Florida room

Enclosed sunny porch

A Florida room is an enclosed porch or sunroom, typically with large windows or screens, designed to let in light while providing shelter from insects and weather.

Common in warm climates, especially the American South, it serves as a casual living space: We had lemonade in the Florida room.

Also called a sunporch or lanai.
