10 of the Best Sunrooms to Brighten Your Day
Let’s switch gears from the cozy decorating of the holiday season to something light and bright. I found a wonderful collection of inspiring sunrooms to cheer your spirits despite whatever the winter weather might be doing outside. Each one is unique and beautiful.
A warm and textured red brick floor sets the stage for this beautiful sunroom dressed in gray wicker and white walls. Wooden ceiling beams match the rusticity of the floor, pulling the entire room together.

Cool blue bathes this cottage-style room, providing a coastal vibe that’s peaceful and calming. Curl up on the daybed to enjoy a good book – or even a nap.

Contrasting paint frames the windows in a traditional style sunroom with a painted floor. Pillows on the couch pick up colors in the gorgeous rug. Even puppy loves the room!

White sunrooms allow the sunlight to bounce around, creating the perfect place to grow plants. The whimsical light fixture is a fun touch!
So many things stand out in this beautiful sunroom (which is my favorite from today’s collection). I always love a blue bead board ceiling! The floor has a soft and pretty pattern (reminds me a little of my bathroom), and plantation shutters grace the mullioned windows. A bit of black adds a touch of sophistication.

Tea, anyone? This is the perfect space to enjoy afternoon tea with a few friends, or even by yourself. Live vines in this greenhouse still gathering space are the perfect remedy when you’re feeling a little blue.
A piano in the sunroom? ย Sure, why not? Picture this room in the evening with the pendant lights glowing, candles on the table – all while listening to someone tickle the ivories.
Even tiny sunrooms can be beautiful and enjoyable! Located in the city, it’s a great place to start the day with coffee, or spend time unwinding in the evening with a glass of wine.

Would you like a fireplace in your sunroom? ย It’d be pretty in winter, sitting in front of the fire and watching the snowflakes fall outside. But it’s also lovely all the other seasons of the year.
A traditionally styled space in soft colors is especially warm and inviting. This is my second favorite from today’s collection of cheery sunrooms. The wicker coach and spindle side chairs with cushions keep the furnishings light yet comfortable.
Do any of these sunrooms speak to your soul?
Boost to get you thru the winter – because we care.
force some bulbs
bring in MORE colorful plants or fresh flowers
make a banner for spring or other handwork project
get outside everyday if only for a few minutes
take a walk
give thanks, spring is coming
plan your garden
Remember the movie POLLYANNA? Hang some prisms in your windows with suction cups. On the days the sun does shine they will reflect on your walls. A real lifter!
Sweet ideas!
The Peterssen/Keller photo is my favorite.
Not sure that a sunroom is good for a piano–temperature swings can send it out of tune.
These are all fabulous.
Love seeing all these spaces. I wish some sunshine and warmth would come to Michigan soon. It seems like it’s been a long winter already to me.
It would be wonderful to have a sun room. Its cold here but at least the sun is shining.
Lovely spaces. I did convert the open space on the back of the house to a sun room. It is one of my favorite rooms and all of the main living areas open up to it. I don’t have the cold days like you do but it allows me to enjoy my back yard on the days that are to hot to go out.
Can’t pick a favorite! Thanks for all this!
Thanks so much! I needed this; today is the first day the sun has been seen in weeks it seems. We have record snow and cold in Idaho this year!!
So beautiful! Blue bead board ceiling is amazing. Thanks!
Woww..thanks so much to share this, seems like will be my favorite! Also, bead board ceiling is very beautiful
The last one is definitely my favorite. I can easily imagine spending lots of time in a room like that reading with my ever present cup of tea:-)
Hi Paula!ย I love the last one, too. I just started drinking green tea regularly this month so I could join you there!
This could not be more timely. We have a 3 season room with south and west exposures and on VERY sunny days and above freezing temps, with a portable heater… one can enjoy . I would love to begin my day with coffee out there. I also have been trying to figure out a space to play Mahjong jong……. so I think I can re-design this space !!
Hi Patti! I’m glad this post was useful. You’re lucky to have a three-season room!
I got a couple of ideas for our 3 season porch from these photos – thank you!
