A Mid-Century Sunroom Refresh in Greensboro, NC: Clean Lines, Pool-Ready Comfort

A Mid-Century Mood—Warm, Light, and Timeless

From our first conversation, the homeowners were clear: they wanted a mid-century look for the sunroom. That meant confident silhouettes, tapered lines, and furniture that feels curated without being fussy. Think easy-on-the-eyes profiles that invite you to sit down and stay a while.

Clean Lines, With Style

Clean didn’t mean cold. We aimed for balance—streamlined frames paired with soft cushions and a few bold accents so the room would read as modern yet welcoming. Every piece needed to carry its own weight visually, but nothing should shout.

No-Maintenance Living

With pool traffic in the mix, maintenance had to be minimal. Materials needed to shrug off water and sun, resist mildew, and clean up quickly. The clients wanted to enjoy the space, not babysit it.

“Be Distinguished”

Last, they wanted the room to feel like it had a point of view. Not flashy, but distinctly theirs. We translated that as understated structure with a few standout details—small moments that draw the eye and make the sunroom feel tailored.

Design Strategy

Anchoring the Look with Castelle Berkly

We started with the Castelle Berkly collection to nail the mid-century language right away. The Berkly frames have that sleek, architectural stance—crisp angles, refined proportions, and a presence that’s felt without overwhelming the room. By choosing Berkly as our backbone, we set a consistent design rhythm: clean, comfortable, and elevated.

A Pop of Personality: Triad Cushion Factory Custom Cubes

To give the space its “distinguished” beat, we worked in custom cubes from Triad Cushion Factory. These little workhorses can be seats, footrests, or side tables with a tray—super flexible for a sunroom that has to flip from morning coffee to post-swim lounging. We used the cubes to inject color and pattern in a tight, intentional way, so the room stays calm but never flat.

Maximize the Space—Not the Bulk

Sunrooms are all about flow: you want room to move, windows to breathe, and furniture that feels like it belongs. We measured meticulously to keep walkways generous and sightlines open. Every selection was scaled to the room so you get a full, functional layout that still feels airy.

Noticeable, Not Overpowering

The homeowners loved the idea that guests would say, “Wow, I love this furniture,” without the pieces stealing the entire show. We chose silhouettes that read as sculptural but left enough negative space around and under them to keep the architecture front-and-center. Low visual weight, high style.

Fit Without Overfilling

We arranged seating to create natural conversation zones and easy pool-to-sunroom transitions. The Berkly seating frames an anchor area for hanging out and reading, while the cubes flex around those core pieces. Everything belongs; nothing feels crammed.

Simple Palette, Smart Pops

We settled on a streamlined color story that respects the serene vibe of the sunroom—light, natural tones that keep things bright. The cubes carry the “pop” in the palette, adding a playful note you notice, then appreciate more over time. Because the accents are concentrated and movable, the look is easy to refresh down the road.

Pool-Friendly by Design

Wet swimsuits? No problem. We leaned into performance fabrics and powder-coated aluminum so the space stands up to splashes and humidity. Surfaces wipe down quickly, cushions dry fast, and finishes are built to handle real life. The result is a room you can use hard and still admire for years.

The Outcome: A Mid-Century Sunroom That Feels Effortless

Filled, Not Crowded

When you step into the room now, it feels complete—every seat has a purpose and the layout invites conversation—yet there’s still a sense of ease. Pathways are clear, so circulation never bottlenecks when a wave of guests comes in from the pool. The furniture frames the views instead of blocking them, and the clean lines read as calming rather than stark.

The “Everyone’s Happy” Test

This sunroom gets used—morning coffee, afternoon swim breaks, pre-dinner hangs. The feedback has been the best part: everyone’s comfortable, and the furniture is getting compliments without becoming the main character. It’s doing its job beautifully.

Decades of Good Looks and Low Stress

Durability mattered from day one. With quality frames and performance fabrics, this setup is built to last—through seasons of sun, splashes, and plenty of family time. The homeowners wanted simple, elegant, and long-lasting; they’ve got exactly that, and they’re enjoying it already.
