Adding a sunroom to your home is a great idea that can benefit you and your family for years to come. A sunroom addition typically has a return on investment (ROI) of about 49%, according to Home Advisor. This means that the sunroom will increase your home's value by about half the cost of the sunroom installation. Not a bad payoff, right? Not only will the introduction of a sunroom bring you these financial benefits, but you'll also get to enjoy many other perks of sunroom ownership. However, it's important to take your time with a project of this size and scope. Before you call the quality sunroom builders at Exterior Designers Inc., you should make a few important decisions. Here are some of the recommended considerations to make before deciding on sunroom additions.

Location and Direction

What good is a sunroom that doesn't provide you with much sun? When making sunroom additions, you must carefully consider where the sunroom will fit in relation to the home. Next, you need to determine the direction your sunroom will face. This decision will depend on precisely how much sun you hope the sunroom to catch and what times of day you plan to utilize it. For example, if you'd prefer a sunroom that allows you to watch the sunset, you should opt for a west-facing room. Our experts can help you with the logistics!

Purpose of Room

The next important step in sunroom additions is determining the primary function of the room. If you simply want a decorative sitting room that gets minimal use, you'll have much less labor ahead of you. However, if you want a more functional, livable space, you'll have to consider furnishings, seating, and heating and cooling systems. Before you begin building, it's important to have a solid idea of what you want to get out of your sunroom.

Design Aesthetic

Once all the logistics are handled, here comes the fun part! You need to decorate your sunroom so it lives up to your vision. It's helpful to have a theme or color scheme in mind so you can decorate the space accordingly. It's much easier to shop and pick out furniture and decor when you have some guidelines to follow.
