A Gazebo Shaped Sunroom Is a Beautiful Addition to Your Home

One of my big wishes is for a gazebo, or gazebo shaped sunroom as part of my master bedroom layout. I’d love to have such a hideaway with a deck just off of the bedroom. Now I can’t decide if I want to put a hot tub in it, or just use it for exercise and recreation. But it would be the most wonderful private retreat (assuming the dear husband doesn’t take it over - hah!)

A gazebo sunroom is simply an enclosed gazebo that may be added as part of your house (similar to a Florida room), or built as a standalone living space. Also known as a solarium or conservatory, these rooms typically have large windows that allow sunlight to stream unimpeded thorough the space, and allow people inside to enjoy outdoor beauty 24/7/365 without the inconvenience of inclement weather or winged pests. Gazebo shaped sunrooms can be used for a family room, a private spa enclosure, a breakfast nook; even a sophisticated kitchen area. (Ah, with pots of fresh herbs and lettuces growing nearby, that kitchen’s an Idea with a capital “I”!) I’m sure you can think of plenty other uses.

Gazebo shaped sunrooms are available in durable aluminum or weather-resistant cedar with screens and/or glass windows. Do make sure if you live in snow-prone areas that the sunroom roof is rated to hold snow loads. You wouldn’t want any nasty cave-ins on your utopia…. A gazebo shaped sunroom, if you’ve placed it where others can access it, is sure to become the most favorite room in the house. I, however, plan to reserve its pleasures all for myself as part of my master bedroom. No matter your choice, you will never regret adding a gazebo shaped sunroom to your home.
