While sunrooms are most popular in locales with mild winters, you should still take a proactive approach to winterization. That way, you can sit back and enjoy the season instead of rushing to prepare for the weather. If you’re hoping to get your sunroom ready this fall, use the following tips to your advantage.

3 Tips to Prepare Your Sunroom for Fall

1. Remove Summer Elements

To signal the transition of the seasons, start removing summer plants that won’t do well in the lower temperatures. Also, pack away the warm-weather decor, such as nautical centerpieces and striped, cabana-like curtains. Switch them out for seasonal items, such as pumpkins or poinsettias, and put up thicker window treatments for unusually cold days.

2. Clean Top to Bottom

Next, focus on practical maintenance concerns, like cleanliness. Dust the highest areas of the room, such as fan blades, pendant light fixtures, and sconces or wall art. Then use a glass cleaner and microfiber towel on the windows and dust the frames. Vacuum or wipe down furniture, and use a broom to clean the baseboards. Finish by sweeping and mopping the floors to pick up the dust and dirt that floated down from your previous cleaning tasks.

3. Make It Cozy

Once it’s clean, focus on making the room more comfortable for your family and guests in the coming months. Add cushions to wicker chairs and wood benches, and drape throw blankets over a few seats. Place candles in glass vases or lanterns, and use sprigs of holly or evergreen in place of your summer decor. Ensure there’s enough room between furniture to safely place a space heater, or consider installing an electric fireplace to complete your festive sunroom.
