Design Ideas
The ever-popular sunroom, which has always had a place among the favorite rooms in the house, is now taking its place as one of the favorite rooms outside of the house.

For centuries, homes of all styles and sizes have often had sunrooms built into them. They have always been prized for their ability to bring us the best of the outdoors, while protecting us from the worst of it. Bright, airy, and cheerful, they always seem to give us a feeling of serenity and well-being. Sunrooms lend themselves to everything from quiet meditation to lively conversation.
 
However, as much charm and beauty as it has always offered when attached to the house, a sunroom, as a separate structure, can give you even more. In fact, when it’s set apart in the backyard, the natural surroundings give it more of a showcase, and make it more of a showplace. While it is still perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the view, a lovely sunroom also becomes a picturesque part of the view. Providing more privacy than any room in the house, it can be used as a guesthouse, cottage, home office, or anything else that you want it to be. Rectangular sunroom

Our sunrooms are versatile, beautiful, practical, and available with dozens of fantastic features. There are also hundreds of ways in which you can accessorize and decorate your sunroom to reflect your personal taste and style. When you get a sunroom from Fifthroom.com, you get started off right, because you are the one who will create and customize it, right on this site. That way, you’ll be sure to get the style, colors, and features that will suit you, accommodate the uses you have planned for it, and complement the décor that you have selected for it.

Using our Sunroom Designer, you will build your ideal sunroom, by selecting the size and material that you want, choosing from an exciting list of options, and then submitting it for a quote. You can create as many sunrooms as you like, save them to your own personal gallery, and change them as many times as you wish.

Among the features that you can get for your sunroom are skylights, combo decks for hot tubs, door blinds, flower boxes, partitions, cupolas, weatherproof ceiling fans, decorative and standard double doors, three sizes of sliding glass doors, insulated walls, roofs, floors, and much more.
 
Many people like their sunrooms to match the colors of their houses. If that is your plan, it should be easy to accomplish, because we offer several colors of vinyl siding, eight trim colors, and thirteen colors of asphalt shingles.

When furnishing your sunroom, remember that it is, well, a sunroom, and there’s going to be lots of – need we say it? – Sun in the room! Therefore, you should select furniture and fabrics that are fade-resistant. Your best bet is to use outdoor furniture, which is built to withstand the elements.
 
Since you undoubtedly have big plans for the décor of your sunroom, you may be thinking that using only outdoor and patio furniture will narrow your choices. Not so! With the incredible variety of patio and porch furniture that’s available today, your selections will be virtually limitless.

For an airy, summery look, wicker is a good choice; but, at Fifthroom.com, we offer synthetic wicker furniture that will be a spectacular choice. With the look of authentic wicker, these captivating dining tables, sofas, porch swings, chairs, loveseats, rockers, accent tables, and furniture groups, are nearly indestructible, and many are available with fade-resistant cushions in 21 patterns.
 
Aluminum, polywood, and vinyl outdoor furniture pieces are also eminently durable, and available in dozens of brilliant colors that will complement any décor. Wood furniture, such as cedar, pine, cherry, oak, or teak, will be stunning as well.

To protect any furniture from constant, direct sunlight, be sure to choose door blinds from our list of options. It’s also a good idea to put blinds or shades on the windows. Filtered blinds will let you adjust the amount of sunlight that you want to let in. If you prefer traditional curtains, make sure that their linings protect against UV rays, and the fabrics are fade-resistant.
 
Plants not only look great in sunrooms, but they also thrive in them, as long as they are taken care of properly. An assortment of colorful planters, planter trellises, and plant stands filled with cascading flowers will be breathtaking. You can also place a large tropical plant or tree in a tree box, and use it as a focal point.

As you are outfitting your sunroom from top to bottom, don’t forget about ceiling fans. The best ones are ornamental, durable, and approved for outdoor use. Many of these fans have lights with frosted globes on them, and operate at three speeds.
 
One of the most popular trends for sunrooms is installing hot tubs in them. Whether you’re entertaining a group of friends, having a romantic evening for two, or relaxing in the tub by yourself, there’s no better place than in your own private sunroom. The area surrounding the tub is also a great spot for your potted plants; they love the moisture, and will add a touch of extra privacy.

There’s no end to the ways in which you can use your sunroom, or the great ideas you can come up with for embellishing it. Furthermore, an everlasting sunroom from Fifthroom.com will give you countless years in which you can enjoy it.
