Help with Mudroom/Sunroom Layout
Comments (7)Thank you all for the great thoughts! It really helps to hear others' opinions. I do agree that I need something to hold the plants. I've been dragging my feet on this because I didn't know how I wanted the rest of the room to look, so I wasn't sure what kind of stand to buy. I also like the idea of the indoor/outdoor rug. I think that will bring color into the space and keep the floor a bit warmer (tile gets cold here in New England!). This is a high traffic room (since it's where we enter the house, as well as where guests enter), so I want it to look put together. I am thinking a sitting room is the way to go. I may consider moving some of my current living room furniture there and buying something new for the living room itself. I need to figure out the paint for this room also. I am thinking of a sunny cream (something like BM Windham cream) or perhaps a blue-green shade akin to BM Palladian Blue (have this in the dining room and it looks nice with the dark wood molding). Any thoughts on this?...See MoreNew Home Construction (Budget Decisions 3rd Car garage vs SunRoom Bump
Comments (30)I go with the sunroom, too, and here's why. You can build a shed for cheap at some point, and until then you'll probably keep one car inthe driveway, and all the bikes and basketballs in the garage along with the yard and snow tools. The sunroom will make a great playroom while the little ones are little. I've seen that sunroom with nothing in it but a low-pile play rug and Lego. Or balls. Or plastic hockey sticks. Or those big Little Tykes (slide, trikes, trains) Or Hot Wheels. Or dollhouses. Or art projects (easy-to-clean tile floor). Usually just one or two of those. But a great playspace, near you but not, outdoors but not. After they are done with those types of toys, it can be dining space and added living space. You don't need the shed until Boy #1 gets a car. Oops, didn't mean to scare ya lol! Upstairs, I wonder if you can steal some space from the game room to make a reach-in closet for Bedroom 2, and use its walk-in closet to expand the bathroom. 5 boys will need more counterspace, more drawer storage, and (I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm usually a 1-sink gal) 2 sinks. Downstairs, consider eliminating the study closet and adding a shower to the powder room....See MoreOpen kitchen to sunroom or fam room? Layout help needed
Comments (2)Get a pro KD and contractor on your site. ASAP. and don't waste time seeking online opinion of which there will be a thousand. ..................and not all will even be feasible. The "layout that makes sense" is one you develop WITH the designer, not a cabinet seller. It is in consideration of all that is on your wish list, and also what is possible within the space. Possible is partly a budget function, load bearing wall function and other things as well. What makes the most sense, is to EXPLORE those possibilities with a pro, ON your site....See Moreneed help in design and colors for small sunroom.
Comments (5)I'd keep the trim the same color as what's in the rest of your home. For sure, I would not put the tv unit in the sunroom. You can upload a photo to the SW site and play around with colors....See MoreJamie Mileto
