Sunrooms make for a gorgeous space to entertain or just relax with a cup of coffee each morning. The sunroom needs to make people feel like they are outside, yet still connected to the rest of the home. How it is decorated can have an impact on these impressions.
Before decorating, read these tips:
Painting
The paint choice or choices should consider the natural light that comes into the room. Whites and yellows are common in sunrooms for their cheeriness and how they work with the light. For those wanting something different, most bright colors work well.
Furniture
Make the sunroom flow into the rest of the house with furniture choices. Anything used should complement the style of the home. Popular materials for sunroom furniture are wicker, rattan, and other natural materials. Be sure to use fabrics that won’t fade as fast from the sunlight.
Window Treatments
Although the idea is to let in as much natural sunlight as possible, sometimes that isn’t ideal during extreme temperatures. Window treatments are still necessary in sunrooms. To blend in with the feeling of the room, opt for woven shades made with natural materials, wooden blinds or shutters, or roller shades. These window treatments will allow light to come in but offer the option to block it when needed. The right window treatments also help keep fabrics from fading as quickly.
