These days, the term home no longer just refers to the indoors but also our outdoor living spaces. From the biggest estates down to the most modest homes, it seems that every homeowner is now finding ways to go outdoors and enjoy games, meals, visits and swims there. Moonlight, the open air as well as natural light simply enhance the living experience in each home.

But what if you don’t have to totally go outdoors, instead, you still stay indoors yet the room had an awesome view of the outdoors? Would you want that kind of setup?

Say hello to the sunroom. This is that pre-fab roof and wall system that is added to a home to offer an awesome view of the outdoors as well as an extra amount of living space.

Sunrooms are often used for relaxation, entertainment, as a TV room, a reading nook, and simply an area to enjoy the outdoors. The finishing touches used will add to the beauty of this extra living space.

Wicker furniture is often used in this space to create the best place of relaxation. Actual installation can be as short as 2-3 days depending on the size of the room that you would like. Additional time is required for an added deck.

Check if you would need a building permit or a zoning approval. If you want to enjoy the sunroom during summer, then you had better start moving now.

Sunroom Furniture: Basic Care

Anyone who invested in outdoor furnishing should know that it takes a lot of time, effort, even money to maintain such an asset. Properly caring for sunroom furniture means you have to know what it is made of in the first place.

If it is made of metal, then you also have to find out what sort of metal you will care for. If it’s wood, find out if it is untreated or varnished.

Wicker is a popular choice among homeowners because it is quite easy to maintain.

  • Be sure to clean your sunroom furniture regularly. Clean as needed or at least twice each year. Check also the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Prepare a furniture cover for your sunroom pieces when they are not in use (especially when you don’t use them for a few days).
  • Check what sort of chemical you are using and if it is compatible with the sunroom furniture piece that you own.
  • Begin only with the gentlest cleaning solution that you can find. When any of these don’t work, that’s the time that you search for a stronger solution. Again, never forget to check the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings so that you won’t cause damage to your sunroom piece.
  • More often than not, the gentlest solution is a mixture of ¼ cup of dish soap and a gallon of water.
  • The next best thing is an all-around cleaner.
  • Test the cleaning solution first on a concealed area.
  • Never use a power washer.
  • Only use a brush with soft bristles when dusting off loose dirt.
  • Use soft rags and lint-free towels in cleaning. If you really have to use sandpaper, then be sure to get the fine-grit type.
  • Always have an available supply of spray-type silicone lubricant. This is the best solution to use on glider parts, hinges, and umbrella mechanisms.
  • Always check these parts every six months.
  • Always flip the sunroom furniture so that you can check the undersides.
  • Remove any caps on your furniture so that water will not pool in them.
  • Treat wood furniture pieces. Find out if you need to use sealants in order to prolong the life of your sunroom furniture.

Creating the Dream Sunroom: A Sun-Drenched World of Fantasy

Everyone loves a great sunroom. This is that bright, inviting and open space that allows you to bask in natural light while securing that pesky bugs don’t disturb. The sunroom is one home addition that most homeowners would love to have. This dream world comes with heated flooring, the most comfortable furniture, casual décor, and beautiful windows and walls. This is one room that most homeowners love to frequent.

Sunroom is equated to leisurely living where every square footage offers relaxation and serenity. If you have been contemplating of adding a sunroom in your home, then think of any space that you are not using too often. Consider that this part of your home will be a sunny retreat so it has to be where the sun shines warmly during the day.

Consider these elements as you set up your lovely sunroom –

Comfy Seats

The best sunrooms often act as a second living room. It shouldn’t always have wicker chairs. You could also put upholstered seats there, plush throws, and colorful pillows. Even outdoor-indoor rugs and a table could be brought in there.

Be sure to install electrical outlets if you are going to use the sunroom as an alternative living room. Don’t forget the table lamps to light your evening reads.

Ambient Setting

A lot of sunrooms are built minus the heating or air conditioning systems. This does not mean that you have to suffer each time that you go there, after all, this should be a place for relaxation. It would be nice if you could install a ceiling fan in the middle of the room. This is great to use when the air gets too hot. As for chilly nights, see if you could have a fireplace installed, too.

