Comments (5)Our floors were open to ground also. We had foam sprayed in from the underside. In some places, where it was a tall enough crawl, we had pink stuff, foil covered foam installed under the floor joists, taped and touch in foamed along edges. We did get occasional leakage between boards, once peeled out, ya don't even notice....See Moresunroom turned dining room - what color????

Comments (13)are you changing the floors? you'll want to pick something first before the wall color. if you're keeping the floors as is, I'd try SW Jasper. If you change the floors to something light and bright, I'd paint the walls a soft black or very dark charcoal like BM Wrought Iron. It would look amazing w/the wood table. in any case, decide on the floor first, and any color furniture you want. if you choose a wood floor, or a lighter tile floor, then try one of these blues, with other wood accents, and soft white furniture...See Morewhat to do with narrow sunroom
Comments (9)Here are three options for a sunroom that measures 7' wide by 15 long, similar to yours. You can use 2-36" wide club chairs at one end, and have room for a desk/chair or a small table at the other end. Or you can go with the third option, with one chair and ottoman at one end and another at the other end (where the desk/chair is shown). Whether the chairs are next to each other depends on who will be using the room. If it is to be used for conversation, then chairs should be closer. If one or two people are simply reading, then having the chairs farther apart would work fine. As I said, I've done these variations in this sized room many times. Here are photos of my own sunroom, which is the same dimension as yours and has not one but two doorways! It is used for reading and overflow for my office:...See MoreBunny
