		<description><![CDATA[A sun room should be placed carefully in your home based on what your primary purpose is for the room. Various types of sunshine enter your home through a sun room, so if you want evening sun, morning sun or indirect sunlight, the location is very important.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re building a home and you want to include a sun room in your plans, the location should be considered carefully to get the desired results from your sun room. So, will it face north, south, east or west?</p>
<p>If you build your sunroom on the north side of your home, you can have natural light, but you won’t get much direct sunlight. This room won’t be as warm in the winter as other locations where it would get the warm morning or afternoon rays of the sun. But it can still be a comfortable room with a lot of natural light.<br />
On the south side, expect plenty of warmth during sunny winter days. You won’t experience heavy rays of the sun during the summer, so it can be a light enjoyable room in summer months without overheating.</p>
<p>A sunroom facing east will catch the sunshine early in the mornings – great for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea before work, and great for growing beautiful plants indoors.</p>
<p>Of course, if your sun room faces west, you’re going to get the afternoon sunshine. This is a great option if the afternoon sun is what you enjoy most. However, you will definitely need to add shades of some sort to help keep down the cost of cooling in the summer and to keep furniture from fading as the afternoon sun rays are the strongest.</p>
<p>A sunroom can become one of the most enjoyable rooms in your home. Just be sure to consider the location so you will get the most enjoyment from it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A sun room is an extension of your home that utilizes natural sunlight to enhance the time spent in this area of your home. A sun room must have lots of light flowing into it at certain times of the day; so many windows are part of the design.</p>
<p>Some refer to a sun room as a Florida room, a solarium, or simply an enclosed patio. Whatever term you prefer, the addition of a sun room will provide a very comfortable living area within your home while you enjoy a little nature from the inside.</p>
<p>Usually those who want a sun room like the idea of taking advantage of the natural sunlight to grow plants indoors to create a comforting environment with the feeling of the outdoors. Often a fountain of some type is included in the design to create the peaceful sound of running water.</p>
<p>If you have a room in your home that has a great deal of sunshine coming through during certain periods of the day, you might consider turning it into a comfortable retreat within your home. All it takes is a little redecorating to create the feeling of the outdoors.</p>
