Get Out Of The House

The wonders of nature are often best viewed while out hiking or rowing a kayak, but not everyone has the athletic ability or inclination to get out and enjoy nature from the top of a mountain trail or under the canopy of a hang glider. Even the sun’s hot rays and fresh air can be a nuisance for those with skin conditions or allergies to dust and pollen.

The solution is to add a sunroom or garden room. It will service as a fresh, clean space where you can enjoy the delights of an air-conditioner if you desire to escape the heat, while still providing a view of the garden and nature. Easy to situate in almost any spot, the sunroom can be prefabricated to suit your taste and designed to fit your property in size, and complement your home in color and style.

For the very young or for the elderly, the extra space can be a boon all year around. Sheltering not just from the hot sun, but also from rain or inclement weather while still enjoying the feel and view of the great outdoors. Armchairs can be added that offer maximum comfort, playroom space that de-clutters the home can add valuable living space without constant cleaning up toys to toy boxes. A sunroom also provides a private retreat after a long workday or a spot for a one-on-one conversation with a friend that stops by for a beverage. Of course you may just seek a quiet spot to work or use as a creative space to write or craft something special. Did you know that such iconic writers as Virginia Woolf wrote some her famous literary works in a shed studio environment?

And talking of parties and making your sunroom a special place that everyone will thoroughly enjoy, what kind of things can you do to highlight your garden space and make your event extra memorable?

Here are a few tips:

• Outdoor lighting can create great ambience and set the mood for any event. Trees floodlit from below have their beautiful structures highlighted and different color lighting can set the tone. An added bonus this type of lighting won’t annoy the neighbors. Use reds for vibrance, blues and greens for coolness and white for a simple brightness. LED lighting can be set to operate from an app on your computer, carnival cabochons and string lighting are all hot options.  Strong lights are a great way to connect your sunroom to the house or patio for spatial definition of the party space.

• The power of flowers cannot be underestimated. A garden view from your sunroom that offers a sensory note with textures and evening perfumes, colorful displays and a variety of textures of plant leaves and shapes can transform a blank exterior space into something the viewer from the sunroom will truly appreciate.

• Festoon the garden with homemade bunting. Material gathered and hung between tree branches, between house and summerhouse or garden house, can move air as they catch the breeze and add a true sense of party to the event.

A sunroom offers lots of ways for you to explore your creative side. Don’t be afraid to use the space for whatever needs you have and to enjoy switching things up as your lifestyle needs change. You might want to use the space for entertainment a few times a year, but in Spring it might make a great place to garden and potter. When friends and family come to visit it can be easily transformed into a welcoming comfy room that you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon. The flexibility the sunroom or garden shed studio offers for enjoyment is remarkable when you think about how affordable the building is and how quickly it can be installed and switched up for multiple purposes as life dictates.
