Need decoration ideas for above tv in sunroom
Comments (33)That's really a nice room. So much to love about it, including the windows we can't see on the other walls. I agree with colourhappy's point about negative space, and also with those who feel for other reasons that nothing is needed in the high spaces. The first and third photos posted by Rebeccamom123 illustrate keeping attention down in the levels people occupy. But those rooms benefit from a unified upper line defined by the architecture that you currently don't have. Rebeccamom123's middle photo shows wonderfully that that isn't the only way to a beautiful space, but this design is far more complex and required some talent. And I think yours also requires a little talent and training to make it look good. That TV placement may be necessary, but to me it creates a really significant visual problem. Since you're adding a mantle, etc., perhaps consider hiring a good designer to pull it all together? For instance, just because the TV support and lines come out at that point doesn't mean the TV itself couldn't be moved down (and sideways?) to a better position, adding architectural detail to disguise as needed. (Btw, strictly in the interest of feedback, one of those corner side walls looks big enough for your TV, or next size down, and I'd almost certainly have put it there. If it needs to be on the end wall to be seen from the dining and/or kitchen areas, and a TV in the kitchen's out of the question, of course that's the place.)...See MoreWe wish to have help with our Florida beach front sunroom ~10x20

Comments (9)Cozy? I would paint this room a deep green to make it cozy and the texture of the walls will lend itself to rustic. Bring the beauty of nature, which is the focus point, into the room. I would replace the ceiling light fixtures with matching small ceiling fans, recover the furniture pads to coordinate with the color of the walls, switch the seating so that the settee faces the windows, and between the rocker and the settee, I'd put a small end table with a reading lamp. An indoor/outdoor carpet would anchor that area. Some hanging plants in front of the windows would be a nice touch....See MoreTudor add-on help please! Simplest sunroom extension w/bath, w/d.
Comments (4)Thanks for your guidance, P, APO & Latifolia.. Apple Pie...Think I'll enclose part of my back deck instead! Photo of current tiny bathroom, entrance on left side of hallway is what I'm dealing with. Blocking off that hallway to extend for full bath would ruin the openness of my home and the only place to expand is beyond where the toilet is right now. Anyway...I will Never buy another home.
