Most of the homes we design and build and renovations as well include a Morning Room.  Whenever possible we make sure the Morning Room is positioned on the south side of the house.  Since they are typically three sided rooms projecting from the house, they receive great sunlight.  In the morning it is easterly and southerly.  In the midday it is southerly and late in the day southerly and westerly.  So throughout the day it is a bright, airy feeling room projecting out into the yard of a house.

An ideal size is 12 ft by 12 ft.  A bit smaller is functional. A bit larger is great.  I use my morning room not just for family meals.  It is a create place to work at home, play card or simply have a cup of coffee and read the paper.  Since a basement is typically under a morning room this lower level space is ideal for many uses – a wine cellar, an office or even a lower level bedroom.
