For those who love to entertain, a sunroom is an oasis with endless possibilities. And if you have people over often, you can turn it into a space that all your friends and family will want to gather in. Here’s how to create the perfect spot for good times and lifelong memories.

Sunroom Ideas for Entertaining

1. Television

Hang your television from the ceiling, on a strong structural post, or put it on a stand. If your sunroom has a solid wall — or a section of solid wall — hang the television there. To prevent glare on the screen, add remote-controlled shades or easy-draw curtains.

2. Comfortable Seating

Choose your amount of seating based on the number of people you expect and your size. Arrange pieces facing each other, such as a couch opposite some armchairs, to encourage lively conversation.

3. Dining Table

A sunroom is a gorgeous setting for enjoying meals. Add a dining table to the space with plenty of seating for your family and friends. Consider getting a table with a leaf in it so you can add seats for larger parties.

4. Bar Area

A bar turns the average room into a party space. Install a full bar with a sink, countertop, and storage for liquor and glasses. Put this in a corner of the room to open up the rest of the space for guests. If you’re tight on space, a bar cart with a counter area can serve as a mini bar area.   

5. Climate Control

Heating and cooling will be essential when using your sunroom year-round and at all hours of the day. HVAC can be installed but is an involved project. A budget-friendly compromise is to install ceiling fans, which you can adjust based on whether you want to heat or cool the space. A fireplace in the room will heat it up on those cooler nights while adding ambiance.

When it’s set up properly, your sunroom will become the room in your home you spend the most time in.
