Should I Add a Sunroom to My House?

A sunroom is a popular home addition option that blends the indoors and outdoors while adding space, function, and value to your home. Should you add a sunroom to your house? A sunroom may be the ideal upgrade for homeowners looking for a cost-effective way to extend their living space and enjoy the outdoors year-round. 

Why Add a Sunroom?

A sunroom is a home addition constructed of wall-to-wall windows, letting homeowners enjoy a space that maximizes natural light while protecting against heat, cold, harmful UV rays, wind, humidity, allergens, or mosquitoes. Sunrooms offer more living space, more natural light, and more days out of the year to enjoy the outdoors while still indoors. 

Should you add a sunroom to your house? Understanding the benefits may help you make that decision.

Sunroom Benefits

Bringing the Outside In

Sunrooms make the transition between the outside world and your home’s interior space seamless. Especially when compared to a traditional home addition, sunrooms are particularly effective at brightening your home by bringing in lots of sunshine and natural light — it’s called a sunroom for a reason! Window-walled sunrooms allow you to enjoy bright, light-soaked panoramic views of the outdoors and soak in the sun year-round, regardless of the temperature outside.

Versatility

Sunrooms may be designed to provide more sunlight, but sunrooms offer even more than a space to enjoy the sun. One of the best reasons to add a sunroom is the flexibility and versatility this kind of space can offer. Functionally, a sunroom provides virtually limitless versatility. It can serve as a second living room, an indoor garden or greenhouse, a playroom or mudroom, a home office, an art or music studio, a yoga or meditation space, a home gym, or a craft space. Whatever your family’s specific needs or uses for the space, a sunroom creates room to do it.

Higher Resale Value

The more functional square footage your home has, the higher its resale value. According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, a home’s resale value increases by 30 percent for every additional 1,000 square feet of space. Sunrooms are significantly less costly than traditional home additions of a similar size, which can increase the return on your investment.

Different Types of Sunrooms

Studio Sunrooms

Studio sunrooms are an affordable and popular way to build a sunroom that integrates easily and naturally with the types of single-story homes commonly found in the Ozarks. Studio sunrooms can provide a home addition that is bright, light, and relatively affordable without looking unnatural, out of place, or like an afterthought. 

Studio sunrooms can easily accommodate multi-level homes, too. 

Cathedral and Gable Sunrooms

Cathedral and gable sunrooms seamlessly integrate with your home’s unique architecture. They can be custom-configured to create a sunroom that matches your roof line and looks like it was designed as part of your home’s original blueprint. Low-roof cathedral and gable sunrooms are perfect for matching the roof line of single-story homes, while high-roof cathedral and gable sunrooms can be customized with no limit on height, width, or total size dimensions.

Sunroom Walls

Many homes in the Ozarks have existing decks or porches with a patio cover or screened walls. If your home has a roof enclosure, hiring a company that can build sunroom walls to work with and adapt to your existing roof system or convert a screen room to a sunroom can be a significant cost-saver.
