Today’s family looking for extra living space is much like likely to simply buy a larger house. Approaching a decade of economic uncertainly means that most people are wary about taking on larger mortgage repayments. This means that many people are looking to upgrade their current house. This offers a cheaper and simpler way to gain more living space. For many an attached solarium or sunroom is the ideal solution as it is a true multipurpose room.

Added Value
The first benefit is that by adding extra floor space you are increasing the size of your home. This will add value to it when you come to sell it. At some point you will need to move house and when that day comes you will be able to benefit from the money and time that you invest in your house how.

Multipurpose Room
Whether you choose a sunroom or a solarium you are adding a truly multi-purpose room. Many families add cosy breakfast nooks or a play area for their kids which gives them somewhere to play outside of the main part of the house. Other families actually use their sunroom as a bit of a greenhouse growing fruit in it all year round.

Space for a hot tub or Indoor Pool
Many larger solariums are built to house an indoor hot tub or pool. Much of the year in the UK and much of Northern Europe is too cold to enjoy swimming outdoors and so an indoor pool can be the perfect solution because the room can be climate controlled. Whether you seek just a small wading pool or a hot tub or an in-ground pool, a solarium can be designed to make the perfect enclosure. If you can’t envision exactly how the room would look or how it could be added to a pre-existing structure, you can ask your architect to use CAD software to show you the plans in 3-D. With the advances over the years in AutoCAD software specifically for architects you’ll get the next best thing to actually being able to walk through a model. The imagery on screen is amazing and the only thing missing would be the cool, clear water of your pool. If you are technically inclined you could also learn to use AutoCAD (useful AutoCAD article here) yourself and see how some of your own ideas might look.

Adding a sunroom doesn’t solve space problems for all families but it does often do the trick. It is truly a multipurpose room for all the family and will add value to your home. It will also allow you to enjoy the warmth of summer all year round.
