What is a Lanai? This word is of Hawaiian origin that means a porch, balcony or a veranda. It is more popular in Hawaii until Floridians adapted the word and the style and designs. Since Florida is mostly sunny, Lanai became a popular part of Floridian homes and this is where you usually see people having an afternoon tea or a morning coffee.

In Florida, homes with lanais are becoming more and more popular. The style and design have become more modern and artistic. The sides may be open, screened, glassed or have strips of wood. It can be useful, to protect you from the elements while you’re waiting to enter the home or a place to take off your boots or garden shoes; it can be the size of a room, with furniture for relaxing or dining. The materials and style are generally compatible with the house it’s attached to.

You can choose different designs and uses for your home lanai. For some, it is a place of rest and relaxation. For some, it is a place for receiving guests and entertainment. And for some, it is a place for family activities. When weather is less than great you have to go inside the house, but with lanai at home, you don’t have to do that anymore. You can enjoy the bright sunshine or the gloomy weather in this part of your home. With a lanai, whether it is raining or not, you can still appreciate the view outdoor while staying indoors. Moreover, it can add space to your living room making it more convenient while having an afternoon tea or coffee whatever the weather is. Your home will seem bigger as a result without requiring you to invest in a costly addition.
