Blank Slate for this Sunroom
For those who like to design with a blank slate. The home is a newly renovated MCM design with modern features in gray/white. The sunroom will be used as the living room where I have to incorporate a TV and a formal dinner table for hosting. This room gets lots of light and I want to keep it fresh and airy. I’d like to maximize seating for entertaining. This room will be a blank slate (empty) once I get rid of current furnishings. The ceiling is sloped which is causing me heartache. I’d like this room to be inviting and casual but not sloppy - a less is more kind of design. The room is almost a perfect square at 16x18 with 6-8’ ceilings as the room has a slight slope in ceiling. My eye is naturally drawn to transitional/modern/boho style. Currently this room has no color theme.

Need Sunroom Help...Please
Comments (16)Thanks for all of your feedback it is making me feel more comfortable with the sofa. Which is big for me because I can never make a decision. I have been looking at this sofa forever too! Les, you made some good points & I will have to go to the store to see how much these pillows move around. I forgot I was also concerned that it came in 3 separate pieces & I'm afraid they would move as well. Jane thanks for posting the photo of your lovely sunroom. It is exactly the look that I am going for...a comfortable space with lots of plants, and I like the idea of the plant stand. I have been looking at Ikea & they have a lot of planters that I thought would go well in there. And yes, you did get a great find on Craigslist! oh & dd50 thanks for reminding me to lay out where the couch will be in the room. It is a much larger room than it looks in the photos but it does have a door in the center on either side & I want to make sure the traffic flow will be ok. Here is a photo from rms (rate my space) that I liked which led me to this couch. I think this is the lighter honey colored one though. ">...See MoreDecor Ideas for White sunroom
Comments (8)We had a white sunroom with white wicker. It was sterile and cold. So, two years ago, I had beadboard installed on the ceiling and painted the ceiling Haint Blue. Then I painted the wicker a turquoise/green (wanted a green used in the Caribbean but could not quite get that color). Here's the result of my small sun porch. These were taken in the summer when all my plants are outside on the terrace. They come into here for the winter - rather crowded but lovely and lush and green. And then there are all the amaryllis bulbs as well - at least one blooming form Christmas til Easter! They live in the antique wire plant stand and on the copper tray on the chest behind the child's rocker. It's one of my favorite rooms in my house - eat my yoghurt out there every single morning!...See MoreHELP!! Need Inspiration for Sunroom/Three Season Room in New England
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 MoreHelp us design newly renovated sunroom!
Comments (9)A couch may be too overwhelming and a love seat is not comfy for two for any length of time watching tv. Maybe consider really comfy chairs (see below) with ottomans placed on an angle facing tv. Add blue cushions and a rug, to work with outdoor furniture and a floor lamp for low lighting so space can feel cozy at night when watching tv Add small serving tables beside each chair for practical purposes. The bar cart on wall next to doorway so it provides more room for seating vs where you were going to place and just add tv above on the wall...See More

4 years agoI would get two sofas facing each other on either side of the TV, leaving the space under the window to the right where you currently have one of the sofas a free walkway to the back door (presumably to the patio/deck?). You can get a large coffee table that has small cube ottomans tucked under it for additional seating when you have a crowd.
If you like an eclectic/modern look, here are a few options for a lighter, fresher take with color and pattern.

4 years agoYou've certainly come a long way. It looks like this was an add on to the original home. I think to optimize your seating and divide the space into dining/lounging I would look for a smaller scaled (apt) sized clean lined sectional. Bring in the lounge seating to a tighter scale so that you provide a walk way behind it. Then you could get one to two chairs on the far end at windows and a dining table on the other end like so (excuse the very quick sketch)

I would look into dropping a chandelier over the table to further define the space. You could also do one over the lounge. Because your ceiling height is low you will of course have to be extremely cognizant of lighting size.
