There\u2019s not a ton of wall real estate when it comes to selecting sunroom colors, so it\u2019s important that every surface works extra hard to achieve your dream home sunroom.<\/p>\n

Neutral paint colors are a wise choice when considering painting your sunroom to keep things bright and airy while embracing the natural light and beauty coming from outside.<\/p>\n

Natural light can really reveal a color\u2019s undertones, so it\u2019s important to test and learn how swatches look within your sunroom before starting your painting project.<\/p>\n

Sunrooms are gems. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have one, chances are it has become an interior joy for you to spend time in. A sunroom, sun parlor, sun lounge, sun porch, solarium\u2013\u2013whatever you want to call it\u2013\u2013is the perfect space for relaxing outdoors without actually being there. With windows galore, a\u00a0well-designed and painted sunroom\u00a0breathes life and energy into your interior.<\/p>\n

Natural light should always be considered when you\u2019re thinking through a paint color scheme, especially for your sunroom where light is abundant. All that natural light means that you\u2019ll have to be smart about selecting a paint color for your professional interior painting project. And depending on how large the windows you have, there may not be a ton of wall space to play with. You\u2019ll want to make every bit of it work hard in your space to create a beautiful finished product.<\/p>\n

The team at CertaPro Painters\u00ae<\/sup> of Palatine, IL can help fine-tune the best paint colors<\/a> for your sunroom and skillfully apply your chosen color, or colors, so all that light won\u2019t expose any painting imperfections that can result from a DIY job. Leave it to the experts to professionally paint\u00a0your sunroom into a space where you can curl up with a good book and an ice-cold glass of lemonade.<\/p>\n

Embrace Neutral Colors for Minimal Space<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s rare that you have a sunroom that is a large-sized interior space (we\u2019re extra jealous if you do!). For this reason, we typically suggest selecting a neutral painting color palette for spaces that may be size-challenged. The best color choice for sunrooms may be using all of the colors together at once: white!<\/p>\n

Sunrooms are an extension of the outside, so a light\u00a0and\u00a0peaceful atmosphere are what most people are looking to achieve through design. Using a shade of white for the walls, ceiling, and window trim works in a bright and sunny space. You can even carry it through to your furniture selection and curtains. An airy white curtain made of light fabric will let that beautiful sunlight\u00a0shine through and not distract from your views.<\/p>\n

White colors are some of Benjamin Moore\u2019s most popular interior paint colors. Take a look at\u00a0Simply White\u00a0(OC-117),\u00a0Cloud White\u00a0(OC-130),\u00a0Calm\u00a0(OC-22),\u00a0Swiss Coffee\u00a0(OC-45), and\u00a0Wind\u2019s Breath\u00a0(OC-24)\u00a0for some of\u00a0the\u00a0best white paint for a sunroom. Consider these your white starter pack.\u00a0They suit tranquil, serene environments and are endlessly versatile to build an interior palette with.\u00a0A white color can even reflect the colors of your trees and surrounding foliage as they change with each season.<\/p>\n

If you go all white for your color palette, you have the ability to introduce accent colors into room decor. Select some bright and colorful interior planters, pillows, or rugs. You can double down on neutrals for decor if you don\u2019t want to go bold and punchy for your accents. Introducing some soft hues throughout the rest of your room will keep the focus on what\u2019s on the other side of your windows.<\/p>\n

A white color selection for a sunroom also pairs well with natural elements like wood, bricks, and stones that you can incorporate into your space to bring some of the outside in. White will jive well with natural furniture choices like wood, bamboo, wicker, or teak. Those materials are smart choices for sunroom decor. They\u2019re a step up from patio furniture, but still make a room feel light and casual\u2013\u2013just as a sunroom should be.<\/p>\n

Another way to build a color palette around white is to introduce its opposite: black. Keep the walls and ceiling a white shade and select black for any window or door trim. It\u2019s a chic combo that plays well with a\u00a0minimalist style.<\/p>\n

Look to Benjamin Moore\u2019s\u00a0Black Magic\u00a0(SW 6911),\u00a0Inkwell\u00a0(SW 6992), and\u00a0Bohemian Black\u00a0(SW 6988) for inspiration. We love a black and white painting palette in a sunroom full of plants. Plants not only thrive in that sunroom sunshine but also bring in some deep greens to the palette that make this color scheme rich and moody. Introducing some inspiration from nature continues to blur that line between the interior and exterior of your home.<\/p>\n

Light and White Paint<\/h3>\n

White isn\u2019t always just white. This becomes especially apparent when natural light is introduced into the equation. A sunroom full of light will show your white\u2019s true colors or undertones. A white color swatch may look like pure white until you start comparing it to other whites. Next to each other, you\u2019ll notice how whites differ from one another\u2013\u2013you may notice a bit of green or a hint of red, for example. Those colors that reveal themselves are called undertones. Natural light has a big impact on the undertones that come out of a color.<\/p>\n

Cool white sunroom paint colors by Sherwin Williams like\u00a0Rhinestone\u00a0(SW 7656),\u00a0Spare White\u00a0(SW 6203), and\u00a0Site White\u00a0(SW 7070) are crisp and modern with blue, green, and violet undertones. Warm whites like\u00a0Antique White\u00a0(SW 6119),\u00a0Navajo White\u00a0(SW6126), and\u00a0Divine White (SW 6105) carry undertones of yellow and reds that create an inviting glow.<\/p>\n

The best advice we have when considering how the lighting of your sunroom may impact the paint color is to take your color swatches into the room itself. Tack it on the wall and visit it during different parts of the day to see how the light is changing the appearance of the color. The direction your room faces even plays a role in the different colors the sunlight can bring into your room. For example, morning sunlight tends to be warmer because it\u2019s lower on the horizon while midday sun at its hottest temperature can cast a more bluish light. The direction and duration of light changes the way colors will appear.<\/p>\n

For Those Craving Some More Color\u2026<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re one of those people that\u2019s never going to be a neutral-color-scheme kind of person, fear not. Introducing a bright painting color palette into your sunroom can be just as beautiful as the plants and flowers on the other side of the windows.<\/p>\n

Yellow is a popular color choice that plays off the room\u2019s namesake. Take a look at Benjamin\u00a0Moore\u2019s\u00a0Hawthorne Yellow\u00a0(HC-4) or a more saturated\u00a0Dorset Gold\u00a0(HC-8). A yellow hue is the way to go if you want to double down on the sunshine. If you\u2019re looking for a more earthy color palette, we love the pastels\u00a0Palladian Blue\u00a0(HC-144) and\u00a0Saybrook Sage\u00a0(HC-114). Those two work great together with a pastel pink-like\u00a0Proposal\u00a0(AF-260) to round out a soft, calming color palette. It\u2019s not too overpowering to distract from the beautiful views, but it\u2019s bright enough to add just enough personality to the space.<\/p>\n
