This allows your living space to be extended, and for your sunroom to act as a second living room. \u003Cstrong> \u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cstrong>Sunroom Tip #9.

One final tip: the sunroom is naturally very seasonal: all of the walls are windows, so you're immediately connected with the outside. Because of this, the sunroom needs constant refreshing to keep in season. \u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">Get more spring fresh tips on how to bring the outdoors in \u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/blog/6-spring-refresh-tips-from-interior-designers-we-love/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here on the blog.\u003C/a>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cstrong>Kathy Kuo Home Design Services\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">Feeling inspired?
