sun parlor

Bright sitting room

A sun parlor is a room with large windows or glass walls designed to admit abundant sunlight, typically used for relaxation or growing plants.

Also called a sunroom or solarium.

The term sounds somewhat old-fashioned: Grandmother always took her afternoon tea in the sun parlor.
