Decorating Ideas for Your Northern Virginia Sunroom

Your Springfield, Leesburg, or Aldie home's sunroom can be anything you want it to be - an office, guest room, sitting room, office, or even exercise room. No matter the type of function your sunroom serves, your sunroom should be a true extension of your living space, as well as both functional and beautiful.

When deciding how to decorate and furnish your Northern Virginia sunroom, consider the following tips and ideas:

• Keep your sunroom light and airy by choosing a light neutral paint color.
• Bring in plenty of natural light through sheer curtains, woven blinds, or simple valances.
• Soften the hard lines of a sunroom floor with natural fiber rugs.
• Choose weather-resistant carpets and fabrics, such as bamboo and sisal, for those sunrooms that are partially exposed to the outdoors.
• Use rattan or wicker furniture if your sunroom's interior structure is made of wood for a natural look.
• Add aquatic elements, such as a water fountain or water wall, to bring a sense of the outdoors inside.
• Choose vintage cushions and pillows or wallpaper to give your sunroom a rustic country feel.
• Place your furniture so there is plenty of room to move about.
