Not to sound all fancy because my apartment isn’t big or luxurious, but I have a sunroom problem. I’m sure you’re thinking sunrooms are always charming home additions to any house or apartment, and at first, these spaces do promise a world of possibilities. This space could transform into a dining nook, a plant room, or even a sweet play area if you have little ones.,While sunrooms offer loads of options, they don’t always have the best boundaries or sense of separation from the rest of a home. Many builder layouts (mine included) fall into the trap of having the sunroom bleed into the main room it’s attached to, which results in awkward furniture configurations at best. That’s how my own sunroom looks: The sunroom couch faces the living room, but it feels empty and clumsy. If you’re struggling to separate your open sunroom or bonus space from the rest of your apartment or living room, here are some tips on how to define it without resorting to a wall of closed doors.,People love open floor plans because they make spaces feel large and airy, but separating such a roomy space into smaller zones can be clumsy and awkward. Interior designer Emma Beryl suggests creating two separate living spaces out of a larger one by using furnishings of varying heights. “A high-back sofa or console table can have the ability to break up your rooms visually,” she says. If you need more contrast, you can try adding taller furniture pieces in the living room and shorter ones in the sunroom to register a separation visually.,If you don’t want the contrast between the two spaces to be too jarring, you can use repeated motifs or similar design ideas in both rooms to tie them together. “We love blending spaces by using similar materials, such as rattan in a sunroom, and then pulling in rattan or earthy elements inside as well,” say designers Berkeley Minkhorst and Kelley Lentini, founders of House of Nomad. “Think a rattan light fixture or similar potted plants coming from the sunroom and transitioning into the living space.”,
