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.

Everyone that we asked about power rollup screens said Michele's Screens was the best and they were spot on. Everyone from the person answering the phone, to the sales rep to install were very professional. Sales rep arrived on time and the installer also arrived on time and completed the install in 3 hours. Looks great, works great and very happy with the whole experience. Would recommend to everyone needing screens installed.

From start to finish the people were amazing. Bob installed my motorized screen today and changed our garage space from a garage to a hang out space with screen. I recommend Michele's screen to everyone

The technician was on time and upbeat and efficient and quick and honest. He suspected that replacement parts might be needed. He determined that they weren’t and said so. I will definitely call them whenever needed.

Needed a repair on our garage door screen. As in the past, Michele’s was easy to make appointment, arrived on time, repair completed well, and priced very fairly. Highly recommend contacting them if you need a new screen or a repair.

We highly recommend Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. Back in 2024 we had their garage screens installed. We were very pleased with the work. Now in 2026 we called for a service on the doors. Again, the communication with the office staff and the service performed by their technician, Jack, was excellent. We definitely would recommend this company for your screening needs.

This company is awesome. They had a service man here to fix my screen that came off the track. Very professional and nice. Fixed the screen and also sprayed the track for me.

We love our new screen doors on our garage. The installer was very professional. Thank you for a wonderful product. Our old garage screen slider doors had the rollers on the bottom. We love the rollers on the top they open and close very easily and won’t get dirty like the old ones.
