Sunroom Design Ideas
Your sunroom can be a delightful place to spend time soaking up the sun and relaxing. This is especially true when you take the time to really consider what kinds of window treatments you use in the space. In a room that gets so much sunlight, the way you control that sunlight can dramatically influence how you use the room. Divine Interiors Group can help you choose solar shades near Sarasota, FL, and pair you with our incredible interior designers to create a room you’ll never want to leave!
Cover Up Your Sunroom
For sunroom window treatments, include solar shades. The hot, vibrant Florida weather means the UV rays are even more liable to fade and destroy your furniture, flooring, artwork, and other belongings. This UV light also brings with it additional heat, so even if your sunroom has air conditioning, you may be dealing with much more heat than you have to.
Solar shades reduce glare and provide a blockade against the heat so you can remain comfortable. Consider the following three options:
- Designer Solar Shades feature sustainable fabrics created using plastics recovered from the ocean. Select from sheer to room-darkening fabrics, which block between 86% and 99% of UV rays. Or add a second roller shade for privacy at night while still keeping your view during the day. Choose from over 130 fabric colors ranging from white to brilliant, bold colors and everything in between.
- Designer Banded Shades alternate between sheer and solid fabric strips, creating a zebra-like pattern. As they rotate, the fabric stripes alternate or overlap, giving you a view or privacy or somewhere in between. They’re available in over 90 colors, including various textures and patterns, which can add interest to your sunroom.
- Designer Roller Shades are available in more than 400 different fabrics, including a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures. You can select sheer to opaque fabrics or add a second roller to expand light control. These simple but beautiful shades are the perfect choice if you are looking for a subtle, tasteful addition to your sunroom’s décor.
Include Greenery
Plants add lovely, natural color to your sunroom. Many people also find the touch of nature relaxing. Plus, since they’ll get plenty of light and a steady temperature, you can include plants that wouldn’t thrive indoors or outside. You could even create a small container garden with herbs and vegetables. Consider adding:
- Hibiscus plants
- Begonias
- Spider plants
Bring Out Some Furniture
The sunroom’s interior design should reflect how you want to use your sunroom. If you’re using it to relax, consider adding a few tables, rocking chairs, and comfortable wicker furniture with paddings. You can even include a hanging swing!
If it’s doubling as an office space, darken your sunroom window treatments to reduce glare and add a desk, a chair, or a space to keep a lap desk.
If you plan to visit with guests in your sunroom, consider adding a shelf with glasses and a mini fridge to store beverages.
Add Color with Décor
Incorporate comfortable rugs, glasses, lamps, colorful vases, and artwork to bring color and design into your sunroom. Again, think through how you want to use the space and ensure it functions as you want it to. Look for comfortable pillows, baskets for books, and tables.
Anytime you see something you might like, consider whether it will enhance the design:
- If it matches your existing colors and patterns
- How you’ll use it
- If it might fit in another area better
