Sunroom wall paint?
This is the 12x12 sunroom being added off family room. There will be French doors (substituted for the sliding glass doors) to patio. I am recovering a love seat and peacock chair from the Philippines (wicker) in these fabrics. Love the beachy, nautical feel without being too obvious. Will have white plantation shutters. A palm leaf ceiling fan, antiqued bronze. Thoughts on paint theme?
Thank you!

joannr What color are the rest of the walls in your home painted? I would use a white shade. Lovely room!

Barbara Griffith Designs It is really a great room. I agree about the white..I would choose the off white in the fabric for the walls. I would also paint the ceiling the lightest blue in the flowers of the fabric. I lived in Charleston, SC for 20 years, and we often did a blue on ceilings in sunrooms, porches, and verandas. Add a great seagrass rug, and another accent color, a green or yellow, OK and maybe red. For window treatments, consider lined woven wood Roman shades. Please don't go over the top with sea shells, etc. Another great accent idea is framed nautical flags..it adds great color pops and a jumping off point to finding an accent color. A blue chambray on a chair would also look good.

Leona N Nadia...nice idea, light and airy. I might have privacy concerns until we put pool and fence up though...backyard corners to another backyard. Would hate for someone to watch us from out back.

Barbara Griffith Designs Shutters are great, see about wider slats, that way there are less hard lines...and on the door, you could do a fabric, simple panels, mounted very high and off the glass.

kobley If you get shutters you might want to consider the ones with the rod on the back. It's a nice clean look.
On your French doors there is a product that is a very thin pleated shade that you manually raise and lower. It attaches on each door and is hardly noticeable when raised. Wall colors...pale blue, cream, or white with blue ceiling. You could even do cream with pale blue ceiling then your woodwork would really stand out. Nice room!

Leona N Went to a home show yesterday and did see the shutters with the rod in back....I determined I like the "traditional" look of them in front. But I did see (and realize..thank you Barbara) the various slat sizes and what a difference that makes...as well as the moulding.
GREAT idea regarding the nautical flags. We sail, and it's a perfect idea and way to add color! You rock Barbara! ;)

marshadraskovich Beautiful room. I might consider covering the ceiling with breadboard and agree painting it a soft blue picked up from the fabric. Walls a soft off- white. What's the flooring going to be? White plantation shutters a must and agree with accents of red.

Leona N Flooring all hardwood on the first floor. Kitchen flows to breakfast area, flows to family room, into sunroom. French doors off breakfast area and another set of French doors off sunroom. They are about 90 degree angle to each other, and lead to outside. Considering a unifying patio to both doors....
