I have just bought a house and some of the colors in it are awful. One room is the sun room and the other is the bathroom.

lots of bright colors look good in a sun room and lots of real plants--wicker furniture looks great also in a sun room and maybe a small bookcase---a sofa that is overstuffed is a plus--real comfortable chairs! mirrors too---As for the bathroom paint it white or off white (antique white)--then you can color coordinate it however you want! Get some of those catalogs like Lakeside that is real affordable but has unique stuff in it (Lakeside.com)
Shop for cute planters or buy the terre cotte and spraypaint the outside--a palm tree motiff would be nice in a sun room!
Buy those round glass table tops and get a very large terrecotte flowerpot and turn it upside down and spraypaint the outside of the flowerpot to match your color motif put the glass on top and walla! end tables!

I do agree the sun room should be a nice bright color but I would never advise painting white, to me white is not a color and there is absolutely no creativity or design or decorating happening when you paint a room white. I would go to home depot (or a store like that) and browse the paint colors. I think something in the yellow-green family would be nice or even check out some lighter orange colors. There are endless possibilities, I bet if you browse some paint colors in a store you will get tons of ideas. I see a lot of bright bluish green lately and you could do a dark wicker furniture, I think that would look really nice. For the bathroom I love celedon green, it's a great color. You want your bathroom to have some color but not be too dark.

In a sun room you want to keep it bright. I would go with a yellow, green, light blue or white. According to the way your sun room is laid out, most of the time wicker or outdoor type furniture looks the best. There are lots of possibilities and you can bring out numerous colors with accent pieces.

Sun room should be bright or natural in decor.

Paint it white or a creamy yellow for the walls.
Wicker furniture either white or natural will make it feel airy.

Maybe some white and yellow striped roll up curtains (the thick kind) or wood shades or even the shutters may look good.

a woven rug of hemp or other natural fiber and some pretty lamps and maybe a round glass card table.

1] bathroom - buy a shower curtain in a print you like. Pick one of the colors for the walls, and rugs; pick a second for accessories. Then add towel sets in color one and color two
[ not at the same time ].
2] sunroom - paint it a light, bright color [ yellow, sage green, peach, etc.] that matches or complements the colors in your prints. Buy wicker or cushiony chairs in a floral [ very victorian ] or stripes [ beachy ]. For floral - add oriental rug; for stripes, add hemp or mat.
Victorian decor - dried flowers under glass, peacock feathers
Beach - fishing nets, kites.
