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.

Very professional and helpful staff. They showed up when scheduled and took care of every little detail. Our newly screened porch is gorgeous and we love our huge new hideaway screen door! I highly recommend Michelle‘s Hideaway screens for any of your automatic screen door needs.

We used Michele's to repair our hide away screen door on our front door. Our door required maintenance to work properly. I want to point out that any issues it had was probably caused by either the previous pets who resided here, and/or dirt and debris from the weather. Probably both to be fair. We really like the door for how it is basically hidden and mostly sight until in use. No it is not the most rugged design, but that is the trade off for this hidden convenience. Honestly, I chose Michele's because they origanally installed the hide away screen door in the first place. We were not the residents at that time, but had paperwork informing us of this. So we chose Michele's mainly for that reason. Be that as it may, Michele's scheduled us an appointment in a very reasonable time frame, that worked for us. it's been a while, but I think the person who made the service call, was named Bob. Although I could be wrong. Anyway, I have no complaints as to the quality of his work. He checked out the door to see what the issue was. As I expected, it really needed a re-screening. The screen door was removed and taken back to Michele's shop for a new screening. Another appointment was scheduled in fairly quick order for re-install. At that time, the door was reinstalled and tested. Much better. I will say that Michele's seemed to do a good job in all aspects between getting me an appointment that worked for me, to the fairly quick repair and reinstall. Even the time of both visits to our home was efficient and quick. As such, both times didn't have us waiting around to any long extent. The price for this service wasn't what I would call inexpensive. But to be fair, I don't feel that it was outrageous and I was taken advantage of in any way. And they were up front with the costs involved for just a service call, and again before the door was removed because it required more than just a service call. All in all, Michele's did a good job and I have no complaints to speak of. Like with anything, yes I would have preferred the cost was less. But I do feel that in my opinion, the price was probably fairly reasonable considering the prompt service and repair. So yes I would recommend and use Michele's again if the need arose.

We love our new screen. Bob came out to install it on time and was very professional and courteous. Bob took his time and insured it was installed perfectly. He also made sure it worked flawlessly before he left. Much better quality than the ones they sell at the big box stores. Highly recommend this company for any screens you are interested in getting for your home. Our only regret is not getting this done sooner.
