Sunrooms give you the chance to bask in natural light while you are inside your home, making gloomy autumn and winter days a lot more bearable. However, many people wonder how to transform their sunrooms into spaces that work for fall and winter weather. Here are three tips for enjoying your sunroom during the fall. 

How to Enjoy Your Sunroom in the Colder Season

1. Let the Light Pour In

Visible light contains ultra-violet light, which naturally warms the air. If you have blinds, curtains, or other window coverings in your sunroom, open them as wide as possible to let the light pour into the space and warm it naturally during the day. If you have indoor plants, you will need to keep them in the sun during the day in order to facilitate their growth during the colder season. 

2. Adjust Decor Accordingly 

Replace spring and summer decorations with autumn and winter decor to create a welcoming ambiance. For instance, switch out bright throw pillows with jewel-toned fabrics and hang white string lights on indoor plants or furniture to set a warm tone for the upcoming season. 

3. Add Heating

If your sunroom seems chilly during fall and winter, add supplemental heating, such as a space heater or a ductless HVAC unit. This additional heating makes it easy to adjust the temperature inside your space, protecting indoor plants and your personal experience. As an added bonus, it can be fun and interesting to watch a fall storm while you are sitting in a comfortable heated space.
