Sun-rooms and screened porches
require a different
kind of decorating approach
By Jean Murphy

You love your back yard, but hate those
pesky mosquitoes and bees. You love the
sunshine, but hate the extreme heat on
summer afternoons. You enjoy entertaining
outdoors, but worry that the weather won’t
cooperate.
So this summer you joined the scores of
homeowners who are investing in glass and
screen rooms to increase their living space
and help them better enjoy their yards and
landscaping.
But now that you have this lovely space,
are you at a loss about how to decorate it?
Barrington Interior Designer Sharon
Prassel says she is being hired to design
more and more of these rooms as people
choose to spend time enjoying their home
with families and friends.
“I feel that when you are designing a
home there should be a flow between rooms
and, ideally, between indoors and outdoors,
too,” she says. “This is particularly true
when it comes to sun-rooms and screened
porches.”
