Whether you already have a sunroom, or you anticipate having one built in the near future, you have probably already thinking about ways you can design and you decorate your new sunny space. After all, there are many benefits of a sunroom and you want to use them to your full advantage. To help you get started here are some suggestions from other homeowners for how to enhance your sunroom's beauty and function.
- Make the most of the natural lighting and colors of nature. Keep the colors in your sunroom light and bright by choosing rugs and fabric with bold patterns, using candles and waterfalls, decorative jars and leafy plants that thrive in the sun.
- Rather than heavy furniture, consider using baskets, wicker, bamboo and other lightweight items for seating and storage.
- Functionality is key. If the sunroom will not be used during parts of the year, be sure that any items in the sunroom can be moved indoors without being in the way.
- Think about the windows-yes it is a sunroom, but you are not required to use a specific type of window. While some homeowners choose basic windows, there is nothing wrong with having some frames that are intricately designed stained glass or perhaps having decorative windowpanes at the top of the room with more basic ones below.
- The entrance way to your sunroom can make a difference in the overall look, and even functionality, of the sunroom. A basic screen door is easy to incorporate into any look, but if you are looking for a more elegant look, consider French doors as they work great and allow light in at angles.
