Sunroom Designs
By Ken Wilssens

A sunroom is composed mostly of glass so you can get the maximum exposure to the sun. If you properly plan this sunroom it can be as comfortable as any room in your home. The benefits of a sunroom are many, but the most important benefit is that it brings the outdoors inside without having to face the elements. You can fill this room with natural light, which will provide you with the best year-round views of nature. Take a look at the various sunroom designs available to find one that best suits your home.

Sunrooms don't always have to be attached to your home. You can build them as a garden gazebo but the ones that are attached to your home will give you the greatest pleasure. You can choose any room in your home and turn it into a sunroom, but if you do, your design has to be incorporated to make it suit your tastes. For example, if you want to take an extra bedroom that's not being used you can put skylights in the top and have glass for the outside walls, but most people design their sunroom's to be attached to their homes.

There are many things to be taken into account when designing a sunroom, such as you need to check for planning permission. It has to be built to your budget. You need to know construction material, you need to know glazing options for the windows and a good idea would be to place your furniture before you design a sunroom to have an idea of what size you will need. You should always try to match the color of your sunroom to the color of your home. Make the height of the floor the same as that in your home. If you have to add a dwarf wall, make sure is not too high so that it will restrict your view of the outside.
