sun rooms
Glass-walled living spaces
Sun rooms are enclosed spaces with large windows or glass walls designed to let in abundant natural light.
Usually attached to a house, they serve as sitting areas that feel partially outdoors while offering protection from weather.
Also called solariums or Florida rooms: We added a sun room off the back of the house.
Sometimes spelled as one word: sunrooms.
