You already know the benefits of living in a park model trailer. The small square footage is easy to maintain, quick to clean and efficient to heat or cool throughout the year. However, there can be times when you yearn for just a little more space, which is when a park model sunroom can be a game changer.
Why Choose a Sunroom
Adding a traditional home extension can be expensive and overly complicated for a park model trailer set up. On the other hand, a sunroom can be built quickly and easily on top of your existing deck or patio, allowing you to get a sizeable increase in your home’s footprint on a budget.
A sunroom is the ideal park model add-on because it has lots of glass windows that will naturally light and heat your home. The glass windows typically face out on three sides of the sunroom so you’ll get lots of natural sunlight no matter what time of day you sit out in your sunroom. Sunroom windows are usually double glazed which means that they insulate your sunroom throughout the day, keeping it naturally warm into the evening hours. During the heat of the day, you can also heat the rest of your park model simply by opening the door to your sunroom and allowing the sun to do the rest.
Creating A Summer Sanctuary
With the big glass windows, summer will quickly become your favourite season to spend in your new trailer sunroom. To create a true summer sanctuary, try some of these tips.
Add Greenery
Potted plants make a great addition to any room, but you’ll find that your more exotic green babies thrive in the high levels of sunlight and heat that your sunroom generates. Aim for a mixture of floor based pots and ones that hang from hooks above your windows to merge the indoors and outdoors without having to get up from your seat.
Add Seating
Even if it’s just the two of you in the park model, your sunroom benefits from a variety of seating options, all of which should be facing the big windows to get the best of the view. A classic look would have a wicker couch and some armchairs creating an indoor/outdoor vibe, while those with a more eclectic taste might pick up second chairs and recliners to create a vintage feel as you’re relaxing in the sunshine.
Add Softness
While you’ll probably spend a lot of your summer days hanging out in your new park model sunroom, you’ll find that the windows trap a lot of heat. This keeps the room warm well into the evening, making it the perfect place to cuddle up under a soft blanket or two. You can increase the heat insulating properties with a thick rug underfoot, as well as heavy drapes that will frame the view out over your summer garden all season long.
