A sunroom addition can give you a bright place to drink your morning coffee, entertain friends, enjoy the outdoors without dealing with the weather, or simply create more room for your family to spread out. But before you start choosing windows, flooring, or furniture, there is a bigger decision to make: where should it go?
The best place to build a sunroom depends on your home’s existing layout, the direction it faces, and what is already happening outside that part of your house.
Choosing the right location can make designing a sunroom look like a natural extension of your home rather than a room that was added later.
Read on to learn more about how to decide where to add a sunroom to your home and who can build it!
When you design a sunroom, start with your existing home instead of the new room itself.
For many homes, the rear of the house is the first place to investigate because backyards usually provide the greatest amount of buildable space. But when building a sunroom, it can also extend from the side of a house, fill an unused corner, replace or incorporate an existing deck or patio, or occupy another section of the property that provides a better connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
As a whole home remodeler, we will typically consider several factors before recommending a location.
Our role is to help you understand which locations are practical for designing a sunroom, what tradeoffs come with each one, and what options are worth exploring further. From there, you can compare your best choices before deciding where to build your sunroom!
The direction your sunroom faces also can affect the amount of direct sunlight it receives, when that sunlight enters the room, and how warm the space may become during different seasons.

A sunroom affects several parts of your home at once. You are adding square footage while also changing your exterior, floor plan, windows, doors, roofline, and connection to the backyard.
Working with an experienced home remodeling company allows you to look at all those decisions together.
At Choice Home Remodeling, we can help you design a sunroom that looks like it was always a special part of your house. Rather than starting with a predetermined room and figuring out where to put it, we can help determine the location, layout, materials, and features that make sense for your project. You can even visit our showroom in New Holland, PA to see a real example of our work!
