A lanai is a partially covered space that provides access to the outdoors and coverage from rain, sunshine, or bad weather. Your lanai should maximize your view of the outdoor landscape while remaining functional and visually appealing – they can even increase your property value.
At Divine Interiors Group, we'll help you develop a lanai design for an enclosed outdoor space you love.
A Lanai is originally a Hawaiian style of enclosed outdoor space. Similar to a sunroom, lanais provide protection from the elements, bugs, and critters and allow you to use your outdoor spaces more efficiently year-round.
Like sunrooms, but unlike patios, they always have structured coverings and have at least one wall. They're also usually connected to your home by one wall but can have two or three walls enclosing your lanai, depending on your home. Usually, they have concrete floors or something similar that’s easy to sweep and clean.
To understand what you want to include in your lanai, it’s essential to consider how you plan to use the space. For example, do you want to host friends and family for a backyard barbecue, supervise your children while swimming, or use it as a place to unwind?
No matter your primary purpose in this space, you can add several features and pieces to reflect your personality while making it inviting for others. Here are a few ideas to consider:
