Furnish Your Sunroom

A sunroom is a place to bring the outdoors in.


The purpose of a sunroom is not only to bring the outdoors in, but also to allow natural sunlight to filter through the room. Furnish your sunroom just as you would an outdoor patio. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Select furniture that can withstand the constant heat and rays of the sun. Outdoor patio furniture works best because it is manufactured of materials that are capable of sustaining all weather conditions. Wrought iron, wicker or even aluminum is a great choice.


2. Add comfortable cushions and pillows to the furniture.


3. Keep the area open to invite guests to join the conversation.


Arrange the seating area so that you can have a conversation with your guests. Place a sofa against the wall with a table in front of it, and two or more chairs on the sides of the table.


4. Tile floors are easy to care for in a sunroom.


Keep the floor bare. Use tile or wood on the floor of a sunroom. It keeps the outdoor feeling and is easy to clean.


5. Paint the walls a light color to keep the room feeling bright and cheerful.


6. Window sheers still allow sunlight to filter into a room.


Add white window sheers to will give privacy when desired, and allow the natural sunlight to filter into the room.


7. Potted plants are ideal in a room that gets sun.


Bring in several potted plants to keep the outdoor feeling in your sunroom.


8. Make a place to have coffee and read the newspaper.


Place a small bistro table and two chairs in a corner of the room if space is available.
