Why A Lanai Is Your Ticket To Creating A Tropical Florida Christmas Oasis
One of the benefits to celebrating the holiday season in Central Florida is the fact that the beautiful tropical climate allows us to celebrate inside and outside of our homes all month long. With the perfect mix between the structure of indoors and the sunny outdoor weather, a lanai is your ticket to creating the perfect tropical holiday oasis this year.
Tropical begins with Lanai: When thinking about tropical activities we can derive inspiration from our the beautiful island of Maui in Hawaii. Lanai is a term that is from Hawaii and refers to the enclosed porch attached to the home. It is a created space that captures the inside and outside space perfectly which allow us to celebrate the tropical weather in the best way.
Easy to Clean: Not only do we want to celebrate the holiday season with easy access to tropical weather I think we’d all agree that having a space that allows for easy cleanup for all of our guests is also one of the best ways to enjoy the season. One of the differences between lanais and enclosed porches or sunrooms is that a lanai is usually distinguished by having the concrete floors. These types of floors, or any enclosed outdoor space for that matter, allows for easy cleanup! Whether you sweep, mop, or even need a hose, cleanup is easy and eco friendly with easy ways to allow water to flow to the backyard space.
Creative Decorations: Outdoor living spaces give us the opportunity to get creative with our decorations. Whether you light up your pergola this year or go all out on your front porch with blow up decorations, your home is the best place to express yourself and celebrate the way you want to. A lanai can be the perfect place to decorate specifically with a tropical theme. From tropical Santas to Flamingos with snow hats the possibilities are there to create a space for children to hang their holiday crafts and a place to lounge and relax away from formality inside of the house.
Fire pits and Fire Places: Speaking of creative twists and turns, why not have fun around the fire pit this season. Part of celebrating the tropical weather is enjoying the fact that we have absolutely no snow to shovel or dodge from. Instead of staying indoors near a fireplace that many of us do not even have in the home, why not grab some hot chocolate and lounge around the fire pit. The lanai is the perfect transitional space for guests and family during outdoor entertaining. Whether we need a quick break or another drink, the lanai allows us to continue on in the outdoor atmosphere while still feeling the cozy atmosphere of being indoors.
Out of all the tropical inspirational spaces to select when thinking of our homes, there is no better word than lanai. Like our friends in Hawaii, all of us in Central Florida know how to soak up a relaxing lifestyle and create spaces with intention. To get started Contact U.S. Aluminum at 407-237-3128
