Decorating ideas for Sunroom


I love my sunroom even though it is not insulated. At one time this space was a deck off the living room.  But the owner before me enclosed the deck by installing walls, windows, and a roof. It is a small space that is not insulated, but the enclosure is and the room has a view of the garden. 


 At one time I had a rattan love seat and a ficus tree but found that adding home decorations to this room made it cozier  Know that the sunroom is one of my favorite rooms in the house. But it was not always that way.  It took time to redecorate it as I had so many ideas and not all of them worked well with this space.


Here is a home setting that I created to inspire me to decorate the sunroom





plan to redecorate this space by changing the color of the walls to light gray with white enamel trim on the baseboards and window ledges. Then bought room darkening blackout shades or drapes from Walmart.com The shades or drapes need not be expensive, but they do have to be able to block the sun because this room gets the southern sun in the afternoon and it gets too hot.



The blackout window treatments will benefit this room by blocking the sun and they will also add insulation.


It's a good idea to create a focal area or feature in this space by adding a love seat in a neutral color; beige or tan. The sofa will be up against the side window. This will enable front and opposite window views of the garden.  Then throw pillows in blue will be added to the sofa.

Add cozy ambiance with assorted throw pillows to the sofa. For this room, I have selected the accent color blue. I shopped at zazzle.com and found pattern throw pillows and other blue wall accents, plus color-coordinating Mosaic print table runner for the coffee table.

Here is another decorating idea that I had for the sunroom.  




The floor covering has to be updated, right now it is a laminated peel and sticks tiles over the wood deck. I do not like it and would prefer a Berber carpet with padding because it will add insulation to the sunroom and the neutral color will be complementary. Of course, radiant heated floors would be nice also.

There is room for a few plants, I could hang a spider plant in the corner or add a potted palm tree. These plants would add ambiance to the sunroom and the palm would act as an air purifier.

I am satisfied with these decorating ideas because the sunroom will look larger and eye appealing. A room where one would go to relax and enjoy the view of wildlife in the garden.

Here are a few of the products used in the home decor sets and a few blue Hydrangea pillows that would work well with this blue color scheme sunroom.
