Once your sun room has been built, conditioned, well-lit, and you’ve determined what the flooring and wall coverings will be, the final step is to choose your furniture. It’s wise to give furnishings some serious thought in the planning process so that the sun room is built properly and can accommodate the size and shape of your intended furniture.

Naturally, building a structure with a roof affects the natural sunlight that enters the room. But a sun room, by name, is meant to be well-lit. Even though roof construction will block some of the beauty and warmth of natural light, strategically spaced skylights can help replenish that natural light so you can still be close to the outdoors without being in the elements. And you won’t need to worry about window treatments on the ceiling!

Hoping to use this room to satisfy your longtime craving for a log cabin atmosphere? If you’re going for that natural look, opt for tongue and groove cedar paneling on the ceiling and walls. This type of material will give your room a rich, warm feel, while adding dimension and color in an understated way.

Once you’ve determined where and how your sun room will be built – discussed in Part 1 of this series – the next step is to decide how the room will be conditioned. It’s not an outdoor porch – so you’ll naturally want heat in the winter and cool air in the summer, just like the rest of your home.

When you think about adding a sun room to your home, you can practically feel the warmth of the sun streaming through a skylight, you can imagine the peace and beauty of having your morning coffee in a private space, you can envision yourself practicing yoga or reading a book or playing with your kids.
