Start Building Your Dream Sunroom Today!
Get started on your dream sunroom today, just in time for spring! Take a look at these ten tips for construction design from Houzz.com:
No matter what the weather’s like in your part of the country, seasonal rooms and sunrooms can be a welcome and flexible addition to your home’s layout. Whether the sunshine is constant or only an occasional visitor, get inspired by one of these spaces to create your own sensational sunroom, full of natural light.
1. Use organic materials. Be one with nature in a sunroom composed from all natural elements. Pick out a variety of wood planks, bricks and stones of your choice from your local hardware store to adorn your oasis.
2. Add rays of color. Let this cheerful space reflect your vibrant personality. Bring some life to your room with bright paint on the ceiling and walls. Paint a two-tone room for added dimension and watch the natural light sparkle.
3. Put in window seating. For a functional and elegant look in your sunroom, install a banquette or place a long bench against the windows. A complementary dining table and chairs create the perfect space for guests to lounge and relax before, during and after a meal.
4. Create a sunny office. If you have a smaller sunroom, turn it into an inspiring workspace. Turn your desk to face the outdoors, and keep shelving and other organizational materials out of immediate view for a true indoor/outdoor feel.
5. Glass it in. Go all out with your sunroom and transform it into an all-glass space known as a solarium. It can be a large investment, but these breathlessly beautiful spaces allow you to get nice and toasty, basking in sunlight from every angle and in every season.
6. Double the space. Although it’s on the pricey side, if you can afford to install retractable doors and windows to your sunroom — do it. It’s a great way to expand the space visually and open it up with a push of your hand.
7. Don’t forget the ceiling. Reinvent the traditional notion of a seasonal room with extra-chic furnishings and a ceiling treatment everyone will stare at with admiration.
8. Set it up for entertaining. Arrange different conversational seating areas in your sunroom for year-round outdoor entertaining. Guests will gladly enjoy the view from every perspective and will never feel left out of the group.
9. Fashion a morning retreat. Drink a cup of your favorite coffee, catch up on current affairs or just bask in the sunshine — all steps away from your bed. Enhance your master suite with an extended sunroom for a mini-getaway in your pajamas.
10. Make the most of limited space. If you don’t have room for a full-size sunroom, create a cute faux version in front of a large window with a simple and comfortable seating area where you can sit back, unwind and indulge in the view.
