Adding a sunroom to your home can be an exciting renovation project that gives you more square footage to enjoy. While you might be eager to begin thinking about what furniture you'll buy for this new space and what decorations you'll put up, you should also give some thought to what color of paint you want on the walls. Sunroom walls can vary. Some are made entirely of glass, while others feature a small portion of wall that holds large windows. The right color of wall paint can add style to this new space. Here are some suitable sunroom colors to discuss with your painting contractor.

Yellow

A sunroom tends to be warm, given how much glass this space has, so it's typically a good idea to choose a warm paint color for the walls. There are lots of options, but a good choice is yellow. Yellow paint is available in all sorts of different shades. While some people might favor a bold, deep yellow, others may feel that a light yellow is a better choice. The lighter you go, the more spacious the sunroom will typically feel. This is especially something to consider if your sunroom is relatively small.

Orange

Another warm color that can work well in your sunroom is orange. Like yellow, you can buy orange paint in many different colors. Some oranges feature brown color notes, while others feature reddish hues. Orange is a very warm color that can make your new sunroom feel cozy. This color might be appealing to those who have a lot of deciduous trees on their property that are visible from the sunroom. In the fall, the leaves of these trees will turn orange, creating an orange environment inside and outside of the sunroom that many people will enjoy.

Tan

If you want the walls of your sunroom to have more of a neutral look, albeit one that is still fairly warm, tan can be a color to explore. Like certain shades of yellow, tan can be very light — which can help a small sunroom to feel spacious instead of cramped. Tan also works well with flooring. For example, if you favor vinyl plank flooring in this new part of your home, you can almost certainly choose a flooring type that has tan color notes in it. Tan is more neutral than yellow and orange, which can make it easy to find suitable furniture for the sunroom. Talk to your painter about these sunroom color ideas.
