STYLISH SUNROOMS

Use these perennial decor tips to create a versatile and relaxing space that can be enjoyed all year round

1. CHILL OUT

Temperature is the biggest challenge of a sun or garden room. Get it right and you'll have a space that is usable all year round, but get it wrong and you'll find yourself struggling whenever the thermometer edges to one extreme. Include plenty of windows and vents in your space to create a through-draught; some window options will open automatically when the temperature starts to rise. Blinds are another quick and easy way to control the heat. Don't be afraid to change your window treatments in response to the seasons-in winter, heavy velvet drapes will create a cosy environment, then switch these out for a lighter blind or curtains in summer.
