Florida homeowners are always looking for ways to take advantage of their homes’ outdoor space. Make the most of your backyard – and cool off – with these recent design trends:
– Add an extended screen enclosure to create additional outside living space to entertain guests.
– Use a pergola or an oversized umbrella as a stylish way to create shade for a seating area.
– To make outdoor space feel more inviting, consider décor that matches the interior of your home.
– A backyard kitchen provides the perfect setup to entertain poolside, while a fire pit is great for creating a nighttime hangout spot.
