We’ve all experienced it at some point – you’re in your living room, struggling through revision or watching television when suddenly you realize that it’s dark out. You’ve lost track of time! You need to get back to work so this leaves only one option: Get rid of the sunlight streaming through your window by closing your curtains! Or does it? Why not take advantage of all that natural light and use a sunroom instead? A sunroom is just what it sounds like; a room that takes advantage of natural sunlight without letting too much heat in. It’s perfect for people who work from home and need a place to relax and unwind.
A sunroom should be used as a living space, not just to house plants. That’s why it’s important that you only keep the sunroom if the height of the ceiling is no more than 1.2 meters (which is where most plants like to grow). If you’re worried about claustrophobia then don’t worry; this room won’t make you feel closed-in because there will be plenty of fresh air entering through your windows. And if you want to retain some sense of normality in your life, make sure that your window doesn’t look directly at any other houses or traffic – after all, we’ve all seen horror films and would rather avoid another incident like the Blair Witch Project.
You can decorate your sunroom in any way you like and it will be a nice escape from your main living area. You don’t need to buy any special sunroom furniture; simply set up some comfortable sofas, add in some plants and you’ve got yourself not only a nice place to rest but somewhere suitable for growing your own greenery! Not only that but having all that natural light inside will cut down on electricity use – why bother turning lights on when there’s already enough light coming through?
Sunrooms are also good for people who live alone because they’re cheaper than furnishing an extra room. Best of all, if you ever move house then you won’t have to dismantle your sunroom because you can just pack it up and take it with you.

What you need to consider when decorating a sunroom with plants
It’s all too easy to forget where the actual entrance is! Most people leave their house through the backdoor but this throws everything out of whack. The best thing to do is choose one door as an entrance and keep that door shut – if it needs painting then paint it red or any other bright color, that way it will be easy to find. You’ve got enough on your mind already – don’t make things more difficult for yourself by leaving your doors lying around like driftwood. Oh, another thing; also try not to block any windows because having lots of plants will mean that you need as much sunlight as possible.
Grow plants that will look good indoors
Finally, there’s the issue of what you should grow in your sunroom. There are lots of pretty flowers and shrubs available so it shouldn’t be too difficult to choose something appropriate. Think carefully before putting any roses or thorny bushes inside because they can scratch against your wallpaper. Instead, focus on houseplants which have pretty colors – ferns are a great choice because they have lovely fronds with interesting patterns on them! You could also go for something more glamorous like an orchid – I know someone who grew one inside and it looked amazing.
In terms of shrubs, you should always have a couple of those near the entrance to your sunroom because they look good from far away as well as up close. What about ferns? Well if you’re looking for something lush then you’ve got plenty of choices – I’ve seen everything from white ones to green ones in different patterns! And what’s more, all these plants will be easy to take care of so there’s no need to break the bank hiring a gardener!
How to make the most of your sunroom for studying and relaxing
A sunroom is a great place to unwind and catch up on reading, but how do you make sure it’s the perfect space for getting things done? If your room lacks natural light or warmth, doesn’t have a comfortable seating area, has too much clutter, etc., then it may not be as conducive to study as you might like. Here are some tips:
Organize the room so there is a designated area for work, reading, relaxation, etc. Consider asking family members or roommates to help you create these spaces by putting away their things so you can keep yours separate and tidy.
Hang vertical blinds to block out natural light if it isn’t needed or desired; this will also help decrease your heating costs during colder months.
Invest in a comfortable chair and/or sofa, and place it near a window so you can take advantage of the sunlight when there is enough of it. They will help increase oxygen levels too! And you’ll also feel more comfortable when using the room for studying or relaxing.
How to make an effective home office in your sunroom (with or without plant decoration)
Organize your work area efficiently
It can be difficult organizing a small space. If possible try to dedicate a corner or a cupboard specifically to the home office supplies you use frequently. Then stack items that are not in regular use away neatly. Working with an ergonomic chair and desk is also helpful while keeping files organized will make working easier. However there is no perfect formula, what works for one person may not necessarily do the same for another person. Be patient and keep experimenting until you find something that works well for you.
Organizing your workspace does not need to be difficult or expensive; it only takes patience and practice! Sunrooms are meant to provide a light and airy environment. Try to keep the sunroom as free from clutter as possible, but do not go for a room that’s too bare either. The choice is yours – try different layouts until you find one that works best for you.
Keep things organized
A good way to stay organized is to use clear containers where you can store your papers. This will help you sort through them and know where they are. A vertical file just for bills is extremely helpful as well since the papers won’t pile up on top of each other. You can also divide sections of filing cabinets with plastic dividers so that everything has its own section.

Working with an ergonomic chair and desk is recommended
The main thing to remember when sitting down at a computer all day is to make sure you don’t slouch while typing or resting on the keys. A good way to avoid this is by having someone else check your posture while you are typing, or be aware of how you are sitting without anyone looking over your shoulder. Also, make sure that the monitor
