If you are lucky enough to have the space and the budget a summer room can be a wonderful place to do art or plant your indor plants. It is an excellent extension to your indoor space used as well as dining or living room or indoor gardening which gives you a green center with a calm, soothing, and refreshing ambiance where you can reduce tension and relax after a busy day.

Moreover, even those who  do not see the Feng Shui rules primarily benefit from experts to suggest the best solution for  watering, air circulation, lighting and heating.

First, the plants you choose depend on the type of sunroom you want to create. Experienced designers will help you create unforgettable effects of evergreen scenery or colorful foliage plants and flowers. For a “return to a ray” effect you could furnish it with pieces-cane, wicker and a ceiling fan, plant parlor palms, aspidistras, ferns. 

Second, the conservatory can be planned for an all year color effect, with flowering plants, shrubs and small trees planted to come into bloom at different times. Not more important is to right mach foliage plants. Work with a gardener or carefully study them before machining for color, green deep or red, variegated for them texture and color of the flowers.

The next, important is to right group and tactile plants, carefully use different textures and shapes. I would suggest to keep attention on careful design of low compact shapes and spiky varieties. Furthermore, you may like to experiment with citrus plants, they give a very nice smell and exotic effect.
