There are only so many sunroom designs out there on the market. But the interior of your sunroom, that's where you can really let your creative juices shine and make a room that will be unlike any other.There are so many reasons why a sunroom makes the perfect addition to your home: from the comfort of an air-conditioned room you can enjoy your garden, the trees, and any birds and animals that come to visit your feeders. Sit idly and watch the clouds flit by in the sky. Stay up late at night and watch the stars, all in comfort. That is what a sunroom will do for you.
Interior Design
There are a finite style of sunrooms - based on what kind of roof they have: flat, vaulted, split-level, etc. However, there is an infinite way of designing the interior of your sunroom. That is where you can really let your creative juices flow.
Give a thought to what you'll be using your sunroom for. Do you have young children, who will want to use it as a playroom? Will you be entertaining rowdy guys who'll be playing poker and watching the game? Or it will be a simple retreat, where you go to escape the cares of the day?
Wicker is the typical kind of furniture for sunrooms, because it is so light and sturdy. You can get all kinds of furniture made of wicker: chairs, settees, tables, and even book cases. Whatever furniture you choose, it's a good idea to make the fabric of the cushions a light color. Soft shades pretty much go with anything, and they make the whole room seem lighter and brighter.
Wicker Warehouse (http://www.wickerwarehouse.com/) is a company that specializes in wicker furniture. They have everything you could possibly need from dining sets, serving carts, bars and bar stools, loveseats, chairs and ottomans, rocking chairs, chaise lounges, tables and even plant stands.
Other wicker furniture companies on the web include South Sea Rattan and Wicker Furniture (http://www.southsearattan.com) and Yesteryear Wicker (http://www.yesteryearwicker.com/)
But don't stop with the traditional wicker furniture sets, no matter how elegant. How about water fountains of various sizes, or perhaps even an aquarium? Balance those out with plenty of green plants to give a real outdoorsy feeling to the place.
If you're not sure how best to furnish your sunroom, you can always hire an interior decorator to help you. But perhaps the best thing to do is visit the websites of the many companies that offer sunrooms, and see how they furnish them. This is bound to give you ideas, and you can quite often order the furniture directly from that company. |
