If you want to enjoy the sun without getting burned or having to deal with insects, perhaps a sunroom is a good addition for your home. Not only can you use this room for quiet reflection, reading, or entertaining guests, but it also adds a lot of value to your home. People love sunrooms, and that love turns into curb appeal should you ever find yourself on the seller’s market. So here are some different sunroom ideas for your home.
”Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.” - Elvis Presley
The Sunroom Dining Room
Because why install a new sunroom if you’re not going to show it off to friends and family members? There are many dining room furniture options available for a sunroom. If you have sunroom plans that include lots of cooking and eating with the people you care about, maybe a few dining room features are right for your home. Basically all you need are a few tables and chairs, but feel free to decorate your sunroom in any way you want. Consider adding the following to your sunroom:
- Table
- Chairs
- Chandelier
- Counterspace
- Fireplace
- Talking piece
- Runners
- Candlesticks
- Mason jar decor
The Suspended Sofa
Miss the old days when you could swing on a swing and not feel weird? Then try out a suspended sofa to bring both comfort and nostalgia to your home. When it comes to sunroom ideas, furniture is one of the best ways to personalize your space. This can be done with most furniture pieces, or with a totally new custom piece. Enjoy swinging on a sofa and relaxing while watching the sunset. Or be cute and give your partner a gentle push.
Sunroom Garden
Do you have a green thumb? You can easily put it to use, year-round. Not only will you cultivate a botanical sanctuary, but you can grow your own herbs and food regardless of weather or season. Gardening aspirations are great for big or small sunroom ideas. Depending on what you want to grow and how much space you have, you could potentially save some money on your groceries bill. Try growing some of the following easy-to-maintain herbs and veggies.
- Mint
- Celery
- Avocados
- Parsley
- Chives
- Tomatoes
- Thyme
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Oregano
- Lettuce
Color Schemes and Themes
Of course, matching the furniture together can prove to be a difficult task with a great payoff. While the picture above is turquoise, imagine putting your own spin on things. You could go with a black and white checkered look, fire it up with some reds, or rely on the woodwork with a rustic tone. Whatever sunroom decorating ideas you might have, you can be sure to put something together that you’ll love.
Minimalist Approach
If the point is to sit back and relax, why go the extravagant route? Just put some decor and furniture that you like in there and call it a day. Add some color with a few plants, and then take a seat. Sunroom decorating ideas don’t have to be overly complicated. The real emphasis is on bonding with friends and family. Minimalist style makes the most of that.
Modern Porch/Patio
The comforts of modern everyday homes also should not be ignored. Do you have a sunroom with functional electrical access? Put in a hi-def flat screen TV. Get the most bang for your buck. Put in that heating system if there are long winter months. Imagine watching the snowfall with a fresh cup of hot chocolate. Sunroom ideas can be whatever you want them to be, so get creative!
