Post this on /adv/ and they came up with a decent room idea of using it for shuffleboard. Which I'm strongly considering -- but now I need to make it into a room that won't make people sick to enter.

Any advice for the flooring to match the window trim or a color to not make it as miserable? Or do the windows really need to go to salvage the room?

The problem with the room is the color of the paint on the walls. This is very easy to fix. Paint them white or something not ridiculous. Knotty pine does not go with lime green. It looks like a bamboo jungle themed mini golf snack bar.

I'd go with a wood floor and change the paint. The wood around the windows is loud (knotty pine?) but not bad so you need to go with something muted for the walls and floors. The green just makes me want to puke. Too much going on. So go with a medium wood or lighter wood on the floors and probably an off white or something else thats pretty neutral for the paint. Then maybe some throw rugs? Depends on what you are going for.

What is the deal with that room? Is it a dining room? A weird addition? Its got a ton of outlets (hope you have at least 2 circuits) and the weird door at the end. 3 lights? What? Storytime please.

This comment made my day.

Don't even know myself. Purchased the home as a foreclosure and before it was that it was abandoned. Realtor advised it was both a great sunroom and place for growing weed. Which I'm told is important to have outlets everywhere.

It's definitely a weird layout. Aside from that door at the end that leads into the living room, it also has two windows to the interior on the other side (where the photo was taken) that look into the kitchen. No entry from the kitchen though.

First I was thinking pool table and a small bar, but the walls might be a little too close for it since it's 26 x 10. And for a bar it's too well lit.

Wish my wife was as knotty as that wood.

White paint on the walls should be the first course of action.

A decent carpet, or a laminate wood flooring will transform the place.

Honestly I sort of like the looks of that room. The green with the unstained wood is nice and like jungle-y

You can change the trim around the windows, once you try whatever flooring you decide on and see if it works. You could also just fill any large voids in the existing trim with filler, and paint. If you want to get totally crazy you could take out one of the lights too, but you'd probably end up with a cover plate on your ceiling. Retro-fitted ceiling fan? Of course paint the walls...

Paint all that primitive looking wooden trim a nice florescent yellow.
Problem solved.

fyi for the flooring, put in vinyl, laminate or carpet. If you put hardwood on that chip board sub floor the manufacturers won't honor the warranty. Also, avoid ceramic or porcelain too, unless you want all your tiles to pop loose in a few years.

White walls, white ceiling, white or red windowframes, light-grey floor, I'd say.


Pictured room looks like shit-floor with pimple-lights about to burst with puss.
Those walls need to be napalmed.

I'd try to find a way to keep the window trim as plain wood. So you could stain it darker or pickle stain it lighter.

If you have to paint the windows do not go with any color other than the window casings (which is probably white). If you use white trim on the windows, the floor trim should match.

Paint the walls something light or light-medium tone.

Wood floor is best. Doesn't need to match the stain (it would never be a pine floor anyway).

It was probably the homeowner not understanding the 6 foot rule of the NEC.

The walls should be primed and painted a light neutral color. Not a basic white, but something very muted. Very light grey would look nice.

The windows don't need to go, but unless you like knotty pine and it works with the rest of the decor in the house, you could replace it with some standard oak trim.

For flooring it depends on the use more than anything. If you want it to be a theater area, carpet, if you want it to be a home gym, resilient vinyl. Also is the area heated? Sunroom usually means no heat but it is insulated so it will stay a stable temp.

Just repaint the walls you could probably remove the trim on the windows an replace it if you wanted to.
