Do you want to enjoy your outdoor view without being exposed to the elements?
Installing a sunroom in your home is an amazing way to enjoy natural sunlight and nature – all while being comfortably tucked inside.
But before you start picking out furniture and décor, there’s one important aspect you can’t forget: Flooring!
Let’s dig in!
Hardwood Floors: The Classic
When it comes to picking out flooring for your sunroom, hardwood is an excellent choice. Not only is it timeless, but it also adds warmth and character to any space.
Plus, the natural beauty of hardwood deepens the sunroom’s connection to the outdoors.
While darker hardwoods can fade over time when exposed to extended periods of sunlight, choosing a lighter colored wood will help resist fading. Luckily, there are many light-colored hardwood options available, from classy birch to trendy ash.
Laminate Flooring: The Challenger
If you’re looking to enhance your sunroom’s appeal at a great price, laminate flooring is a solid option.
The surface of this modern flooring material convincingly mirrors the look of hardwood, but without the price tag.
Additionally, it’s easy to clean and maintain, so you won’t have to worry about any potential staining, or wear and tear from everyday use.
And the best part? It’s easy to install, thanks to its DIY-friendly interlocking design.
Tile: The Rock Steady
Whether you choose stone, ceramic, or porcelain, tile flooring offers many advantages for your sunroom.
First and foremost, tile is waterproof, which makes it ideal for a space that is constantly exposed to sunlight and potentially moisture. It’s also fade-resistant, meaning you won’t have to worry about your flooring losing its vibrant color over time.
Plus, tile can handle fluctuations in temperature with ease, making it comfortable to walk on year-round. Though, if you’re worried about tile getting a tad too chilly in the winter months, simply add some cozy area rugs to warm things up a bit.
Carpet: The Dark Horse
When it comes to designing a sunroom, many people default to tile or hardwood flooring – and never consider the possibility of using carpet instead.
But the truth is, carpet flooring can be a fantastic choice for a sunroom, if you choose the right one.
A thick shag carpet may not be the best option, but a thin and sturdy carpet can add a level of sophistication and luxury that you may not find with other types of flooring.
Plus, carpet can help to keep your sunroom cozier during the colder months, making it feel more welcoming all year long.
