How To Design a Sunroom For Your Needs

By ll_york | October 22, 2021

There are many benefits of having a sunroom in Kansas City, including increasing your home’s value, having space versatility, and sun exposure aiding your mental and physical health ☀️ As the weather begins to push us inside, now is the ideal time to design a sunroom so you can experience looking at the outdoors minus the bad weather. There are so many options for what to do with the extra space, it can be overwhelming! Luckily the sunroom builders at York have given us some tips on how to design a sunroom perfect for you:

Determine the purpose

The first step is to decide what you want to use the room for. Check out our recent blog on 5 ways to use a sunroom, including some of our favorites: workout room, movie room, dining room, home office, and green room. You can even use it as a spare bedroom or playroom as well! If you want to use it as a multi-purpose space, go for a more basic layout and you can install a pullout bed in the wall and have your workout gear on the other side! The possibilities are endless.

P.S. Did you know that plants THRIVE in sunrooms? Bringing in some of your favorite potted or hanging plants and setting up some floating shelves will make you feel even more connected to the outdoors.

Don’t overload the room

When you design a sunroom, remember that nature is the star. You want to walk into the room and recognize the beauty of being surrounded by the outdoors. This being said, don’t overwhelm the sunroom with decorations or block the windows!

Customize the space

Don’t get us wrong, decorating is a great way to customize the space while keeping the layout itself simple so you can maximize your ROI ???? If you’re not worried about that, then go ahead and design a sunroom with unique layouts! Here are some of our favorite sunroom layouts from Elle Decor.

Their crews are professional and knowledgeable. We plan to use York again in the near future to remodel our bathroom. It’s refreshing to work with someone who listens and understands your vision, builds upon it, and makes it a reality. Thank you York Companies… We love it!

“Rich & I were so happy with the entire process. We had owned pools at two previous houses, but this is our first fiberglass pool. We chose to work with Kevin York because of his professionalism & ability to work with our schedule. We interviewed four pool builders & decided on Kevin after our first meeting. We were particularly impressed that he had entered in to this business because he wanted a fiberglass pool in his own yard & wanted someone who specialized in this type of pool installation. From start to finish & with several contract changes requested by us, Kevin & his staff kept us informed & answered any questions that arose. We can’t wait to open our pool this spring & Charlotte will be the first one to get swimming lessons from me, Nana…though not the last as we are expecting two more new grandchildren late this summer. Thanks!”

Pools by York installed a fiberglass pool for one of our customer’s in Leawood. The installation and coordination was smooth and quick. There was no hold ups on the project except for the weather. The site was left clean when completed. Our customer said that Pools by York was easy to work with and the communication between the parties was very good. Thanks again for a job well done!

We decided to purchase a pool and so I went out to pool websites and put in inquiries. I got two phone calls out of the 6 inquiries I emailed. York responded immediately. The other contact took two weeks to respond. When York came to my house, he was wonderful with my dogs and my five million questions. The other company was uncomfortable with my dogs. I worked with both companies to get two quotes. The quotes were different but the key piece was that when I called York with questions they responded in 24 hours. When I decided to sign, he came out and he we signed that night. That was just the beginning of a wonderful relationship. The crew who installed the pool were amazingly kind to my children. Specifically my 13 year old who would watch them and ask them questions and they would stop and joke with him and then back to work. The biggest piece that shocked me was when York left – my yard looked wonderful – they did a tremendous job and there was a wonderful pool left behind.

Kevin and his crew were easy to work with and we were very happy with the end product. When doing outside construction, things will come up that were not expected, but Kevin was always reasonable and fair, which was a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend York if you want the job done right.

We wish to thank you for the work your company has performed on our residence in Lenexa. During our summer get -togethers, we’ve had guests with very discerning eyes pay compliments on the deck you constructed several years ago. Last summer’s carpentry work and paint job were done in a timely, economical, and professional manner. You have always provided us with good advice and fair quotes. Your workers have been respectful and on the ball. We hope to use your group for any future needed work. Here’s wishing that you have plenty of success in the coming seasons.

Ed & Maribeth

We installed a fiberglass pool at our home 7 years ago, and the pool has been virtually maintenance free. Meanwhile our friends who installed a gunite pool around the same time, have had their pool surface repaired 2 or 3 times. We are in the process of building a new home and we will be installing a fiberglass pool there as well! Thanks for your work!

We were pleased with the work completed by MY Contracting. They work showed craftsmanship, was done on time and met all of the conditions we agreed upon. We were impressed by the follow up as well. A small issue needed an adjustment after the project was completed and paid for; as soon as we contacted MY Contracting they came back and made the adjustment. You don’t always see that kind of commitment to quality and customer care. We would certainly use them again and have recommended them to our friends.
