Getting your Patio Summer Ready



Hopefully, we have seen the last of the big winter snowstorms. As the days are getting longer and the first promising spring buds poking through the soil, now is the perfect time to start thinking about getting your patio summer-ready – whether for entertaining family, guests, or simply yourself on a relaxing day.

Spring Cleaning- Out with the Old, In with the New

The first step is to clean your patio. Sweep away loose dirt and debris and give it a thorough scrub to wash away the winter snow residue. Do your walls need a fresh coat of paint or perhaps a new summer look? Switch out or clean your winter furniture to be presentable in your outdoor environment. Wicker furniture is very summery and easy to protect from the summer elements. You can bring your patio to life with some new cushions, pillows, and throws with summer colors like yellows and blues.

Decorate Your Patio

One way to decorate your patio is gardening to brighten up the space. As winter frost begins to thaw, you should devote some time and energy to weeding your garden flowerbeds and any planters near your patio. Create vibrant summer flower pots with perennials found at Home Depot to enjoy from your patio. Lights can be a great aesthetic addition and create a cozy and serene setting. Lanterns are a great way to create an atmosphere when entertaining in the evening. Another great idea is to string fairy lights on the inside of your umbrella's open canopy. Finally, you can find decorative garden statues and small fountains in any budget that will add to the overall decor.

Preparing for Nature's Elements

Nothing beats the ability to enjoy the outdoors and not be bothered by nuisance pests and biting insects. Besides using citronella candles, you should consider installing retractable screens or windows on your patio. You are protected from bugs, UV rays, and rainstorms but still outside. Make sure outdoor furniture is weatherproof or can be protected with durable furniture covers. According to Good Housekeeping, the recommendation is to buy a new functional umbrella every year.

Sunroom Vs. Screened Porch: Which One’s Better For Your Home?

  Have you been thinking of adding something new to your home? A sunroom or screened porch can provide extra space to relax, entertain, or pursue hobbies without being exposed to the elements. But how do you choose between these two popular additions? Let’s explore their differences and see which one’s best for you! Understanding Sunrooms and Screened Porches A sunroom is an enclosed space typically constructed of glass windows and walls. It allows natural light in while protecting you from rain, snow, bugs, and other outdoor debris. This addition can also serve as a seamless extension to your home you can use year-round.

Should You Put a Ceiling Fan in Your Sunroom?

  There’s nothing like soaking up the natural light and enjoying the outdoors from the comfort of your sunroom. But as soon as the temperatures climb, your space can become too hot for comfort. Adding a ceiling fan to your sunroom could be a cost-effective solution to keep things cool. Let’s explore the potential benefits of installing one in detail! Benefits of Installing a Ceiling Fan in Your Sunroom There are some really nice perks that a ceiling fan could provide your sunroom, including: Better Air Circulation A ceiling fan’s main job is to maximize airflow. The rotating blades circulate air around the room so it doesn’t become stuffy and stagnant. Also, thanks to the circulation, a fan will mix temperature layers and ensure there aren’t spots that are way too hot or cold. This will make your space feel much more comfortable throughout the warmer months. Temperature Control By keeping the air flowing on those sweltering days, the light breeze from your ceiling fan allow
