Thu 24 2022 8 Things You Can Do with a Sunroom
Whether you’re thinking about adding a sunroom to your home or you have one that you’re not sure what to do with it, sunrooms can make a great addition to your home. Not only can they add value to your home, but they can give additional space and function too. But if you’re not sure what you want to do with your sunroom, here are eight great ideas to start with:
1. Turn Your Sunroom into a Home Office
With more people working from home, many are looking for a dedicated space in their home to turn into an office. Sunrooms are the perfect rooms to turn into a home office, especially since natural sunlight can help increase productivity by 5–40%.
2. Create a Cozy Reading Area
Consider installing a wraparound bench in your sunroom to help convert the space into a cozy corner for all sorts of things. Wraparound benches make the perfect reading corner or even area for afternoon naps in the sun.
3. Use Your Sunroom as an Additional Living Room
If your sunroom is large enough, turning it into an additional living room is a great idea. One of the top reasons to use your sunroom as a living room is all the natural light it can provide year-round. It also helps give your living room a touch of outdoor living, which creates a unique family room for your home.
4. Make Your Sunroom a Screened Porch
Another great use of a sunroom is to convert it into a screened-in porch. The screened-porch sunroom is especially great if your sunroom faces the backyard. You could create beautiful landscaping for the sunroom to overlook, which makes it a great place to entertain guests.
5. Turn Your Sunroom into a Dining Room
Whether your home doesn’t currently have a dining room or you want to repurpose your current dining room into something else, using your sunroom is a great option. Turning your sunroom into a dining room is not only practical but can give you more space for entertaining while increasing the functionality of your sunroom.
6. Create a Craft or Hobby Space in Your Sunroom
What better room of a house to provide the lighting you need for crafts and hobbies than a sunroom? If you have a hobby that takes up a lot of space and requires great lighting, try turning your sunroom into a cozy crafting space.
7. Use Your Sunroom as a Bar
If you currently use your sunroom as an area to entertain guests, installing a dedicated bar is an excellent investment. Having a bar in your sunroom will save you the hassle of going back and forth between your sunroom and kitchen to make and serve drinks. It also makes your sunroom the ultimate entertaining space for your home.
8. Make Your Sunroom into a Green Space
If you’re into gardening and enjoy having plants in your home, a sunroom is the perfect place to have plenty of potted and hanging plants. Not only will your plants be able to get plenty of sunlight in the sunroom throughout the day, but they can create a beautiful aesthetic for any cozy sitting room.
