You may have heard of a four-season room but are still wondering what one is. Is it a modern sunroom? A means to maximize natural light? Maybe they're like patio enclosures. Do they have a vaulted ceiling? Do they make for a good living space?
Well, the good news about four-season rooms is they are all of the above and more.
What makes a room a 4-season room?
These rooms are often designed to bring in ample sunlight and outdoor views all year round. They’re even equipped with full insulation.
They can be built as an upgrade to a standing structure already attached to the home, like an enclosed patio or deck, or as a home addition in full. For homes with full ductwork, HVAC support is often integrated.
For homes without full HVAC integration, other modes of climate control are either built-in or areas are left open to add them.
How do you decorate a 4-season sunroom?
Decorating a four-season room is much like decorating any other room in your home. However, since it's an addition or upgrade, it may be a good time to play with architecture as a design element.
These rooms are built with ample windows, making accents like window treatments easily assimilated into your overall design.
If you've built your room with vaulted ceilings and favor floor space, try hanging sleek furnishings and seating from the beams to give your new room a cozy glow.
These rooms can act as a family room or a cozy reading lounge. They can house plush throw pillows or double as a chic dining area for you and yours. Due to their versatility and sound nature, the possibilities can truly be endless.
About the Author
Hannah Sosinski
I started my career in the real estate industry at the age of sixteen and instantly fell in love.
I worked alongside one of the top producing agents in the country as their administrative assistant for nearly nine years before I took the leap to begin my own journey in the real estate industry.
Working alongside an agent who sells over three hundred houses a year educated me strongly on the Pittsburgh and greater Pittsburgh housing market. While working alongside this agent, I was lucky enough to be involved in several different types of real estate transactions and learned to properly determine home values, many aspects of negotiations and have learned how to close challenging deals while also handling a large amount of deals at the same time.
I have also spent the past seven years working as a property manager throughout Allegheny, Washington and Fayette County. I have managed everything from Section 8 to Luxury units.
Exploring the options of the real estate industry can be overwhelming. While working with me you’re able to sit back and relax as I have worked with many investors, home sellers and buyers and can help guide through the sale or purchase of your home and make it as easy on you as possible.
Whether you’re a first time home owner, downsizing, sizing up, looking to make your first/second or third investment, selling your home, etc. I can use my years of education to help guide you through the purchase or sale of the largest investment of your life.
I look forward to chatting about real estate with you!
