 The Relaxing Nook

Curling up with a good book has never been so enjoyable - complete with outdoor views.

  The Dedicated Hobby Area

Whether you have a grand piano or not, a sunroom could be just what you need to really dive into whatever your favorite past time may be.

 The Quiet Play Room

A sunroom that acts as a playroom is the best of both worlds. Kids have a safe, separate area to play that's also fix for adults.

  The Formal Gathering Space

Spring time is ideal for gathering friends for tea and chatter... and a sunroom is the perfect spot for that!

  The Casual Entertaining Area

Sunrooms don't have to be super formal. They're a great space for entertaining large groups without the hassle of having too many people side the main rooms of your home.

  • Exposed beams on the ceiling will add architectural interest to the space, as well as a laid-back, cabin-like atmosphere. Wall-mounted lanterns add to the summer cabin ambiance.
  • A vaulted ceiling painted in a subtle yet vibrant color gives the space an airy feel and makes the space feel more personalized.
  • Layered rugs and a variety of patterns give this room an eclectic, quirky feel that is both welcoming and fun.
