6. Outdoor Sunroom Decorating Ideas

In warmer climates, it’s not unusual to find an outdoor porch or patio that essentially functions as a sunroom. Also, many enclosed sunrooms have large glass windows and french doors that open to let in fresh air during the spring and summer.

Decorating a traditional sunroom is not much different than an outdoor one. You will need to think carefully about exposing your furniture and decor to the elements. If there’s any chance your items will get wet or dirty, it’s best to invest in outdoor-safe sunroom furniture.

Remember not to limit plant life to pots and containers. Utilize the natural space around your outdoor sunroom to plant perennial trees and bushes that will grow year after year. Add vertical greenery with trellises or a lattice ceiling covered in vines.

For a space that delights guests and makes day-to-day meals feel like a vacation, transform your sunroom into a dining room. This is an excellent way to utilize an enclosed porch or patio adjacent to your home’s kitchen.

Will your sunroom be a formal dining room and nothing else? Or will it act as a multi-purpose space depending on the occasion? To achieve the latter, choose a dining table and chairs that fold up for storage. Today’s home decor market is full of gorgeous folding furniture that rivals the quality of traditional pieces.

But if you feel determined to turn your sunroom into a full-time dining area, don’t let limited floor space hamper your dreams. While you might not have space for a large dining set, a breakfast nook might still fit. Install a bench along one wall for extra seating that’s also ultra-compact.
