Having a private space that’s also a beautiful room is something many of us only dream about. But with a sunroom, you can make that dream a reality. The perfect place to relax, unwind and spend time with friends and family on any day of the year! That said, it’s now up to you how you visualize your new sunroom.Â
What colors will you choose for the walls, flooring and furniture? We all have our secret preferences when it comes to these things.Â
Some of us might prefer neutral colors like beige and gray, while others might want to go bold with red or blue as the dominant hue in their new sunroom. Some like patterns while others are drawn to geometrical shapes and designs.Â
There are also many ways in which you can incorporate color into your sunroom – through lighting (think yellow lamps during the evenings), artworks (perhaps something abstract) and decorative accessories such as throw pillows, curtains or even rugs.Â
So let’s explore some ideas on how you can use colors effectively in your new space:
Your color scheme is the overall combination of colors that you use in your sunroom. Some of us might have an idea of what our scheme is before we even start designing our sunroom, while others might choose the scheme as they go along. No matter how you choose your scheme, here are a few tips to help you make the right choices:
Choose two or three colors - While you can incorporate many colors in your sunroom, it’s best to keep your scheme to two or three colors – more than that and you risk creating a busy, disorganized look.
Colors should be connected - The best color schemes have colors that are connected in some way, be it through a common hue, tone or pattern. For example, you could use orange and yellow, and connect them with black.
Color meanings - If your sunroom will be used for hosting, you could choose colors that are associated with hospitality. On the other hand, if you want a relaxing and calming space, you could choose colors that are traditionally linked to peace and tranquility.
If you want a clean and minimalist look, light tones are the way to go. Beige and gray are the most popular choices when it comes to walls and floors, and they also work well when combined with white. Depending on the amount of light in the room, you can go for lighter or darker shades of these colors.
If you’re going for this look, keep your furniture and decorative accessories simple. Nothing should compete for attention with the walls. If you’re using beige or gray flooring, this should be kept simple too. Carpets can be used, but they shouldn’t be too colorful or bold.
To create a more inviting and warm feel, you could use throw pillows and throw blankets in brighter colors such as red, orange and yellow. If you want to go this route, make sure your throw blankets are washable so they can be cleaned regularly.
Dark colors create a luxurious and elegant look. While black might be the first thing that comes to mind, it’s better to use a brown or dark gray instead. You could also use a combination of all three colors for a sophisticated and striking effect.

Yellow can be too intense for some people. If you choose this color, be sure to choose a light shade. If you choose a dark yellow, it might feel too overwhelming.

Another option is to mix these colors together. For example, orange and blue make a teal color. Red, yellow, and blue make an orange color. These colors are simpler and easier to match together than orange and blue. If you choose to mix colors together, be sure to do it carefully.Â
If you mix red and yellow, the result will be orange. If you mix blue and yellow, the result will be green. You can also mix these colors with other colors to create a color scheme for your sunroom.

If you’re going with a single color, it could be used on the walls, flooring, furniture, rugs and decorative accessories. Alternatively, you could mix two or three colors. The key here is to be consistent and create a coherent look throughout the sunroom.
You could use a lot of different colors in your sunroom. But instead of choosing a combination of colors and mixing them throughout the room, you can use a single color in different tones. For example, you could use red in various shades. Or you could use yellow and use it in different tints.
If you’re going with a rainbow of colors, keep your furniture and decorative accessories simple. Nothing should compete for attention with the walls. You could use carpets, but they should be in neutral tones or very subtle.

Whatever color scheme you decide to go with, make sure it fits the mood you want to achieve. For example, if you want to create a calm and relaxing ambiance, you should avoid bold colors like orange and red. If you’re not sure what colors to use, you can always hire an interior designer for advice.Â
An experienced designer can help you choose colors that will work well together, and that suit your preferences and tastes. In addition, don’t forget that colors can also change throughout the year. For example, if you prefer warm tones like red and orange in the summer, you might have to switch to cooler tones like blue and green in the winter.
