This sunroom has an intimate boudoir feeling.
Sunrooms offer you a soothing chance to enjoy a little bit of nature in the comfort of your home. Most sunrooms have walls of glass or windows that let the outside in and help you connect with the outdoors. Decorating ideas for a sunroom are only limited by your imagination and your personal taste. The only design standard is that it be comfortable and enjoyable for you and your friends or family. Does this Spark an idea?
Spanish
When creating a design plan for your sunroom, consider the design of the rest of your home. If you want a soothing refuge, you may wish to decorate the sunroom in a similar style. However, if you are looking for an interesting retreat, you may wish to decorate using a different and unexpected décor.
If you prefer a traditional decorating scheme, think about using a Spanish style with tile floors and terra cotta accents. Use rough hewn furniture pieces that give a casual, informal look and feel. Using handmade art adds to the rugged atmosphere. Sun-drenched accent colors or a contrastingly painted wall completes this natural look. Throw a few bright rugs on the floor and it's done.
Wicker
The wicker and plants approach also works well in a sunroom. While this is a time-honored decorating approach, it succeeds because it appeals to many with its comfortable décor. Chose a wicker furniture group that includes chairs, end tables and a couch or loveseat to allow for flexibility. Deep cushions make relaxing in the sunroom very appealing. If your taste runs to the playful, consider creating a jungle theme by adding tropical plants and using bold patterns in your accent pieces. For example, a faux zebra rug on the floor would add to the wild ambience.
A more traditional wicker look can be achieved by using fabrics like chintz fabric in floral patterns to evoke an English garden look and feel. Because changing the accent pieces and fabrics is relatively inexpensive, you may wish to consider a new theme for every season while keeping the wicker furniture in place. Flowering plants like violets and trailing ivy vines would complete this look.
Arabian Nights
Perhaps you are looking for something unusual. If so, then decorate your sunroom in an Arabian Nights theme. By using sheer curtains that drape from the ceiling, you can create an intimate boudoir effect. Arrange some large throw pillows on the floor and keep the furniture sparse. Add some Turkish brass or copper accents like a coffee urn or vase. Consider using Ottoman mosaic tiles as art on the walls for an added touch of atmosphere.
