With summer just around the corner, it's time to sweep off the patio and enjoy the lakeside scenery with the people you love. Here are three ways to improve your lake house retreat this year:
1. Add some shade to your patio
Last summer, temperatures in the Kansas City region neared triple digits, according to The Kansas City Star. When the sun is at its highest point in the day, it doesn't take long to burn your skin. Prepare for hot weather and avoid discomfort by introducing some more shade to your lake home's patio area.
An outdoor umbrella with automatic tilt functionality allows you and your family to enjoy a weekend outdoors in comfort and style. You can spend hours outside without needing to get up and move the shade. A tiltable umbrella is perfect for chatting, reading and eating on the patio.
This summer, make your patio enjoyable for the whole family.2. Create an outdoor coffee nook
Is anything better than waking up and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee in the fresh, summer morning air? You, too, can take in the lakeside scenery with your morning cup of joe when you have a comfortable outdoor nook.
A three-piece patio set is ideal for couples who want to eat breakfast with the rising sun. Plus, patio sets from Ashley Furniture are made with rust-free cast aluminum and high-performance Nuvella fabric, so maintenance is easy.
3. Warm up next to the fire
After the sun goes down, the breeze coming off the lake can be quite chilly. But that shouldn't stop the fun. A square fire pit table instantly adds warmth and comfort to your patio so you can keep the festivities going well into the night. Installation is easy, and the fire pit table comes equipped with a battery-operated ignition and flame control knob so you can get the right amount of warmth without wasting fuel.
With these added amenities, your lake home will be an ideal retreat from the stresses of daily life. From quiet mornings with your family to big outdoor dinners with the neighbors, your lake home can become an oasis of rest and relaxation.
