Whether you grew up in Central Florida or moved here recently, we can all agree that the opportunities to enjoy our outdoor living spaces are abundant. All year round we can pick up and go for a walk or simply go outside and hop in the pool. The weather in Central Florida allows for increased opportunities to get the benefits of natural sunlight and enjoy our outdoor living space at home. As a way of celebrating this abundance, we’ve gathered ten easy ways to enjoy your outdoor living space in Central Florida.
Water Wellness
If you have a pool in your home, why not set a goal to use it more often than you do. We know days get busy and we have a thousand and one commitments but the wellness that comes from dipping in the water is priceless. Take time out of your week and dedicate it to swimming and lounging in your pool. It is a guaranteed way to engage in some low impact activities and feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Backyard Games
If you are lucky enough to have a fenced in backyard space, then why not use the exclusive space to bring to life some classic backyard games. Whether you bring back an Italian classic like bocce ball or you begin practicing for one of the fastest growing sports other than pickleball; cornhole, your backyard space is the perfect space for screen free time for any age.
Outdoor Dinners
With all of the swimming and playing, we cannot forget about the benefits of spending time outdoors especially if you are eating. Dining al fresco is a great way to add some change to your weekdays and create memories. Whether you dine under the pergola or use your outdoor kitchen to whip up a scrumptious meal, eating outside is one of the best ways to enjoy your outdoor living space.
Fire Pit Parties
You might not have all of your outdoor living space visions set in motion yet but you might have a simple but extremely strong outdoor staple in your backyard; the fire pit. A classic fire pit can do wonders for your time outdoors. From simply meditating around the fire pit to hosting a fire pit party with s’mores and drinks, this small but mighty feature can boost your outdoor fun exponentially.
Backyard Grilling
Speaking of fire, why not fire up the grill and enjoy some time with a classic backyard activity like grilling. Not only does grilling allow for healthy meal prep for the week, it can also facilitate some fun conversations throughout your time grilling. Who needs a special holiday to grill, why not create your own holiday vibe every time you decide to grill.
Create a Small Garden
Hands on projects are also a beautiful way of enjoying your outdoor living space. You can create a kid friendly garden or simply plant a few items that are your favorite. A small space outdoors dedicated to growing fresh basil, peppermint, thyme, oregano, and fresh herbs will not only grant you some added connection to nature, it will add delicious flavor to your everyday meals.
Reading Nooks
Another great way to enjoy your outdoor living space is to take some time to relax and read. A cute reading corner can be found anywhere outdoors. Create a fun reading spot under the pergola, or add a hammock to your lanai and lounge out with your favorite book. The important thing is to relax and create some time to unwind.
Pet Friendly Spaces
Relaxing and unwinding can also include fun spaces for your pet. Whether you transform your backyard into a pet friendly space or you simply add some fresh water and shaded spaces for your pet, the outdoors can be a wonderful space your pets enjoy too.
Porch Relaxation
Of course it goes without saying, a nice day out on the porch is a southern classic and a fun way to relax. Grab a rocking chair and some fresh tea or lemonade and simply people watch for a bit and you are well on your way to remembering how simple pleasures can enhance life more than we think.
Outdoor Gym
Another point of inspiration for enjoying Central Florida weather all year round in your outdoor living space is spending time in an outdoor gym. You don’t necessarily have to have all of the equipment laid out but some jump ropes, kettlebells and a yoga mat by the pool or under the pergola can guarantee time outdoors and fitness practice.
