in many cases, adding a sunroom is less costly than any other type of major renovation project, and can be more versatile as well.

Finding Your Style

The first part of designing your sunroom is deciding what style best suits you, your existing home, and your lifestyle. Whether you want to mimic your current home style or go in a new and exciting direction, the design experts at Rusco are ready to make your ideas a reality. Having a designer sit down with you and discuss your preferences and tastes can make you even more confident in your decisions. Oftentimes, one of our consultants can show you new and different options that you end up loving.

Have Fun with the Details

Once you have an idea of where you are going with your design, it’s time for the details. You can begin to select types of windows, placement, and even doors. With a sunroom, it’s all about the natural light, and your attention to these details will give you a bright room you will enjoy for years to come.

Spring is the perfect time to begin your sunroom project. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can enjoy it.
