The sun creates passive solar energy to help keep this room warm and creates a great environment for extending the growing season and being a place to keep your houseplants happy.

There are many different options for adding a sunroom addition to your home, so you'll want to make sure you take time planning your project so you have the best results possible. To make sure that you remember to include all the little details in your desgin, we've gathered some of the best sunroom additions tips we could find.

Sunroom Addition

Consider a few things when planning your solarium or sunroom addition:

  • Because of the tropical climate of a sunroom or solarium, circulation for your sunroom addition is an important feature to consider.
  • Think about where you are building it. Building it on the north side of your home versus the south side may have consequences to the amount of glare you deal with.
  • Consider blinds that tuck away so they don't take away from the ambience of your sunroom but do give you the option to reduce the sun. Blinds won't take away from the passive solar heating effect of the room but will give you options for the amount of sun you want to take in.

Your new room can add character and value to your home and allow you a great place to house tropical plants and a fresh herb garden. Taking advantage of the power of the sun and creating a comfortable, multi-functional room will add to your enjoyment of your home. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to read, garden or a great space to entertain while enjoying the sun and avoiding insects, a sunroom addition is a great plan for your home.
