Add life to a sun-room with potted plants.
Treat a versatile four-seasons sun-room as a stylish extension of your home. Decorate it with the same loving care you would give any other room in your house. Enhance the sunny space with a color or decor scheme that matches your living room or give it its own flavor and style. Entertain your family and friends in the sun-room on warm summer evenings or use it as a relaxing reading room during the winter. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Paint the sun-room's wall a sun-drenched color. Choose a vibrant shade such as sunny yellow, turquoise, tropical coral or sky blue. If you are decorating with a theme, pick a coordinating paint hue; for instance, choose sea-green paint for an ocean-inspired space.
2. Provide plenty of comfortable seating options. Enhance the room with summer-inspired wicker or woven banana-leaf chairs. Pick a love seat and chair set featuring plush cushions. Decorate floral or palm-leaf-patterned cushions with solid color decorative pillows.
3. Decorate an empty sun-room corner with a charming bistro set. Choose a bistro set featuring a tall, round table and two seats for intimate dining. Pick a set featuring wrought-iron chairs and a natural stone table top for a rustic look. Buy a wood bistro set for a country-inspired style. Decorate the table with decorative place mats and a vase filled with fresh flowers.
4. Enhance the space with vintage pieces as a charming touch. Hang an antique bird cage filled with various-sized candles from the ceiling as a soft lighting option. Fill a vintage wheelbarrow with decorative items such as candles, plants or flowers. Hang delicate floral-patterned plates on the wall behind a couch or love seat.
5. Celebrate the sun-room's outdoor flavor with green plants. Fill terracotta plant pots with potted flowers and sweet-scented herbs. Wrap real or faux ivy vines around windows and doorways. Place tropical foliage in artistic hand-painted ceramic planters.
