3-Stage Makeover: Cozy Sunroom

Sunroom was a misnomer for this window-wrapped space -- until our three-step makeover inspired a warm and bright forecast.

Stage 1: Drab Sunroom

This sunroom has plenty going for it: a long bank of south-facing windows, gorgeous wood floors, and period trim.

The coffee table's silhouette and scale work great with the love seats, but the dark finish is too formal for the space.
