Sunroom redecorating; wall colors and curtains?
I have a sunroom off of my living room that will need redecorating quite soon. One of the plaster walls needs repair, so to paint or paper that wall means that I'll have to do the whole room, and about time, too. The present paper has been there probably about 30 years. I would like to do florals (I love cabbage roses), but the living room has kind of olive green walls, and I'm not sure how that would look. I've tried to post this question twice before, and it just hangs, so this time I'm going to post just one photo instead of three and see if that makes a difference.

Comments (40)I'm so sorry I didn't see the last couple of questions! I don't receive emails when my threads are added to. The trim color is another Behr color called Spice Delight. We did use a shellac-based primer on the paneled walls before we painted - I think in total we did one coat of primer and two coats of paint. The walls look nice and smooth in person. Sorry for the delay!...See MoreDo you like this octagon rug for sunroom?
Comments (5)I am thinking BM Carob for the walls and black, bronze and shades of tan/creams accent pieces around the room and this lovely rug! You also could find a great piece of art for the wall that you just cannot live with out with all the colors and it can have some pops of other warm colors in it....See MoreHow to decorate sunroom?
Comments (12)Does it have heat, I see a space heater I think. It looks like the wall with the tv was maybe an exterior wall so it is probably structural so you should budget for that. I have a much smaller version of your two rooms and instead of opening it up I added doors to sometimes close it off but they are usually open. I decorated the two spaces to coordinate and put a different shape but same color sofa infront of the wall af Windows looking into my tv room but with kids mess often in the sun room I like to close it off sometimes. It also gives me a place to read while my kids watch annoying Disney shows in the living room. The doors look like pocket doors but are only 1920 doors hung on barn door hardware. The doors also let me close the cats out of the Christmas tree room when I am not watching them I did not have the budget to open up for it is an exterior wall....See MoreDen/sunroom windows and layout
Comments (8)I’d paint all the trim (and the shutters if you want to keep them) a white that is similar to the window sashes. The stained wood/glass doors can stay as is…stained doors surrounded by painted trim looks very nice! Your sun porch is a really nice feature…Here are some inspiration photos that might help guide you!

I would most likely repeat the colors of the living room, but in different values and "doses". The red accents in the living room, I'd bring onto the wall color as a barely there blush. It'll read as off white, but with a bit of a twist. It'll also reference your pink wing chair. The blue stripes of the sofas, I'd echo with a haint blue ceiling. For the window coverings, I'd opt for Roman shades with a subtle sage green trim as a wink to the wall color of your living room. And plants!
And the sofa would be absolutely dreamy upholstered in a bold cabbage rose fabric!
Here's an example:

Rather than cabbage roses, I think the sunroom would benefit from large scale botanical images to set a tropics mood for the birds.
The greens will nicely complement the terra cotta tiles.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoLove cabbage roses! Would upholster with them and then pick up color from the fabric for painted walls. You can get away with mixing different scale and color when you do florals as well. I'm not suggesting shabby chic as a theme, but just to show how easily florals can be mixed for interest.Time to go fabric shopping!
