Sunrooms are a very popular decoration design in the North American market. Sunrooms are often used in garden designs. For example, people use sunrooms to design a swimming pool, and the sunroom can act as protection so that people won’t get wet even when it rains. Also, some sunrooms are used for camping and picnics, which can well avoid being soaked by rain on rainy days.
The Uses of Sunrooms
Sunrooms generally have a wide range of uses. For example, the design of sunrooms can be used in large high-end shopping malls. For instance, when white-collar workers on high floors drink coffee and talk about cooperation with others, they need to use large sunrooms made of glass. When the sun is too strong, it can block the sun, and on rainy days, it can keep out the rain, fulfilling the functions of shading and sheltering from the rain in the shopping mall. Another advantage of building a sunroom is that it has a low cost, good practicality, and strong light transmittance. If it is built with reinforced concrete, the cost will be high and it will be difficult to remove. Sunrooms are also used in back gardens. People can set up a small tea room in it for relatives, friends and family to chat and have heart-to-heart talks after meals and do other entertainment activities. Or when the sun is nice, people can boil tea in the sunroom.
Style Aspects
Modern Style
Simple Lines and Geometric Shapes: In North America, modern-style sunrooms are very popular. Use simple lines and geometric shapes to build the frame of the sunroom. For example, a flat roof combined with a straight aluminum alloy or steel frame can show a simple and elegant appearance. This design style meets North American consumers’ pursuit of simplicity and functionality. The simple and elegant lines make the whole appearance more beautiful and fashionable, making consumers like it more from the appearance.
Large-area Glass Application: Use large-area glass walls and roofs to increase indoor lighting and a sense of transparency. Frameless or narrow-framed glass designs can make the view more open, allowing users to better enjoy the outdoor scenery. For example, in coastal areas, the sunroom can let residents enjoy the sea view, and in suburbs, people can fully enjoy the courtyard and natural scenery. For any style you want, you can get the style you want through design. If your house is a seaside mansion, you can design a sunroom to have a great living experience.
Neutral Colors as the Main Tone: In terms of color selection, use neutral colors as the main tone, such as white, black, gray, etc. These colors can create a simple and elegant atmosphere and are easy to blend with the main building of the house and the surrounding environment. For example, a white frame combined with transparent glass gives a fresh and pure feeling. Neutral colors are quite popular because they are plain and have high adaptability.
Country Style
Wooden Structures Show Natural Texture: North America has a strong rural cultural atmosphere, so country-style sunrooms are quite marketable. Using wooden frame structures is the key to this style. For example, choose natural woods (like cedar, mahogany, etc.) to make beams, window frames and other parts, which can show a natural and warm texture. For shaping the style, for example, for a country style, we should try to be close to the colors of nature and use some wooden raw materials to build a style with rural characteristics.
Warm Tones and Vintage Decorations: In terms of color, use warm tones to create a warm atmosphere, such as beige, light brown, etc. You can add vintage decorative elements, like vintage-style lamps (chandeliers with iron and glass lampshades), curtains with flower patterns, to make the sunroom full of the flavor of rural life.
Combination with Natural Landscape Elements: Combine with the outdoor natural landscape. Plant various flowers and green plants around the sunroom, like roses, lavender, etc., and set up wooden flower racks, swings and other outdoor furniture to add rural and pastoral charm.
Function Aspects
Leisure and Entertainment Functions
Comfortable Seating Arrangement: North American consumers like to do leisure activities in sunrooms, so enough comfortable seats should be set up. You can choose large sofa combinations, match them with soft pillows and blankets, allowing people to read, chat or take a nap comfortably. For example, put a set of L-shaped sofas that can seat many people, and place a coffee table in the middle for putting drinks and snacks.
Integration of Entertainment Facilities: Consider integrating some entertainment facilities. For example, install a flat-screen TV for watching sports games, movies, etc.; set up a small sound system to play music and enhance the leisure atmosphere. For sunrooms with conditions, you can also equip them with billiard tables, small golf practice areas and other entertainment facilities to increase the variety of leisure and entertainment.
Catering Functions
Kitchen or Barbecue Area Setup: Setting up a simple kitchen area or barbecue area in the sunroom is very popular. It can include a small sink, cabinets and an induction cooker or microwave oven, which is convenient for making simple foods and drinks. If there is enough space, install a professional barbecue grill so that users can enjoy outdoor barbecue in the sunroom.
Dining Area Planning: Plan a proper dining area and put dining tables and chairs. The size of the dining table should be determined according to the size of the sunroom and the expected number of users. It can be a small square table for four people or a large long table that can accommodate a big family gathering.
