sunroom

A feature best limited to cooler regions of Australia, this sun-soaked zone is big on glazing, and a warm and versatile add-on. To prevent it becoming a hothouse during the warmer months, good insulation is essential. Layer the room with soft textiles and textures to create a comfortable space to unwind, entertain or dine. “Wicker, rattan and linen are great combinations to create a relaxed vibe,” says Fiona ParryJones. “Sunrooms are about having a snug, sunny spot to read, relax and entertain in – don’t make it too formal.” Add in lots of plants to emulate the vibe of a greenhouse and window coverings that still let in light, but be wary of overcrowding the space.
