Fun ways to spruce up your lanai this Summer.

Fun ways to spruce up your lanai this Summer.

Ahhh, Summer. Time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, light breeze and thrilling afternoon thunderstorms from the comfort of your lanai.

But, why go out and enjoy the same lanai you enjoyed last Summer when with a few simple touches, you can spruce up your lanai and make it feel like a brand new room?

Here are just a few ideas we put together to help make your lanai comfortable and inviting for Summer entertaining, or just getting lost in a good Summer read.

1. Bring the inside out!
Don't limit your lanai decor to just outdoor patio furniture. Incorporate new, decorative pillows and throws and bring indoor decorative accessories outside for a more homey feel.

2. Keep your feet comfy too!
Nothing pulls a space together and makes it feel more comfortable than good rugs. Add a large rug under a table in the center of a seating area, or add small, individual rugs to the base of each chair for even more relaxing fun in the sun.

3. Add window treatments.
While your retractable screen gives you plenty of privacy, curtains add another dimension of beauty and tie the entire room together aesthetically. Enjoy the best of both worlds as your retractable screen lets you breathe the fresh air and watch the breeze gently blow the curtains, bug-free!

4. Add ambient lighting.
After the sun goes down, few things add more sparkle to a room than twinkling ambient lights. Sure, real candles are fabulous, but get even more life out of ambient lighting by adding amber twinkling LED lights around the border of your lanai.

5. Add a motorized screen. Keep the critters out and enjoy a screened in lanai at the touch of a button.

Two garage door retractable screens at Grand Park North. Everyone from Al (on-site sales) to Jack (installer) were very professional. Especially Jack who had to contend with severe out of plumb garage door framing to deliver an excellent installation. Physical showroom is a plus for the how-does-it-work crowd. We definitely recommend Michele's.

Our experience with Michele's Hide-Away Screens went perfectly. The technician showed up exactly at the time he said he would, diagnosed the problem and told me how long it would take to fix it. He did a great job and I would use them again if I ever have any more problems with my sliding screens.

Michelle screens 👍 Jack was awesome install technician. Jack was good - responsive time was good. Customer service nice and friendly. Highly recommend them - I think service call fee was a little high ($100.00) for a recent install of there motor that was acting up, I thought perhaps covered by warranty as install is under 12 month. Oh well - there you go 👍
