Outdoor Living Space Summer Hacks: Where to Spend Most of Your Summer Days Around the House
L.M. Montgomery once wrote “I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” Montgomery was Canadian but I’m sure we would be willing to open our homes to allow her to live out her summer dreams all year long down here in Florida with us. Not only does the weather make living in Florida a summertime joy for everyone; the spaces we create to enjoy them in are just as amazing.
Here are some of our top picks for where to enjoy your summer days around the house:
Summer Oasis Under the Pergola: Hanging out under the sweet shade of a pergola was popular centuries ago and still holds its popularity today. Whether you cozy up in a lounge chair with a great summer reading book or you add a hammock and swing yourself to a little afternoon nap, pergolas are a favorite to many on summer afternoons. These delightful additions to the backyard can also serve as multipurpose pieces. Pergolas, depending on the material and model, can be great for growing vine fruits like passion fruit for a nice change to your summer pallet.
Lounge out in the Lanai: With its origins in Hawaii, this house concept is perfect for summer days. Add some outdoor furniture to the space for a great place to host friends, sit out and listen to music, or even get some work done in the fresh air. A lanai is a great space for the summer days. It adds a mix of indoor and outdoor feel without compromising shade or sunlight.
Sunny Afternoons on the Front Porch: Of course we won’t talk about summer days in the south without adding a little tribute to the classic front porch. Whether you add retractable screens to the front porch for a mosquito free environment or you add some rocking chairs or a cool swing, the front porch is a great place to relax and let go on summer days or all year round. Grab your sweet tea and lemonade and enjoy some time just soaking in your home and your neighborhood–why not. It is summertime after all.
Al Fresco Dining in Your Summer Kitchen: Summer days would not be complete without a nice barbecue or outdoor dinner. Whether you host an entire summer brunch in your outdoor kitchen or have a campfire snack night out by your fire pit, the summertime is the best time to enjoy a meal outside. Why not grab a coffee and sit out by the pool for some morning quiet time.
