Cheapest option for remodelling a sunroom tacked onto rear kitchen?

Our house was extended at some point to add a sun room to the back of the house. The original rear window was left in the back wall to let in light to the kitchen. It doesn't look very pretty and the sun room feels tacked on. What's the cheapest way to remodel it and modernise it slightly? What would a builder suggest?

"Hey,

To remodel and modernize the sunroom and the original rear window, one cost-effective way could be to consider installing a new, more aesthetically pleasing window that complements the sunroom's design. This can help improve the overall look of the space and make it feel more cohesive.

A builder might suggest replacing the existing window with a larger, more stylish window that allows more natural light into the kitchen while enhancing the appearance of the sunroom. Additionally, adding some simple landscaping or exterior features like plants, outdoor lighting, or a fresh coat of paint can also help modernize and integrate the sunroom with the rest of the house.

Consulting with a builder or a contractor experienced in home renovations can provide you with specific recommendations tailored to your needs and budget. They can offer advice on cost-effective ways to enhance the appearance of the sunroom and the original rear window, making them look more integrated and visually appealing."
