Laminate flooring in a sun-room
Comments (33)jane ny, I was in a similar situation last year. For me the sequence was paint first, then flooring, then baseboards, But it looks like you may have baseboards already installed. Painting first worked for me because I did it myself and there were spatters on the subloor before I was finished. You might want to check on whether your subfloor is indeed covered with plywood, because you may need an underlayment before installing your floor, depending on what you choose. Best to check where you buy the flooring. With some help from a friend who knew what he was doing and owns a Skill Saw, I installed a plywood underlayment in less than two hours. I too wanted tile with a slate or similar look, but the room was already over budget (long story) and I chose to spend my money on high end French doors because the floor could always be changed later. I got some advice from the flooring forum while deciding. You can always post a message there before you proceed. We narrowed floor choices down to either loose-laid sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles. My friend chose the tiles because the color and pattern seemed to fit well in the sunroom/porch. The original intention was to keep those tiles for about a year while I shop for tile and find a good tile installer. But the floor has held up well, despite some abuse like beach sand, rain coming in when some airhead (...See MoreShades for sunroom .... help please.
Comments (3)Hey There: Do I see it right that you don't have any window coverings for your sunroom yet? Please give it as much attention as you give to the rest of your design. Window coverings are very important for your sunroom to keep it cooler during summer, improve insulation during winter and of course give you the needed privacy... These bottom up top down operating blinds do nicely install inside mount to your sunroom and are perfect to adjust between privacy and light/temperature management.

Comments (4)We need a little more info but first IMO you need some sort of heat and light blocking so solar shades would be a nice choice and a floor plan with as much detail as possible like the measurements of all the spaces and doorways for sure . Is the sofa staying, is that a good indication of your style. Some pics of the other spaces in the home would be helpful...See MorePlease help: furniture layout for sunroom/mudroom
Comments (8)Sounds good. I would just suggest window seating plus seating in the center since the windows are far apart.Maybe long bench under the 8' window and chairs and table facing each other in the middle of the room. At the backyard door end of the bench (extending past window), it could be open shelves underneath for shoes or a lift up top for storage (or both). and hooks above for jackets. That leave the rest of the bench under the window but is one continuous unit. And also leaves the other windows open for viewing. On the walls against the stairs, you could add shelving or a bookcase or bar cart....See Moresuezbell