Privacy Features

The sunroom can get really sunny so it is often installed with high-end doors and windows. These do not guarantee a hundred-percent privacy, though. Shades and curtains are the perfect solutions to such a scenario. They don’t just offer insulation, they can also effectively guard your privacy.

Multi-Function

A sunroom can also accommodate a dining area. Ideally, the seating arrangement should be done so that it could still give ample space for the dining table and a pair or more of chairs.

The sunroom can also be an added space if you have set up a large dinner date with friends or colleagues. The dining and living areas might not have ample space to accommodate all of your guests so you could also open the sunroom for them. Just have ample table space, lighting, and make sure that air circulation is great so that what you’d have is an unforgettable event.

During those days when you just want to laze around and relax, this zone could also serve as your entertainment area. Be sure to protect your sunroom from the harsh elements so that you could bring your stereos, TV and lamps in there. Family and friends are welcome to outdoor-focused activities during the night while the day could offer a maximized sunroom enjoyment when you can just read books or magazines.

Typical furniture that you could use for sunroom corners is a table and a chair.

The sunroom – not every home in the country has one. It is a place where a family can gather to bond. It can also be the perfect setting for bookworms who enjoy daytime readings.

If this unique room happens to be sitting in your home and you don’t know what to do, here are some sunroom decorating tips that will surely help –

Know Your Sunroom Decorating Needs

Again, there can be different purposes for the sunroom. If this is a place that comes next to your living room when it comes to places where the family bonds, then find a couch that accommodates everyone. If it is a place for reading, then a cozy chair right next to a lovely lamp would suffice. Cushioned dining chairs are not just perfect for dining but will also double as seating during moments of deep family conversations.

If you have a sunroom that is constantly flooded with sunlight during the day, then you have to consider what sort of furniture you will need. Find a comfortable sofa, leather chair and a wooden coffee table. Use earthy materials since the boundary between the indoors and the outdoors is, in essence, not seen.

There are sunrooms that come with various points of entry. If some of these entries are not used regularly, then use the space for a different activity zone. Most parts of the sunroom could be used as a second living room but with proper division, you can also set up a stylish place for outdoor eating.

If the sunroom is protected from the harsh elements, then you can already use indoor items like stereos, lamps and a flatscreen TV. Your friends and family members are sure to be drawn into your sunroom as you bring in units of entertainment such as your DVD player.

If you want to deviate from this contemporary setting, then you can always go traditional. Use the same vibe on the fixtures and finishes that has been used throughout your home. Classic furniture patterns and lines, even decorative accents such as a chandelier can do wonders.

Artwork for Sunroom Decorating

Eclectic design, say, a mixture of black and white, can be used to add a visually entertaining element. This mix can make gray walls or boring window treatments appear more exciting.

A sofa, or a paired table and chair could be the focal points in a sunroom but an interesting artwork can also offer this same level of beauty. Even the simple placement of your sunroom furniture pieces can be considered art.

If you have two entry ways in your sunroom, for instance, you can use one of them to hang artwork. Cushions can have interesting designs to make the sunroom more interesting. Use fabrics that tie together bright colors such as orange, yellow and turquoise. Consider adding a corner bench especially in smaller spaces. This bench can be outfitted with decorative pillows. A cabinet or two can be used for extra storage.

Add a decorative rug to this place and you’d be the talk of the town.

Sunroom Decorating When There’s a View

Most of the time, sunrooms are used for dining, reading and family fun moments. But what if you happen to be blessed with a sunroom that’s got a beautiful view? If you have this kind of sunroom, then it’s time to rethink of the setup that you have been planning.

Be sure to arrange the furniture pieces in a way that would allow the homeowners to bask in the sunlight. They must also have a limitless view of the interesting scenery outside. Since the beautiful outdoors will already serve as the artwork for this particular room, then all you would need are a few decorative pillows, a rug, or a simple statue. The key is to keep distractions to a bare minimum.
