Majority of the sunrooms are made from glass but you can make your sunroom a lot more attractive by incorporating your own design and style. You can actually choose from the four different style of sunrooms - Straight, Cathedral, Curved and the Conservatory. And what good is a sunroom if you do not have sturdy and durable materials? For this, the style of your sunroom would prove to be futile if you settle for substandard products. If you want something that lasts a lifetime, then you need to invest on it. Going back to the sunroom design, it may differ depending on the purpose it may serve to your home. Sunrooms can be employed in numerous ways so you first need to determine its use to your home.

When it comes to styling and decorating the sunroom, the very first factor you need to work on is to choose the right color. In most cases, light colors work best for sunrooms. Aside from the beauty that light colors can give, there are still some advantages it can provide. Lighter colors provide enhanced energy efficiency. However, there are some homeowners who opt for more lively colors to their sunrooms. To solve this, you can add some organic and aquatic elements to make the room appear brighter and livelier.

The four different styles of sunroom are already mentioned in the early part of this article. Read on and discover their benefits and disadvantages so you can choose what style would best fit your sunroom. Straight sunrooms can serve as a patio enclosure. In this kind of sunroom style, you can usually find aluminum exteriors and interiors. The beams of the straight sunrooms are mostly made of wood. You can also choose from a wide array of aluminum sunrooms and block foundation sunroom which consist of solid or even glass roof and aluminum. The rooms can also be made of vinyl.

Next, the Curved style of sunroom consists of symmetrical lines that can endow your home with a more polished look and appeal. This kind of style provides multi coated glass to make sure that the room gets an enhanced energy efficiency and durability. The third style of a sunroom is known as the Cathedral. This usually offers sloping or vaulted roofs and broken panels with windows that have interlocked sashes. The market also offers different varieties of double or single sliding screened windows that offer a double locking system and a handle that is child-friendly. For the doors of your sunroom, you can choose from the sliding or the French doors that feature a multi locking system. These doors are offered in different colors so you have the freedom to choose on what will best match to your home.

And the last style of the sunroom is the Conservatory. This style usually has an array of glass pieces found on the roof that connects the central beam in order to filter light in all angles.

Now that you are already familiar with the different styles of the sunroom, the next thing that you need to focus is the quality of materials to be used and the overall cost in building the sunroom.
