Curb appeal is how the sunroom looks from the outside while driving down the street or walking down a trail. Incorporate some of the features, style and design from the structure that the sunroom will be attached to and a sunroom can make the entire structure more attractive. The more attractive the structure is the better the resale potential. Here are 15 design ideas to match the existing structure:
1.Match the roof pitch
2.Match the window frame color and window style
3.Match the exterior of the solid wall sections (siding, stucco, stone, brick, etc)
4.Match the corner trim with wood and paint.
5.Match the glass tint
6.Match the fascia with wood and paint
7.Instead of going with the sunroom manufacture's gutter match the gutters
8.If the sunroom has a solid roof and adequate slope, match the shingles
9.Match the Height of the base wall with the height of any bay windows or picture windows.
10.If the existing structure has 5' or 6' tall windows add the same height windows
11.Consider adding transoms if the existing structure has transoms
12.Consider adding grids if the existing structure has grids
13.Consider walking out level from your existing structure and match the foundation height
14.Add skirting to match if on a deck
15.Match the extrusion color with the trim color
If some of the above ideas are used when designing and building a sunroom to be attached to a home, the sunroom will look less like it was dropped from outer space and bolted to the house. It will add to the overall architectural features and become a subtle focal point. The more attractive the structure is the better the resale potential.
The ability to accomplish many of the design ideas will vary greatly among different sunroom companies.
If the sunroom addition is designed with a solid roof as opposed to glass, it will be easier to match the existing structure.
