Bring the outdoors in and enjoy the natural light with a beautiful sunroom. With so many sunroom ideas and styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decorate your space. In this article, we share a few ways to transform this corner into an oasis that you can enjoy across the seasons.
COZY FAMILY ROOM
FEATURED: VIOLA FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
A sunroom can double as a second family room with comfortable seats, PILLOWS, AND THROWS. And because they’re enclosed by screened or glass windows, they offer a lovely view while keeping cozy indoors. For a chic look, experiment with different textures in neutral tones or go bold with vibrant hues that are in season.
ELEGANT DINING AREA
FEATURED: FRENCH MARKET FLORAL FOLIAGE
You can also turn your sunroom into an elegant dining room. Install transom windows or French doors to regulate the temperature in the room. Keeping them open also allows you to incorporate the beauty of the surrounding garden, creating a relaxing ambiance for shared meals.
VIBRANT HOME OFFICE
FEATURED: CHERRY BLOSSOM FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
For people who work remotely, you can transform your seasonal room into a functioning home office. Not only do the colors of ARTIFICIAL FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS keep your mind active, but they can also help you focus on the task at hand. Make sure to keep the furnishings minimal to avoid getting distracted while working.
INDOOR GARDEN
FEATURED: OUTDOOR BOXWOOD TOPIARY
Mix indoor and outdoor elements to create a unique sunroom garden. Place boxwood topiaries to help regulate the temperature inside the room while purifying the air. You can also set artificial blooms next to real plants to make them look more lifelike and add visual interest to your design.

MAKE IT BRIGHT AND AIRY

USE COMFORTABLE SEATING
