Sunrooms: The Radiant Revolution in Home Design

We’re no strangers to the challenges of autumn and winter in the Pacific Northwest. Short days accompanied with the constant uncertainty of when the sun will grace us with its presence, these days can really test our spirits. That being said, there still is a beacon of hope on the horizon– the beautiful sunroom! We’ve noticed a lot of interest from our clients, eager to explore how delightful these additions can add warmth to their homes! Here are some notable ones that we look to for some inspiration!

Choosing the perfect location for your sunroom is a decision that goes beyond mere aesthetics. It is a choice that can significantly impact your day-to-day and overall functionality of the space. The position of your sunroom should have access to a large amount of natural light and beautiful views. Whether you desire a cozy morning retreat flooded with sun rays, a space to entertain guests, or a year-round oasis that seamlessly blends with the outside, where you place your sunroom is a decision that shapes your experience of the space.

This sunroom orchestrates a symphony of colors and furniture, crafting an experience for all to enjoy! The use of warm hues and lush plants combine well to cocoon the space in a cozy embrace. The vintage furniture gives the sunroom a personal touch, anchoring it even deeper within the home. Altogether, this sunroom emerges as a sanctuary, inviting you to unwind and escape the demands of the workday.

Plants are a great way to liven up any space and the sunroom is no exception! In fact, we can see a plethora of plants in many sunrooms! While these rooms serve to protect you from outside, bringing something “from the outside” such as plants is a nice way to transition from exterior to interior. Being mindful of the growing conditions of these plants ensures that they stick around with you for a while! Common house plants are a great way to vitalize sunrooms with a lot of them being low maintenance!

This sunroom plays with a lot of different elements to make it such a fun spot to be! The windows following the roof’s angle ensures that light from outside makes it to all corners of the room. Using a light color such as the baby pink brightens up the space in a unique way– color can add a lot! Contrasting with the darker beams used for doors and their frames, it designates its separation from the rest of the home.

Your sunroom can serve more than one purpose as well! Here, the sunroom serves as a crafting space. We have seen them also being used as kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms as well! Again, we see fun tiling and walls to add some personality to the home while it looks out to some beautiful views. 

 

Overall, sunrooms are such a fun space to have within the home! Whether they be a simple addition to transforming your living room or dining room into a unique space, these inspiration images have revealed the incredible potential of these spaces to go beyond the boundary between indoors and outdoors. From the views of Puget Sound to your beautiful garden, sunrooms offer inspiration for those seeking to brighten their lives with the touch of the outdoors, no matter the weather. So, as the rain taps gently on your windows, think about adding a sunroom to endure warmth and light year-round!
