Transform Your Living Room into a Gorgeous Sunroom

Posted on April 9, 2024 by | Comments Off on Transform Your Living Room into a Gorgeous Sunroom

For a lot less money than you might think, you could transform your living room into a sunroom to let the warmth in throughout the spring and summer months. With winter in full swing, there has never been a better time to plan for this kind of upgrade. From wicker furniture, to new windows, this guide will give you all the details you need to get started on building the sunroom of your dreams.

Let the Light In

The first step is probably the most fun. Get a sledgehammer and knock out some wall space for yourself. Begin by removing the siding on the exterior and interior, then inspect the studs to make sure they are in good condition. You can buy a sunroom kit, which can completely replace the existing studs, or you can do the replacement work for yourself.

Each panel is installed basically the same way one installs a window, but check your kit. You may have been supplied with the tools you need to get the job done. Begin in one corner and work around going clockwise.

Furnishings

Indoor wicker furniture makes for an excellent choice in furnishings. It’s lightweight, which makes it easy to move, and it provides an excellent place to lounge. Cushions on wicker furniture are meant to withstand the elements, but they are also made with a soft weave, which makes them comfortable to the touch.

A sectional is good for filling out space without taking up too much room. Combine with a coffee table, and you’ll have a wonderful sitting space to laze away the afternoon.

Deciding on a sofa shape

When you decide to change your living room furniture, think about what kind of sofa you want – and then work the other furniture around it. This makes sense as the sofa is usually the feature piece of furniture in a living room.

The most popular sofa shapes in recent years have been corner sofas or chaise sofas. These can give your living room a relaxed yet modern look and come in a huge range of colours, fabrics and sizes.

A chaise sofa has a back rest only at one end, so that you can really stretch your legs out. Most modern chaise sofas are actually corner sofas with a chaise section on one side.

Corner sofas can be great for making a room actually appear larger than it is as you can push them right back into the corner of a room. This gives you much more space for a big coffee table in front of the sofa, and if you get a storage unit that includes a space for the TV, you can have that against another wall, leaving room for the kids to play on the floor.

The kind of household you have will influence what kind of fabric or colour you choose for your sofa. Leather sofas make a great practical choice for people with young children – who are more likely to spill drinks or snacks while watching TV. Leather can easily be wiped clean, and any crumbs vacuumed off. However, you might want to steer clear of light colour fabrics as these do stain more easily, and once stained, can be ruined. If you do go for a lighter colour, make sure the fabric is treated with a stain proof treatment before it leaves the showroom.

Of course, your budget will also be a deciding factor on what furniture you choose to buy. There is a lot of cheap furniture around nowadays, and just because it’s reasonably priced, doesn’t mean it isn’t any good – there’s just a lot of competition amongst the retailers for your business.

Check out a sofas sale near you to get some idea of the different shapes and sizes of sofa available, and once you’ve decided on which one you’ll have you’ll be able to choose the rest of the furniture to go with it!
