Pattern Play

Patterns are powerful—especially in a sunroom! The trick is to bring in green textiles through cushions, curtains, or area rugs, layering different motifs like stripes with botanicals. One of my clients, Marianne, was nervous about mixing florals and checks in her window seat, but once we played around with scale and color, her whole space became instantly more joyful and dynamic.

When working with patterns, I like to start with a “lead” print—something bold that draws the eye—and build from there. If you’re feeling adventurous, try these simple ways to incorporate patterned textiles:

  • Choose one dominant pattern and pair it with subtle, smaller-scale prints.
  • Layer in lots of solids to anchor the look and keep things grounded.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix! The secret is staying in the same color family.

Still worried about going too wild?

A little contrast can make your room sing.

How Green Is Too Green? The Secret’s in the Palette

Choosing a green color palette can elevate your sunroom from just “nice” to truly serene. Whether you love the soft whisper of sage or the depth of emerald, think about layering a few different shades for a rich, natural vibe. Don’t forget to add a neutral touch with woven baskets or clay pots for balance.

The right blend of greens feels fresh, never overwhelming.

Artful Magic!

If you want your sunroom to feel genuinely personal, seek out artwork that echoes the greens you’ve used elsewhere—think leafy watercolors or abstract prints with grassy undertones. I once worked with a family who had a stunning collection of their child’s nature paintings; we framed and grouped them gallery-style, turning their sunroom into a true celebration of their story.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” These words by Thomas Merton remind me to always encourage clients to pick pieces that spark a smile. Even a single statement piece can completely transform a sunny wall.

Let your art be the finishing touch that makes your sunroom uniquely yours.
