There is no better place to feel relaxed and at ease than at your home. Homeowners are increasingly finding unique ways to spruce up their spaces and create a cozy getaway feeling without having to leave the comfort of their own home.
While home interiors are transforming into multi-purpose entertainment and working spaces, the Florida year-round sunshine and warmer weather provides you with the perfect opportunity to create the outdoor oasis getaway you have always wanted.

3 Tips to Create Your Outdoor Oasis
How do you even begin to create an outdoor oasis that truly transports you to the perfect getaway destination? There are plenty of ways to start, and the following are three quick, simple tips to help.
#1 Create a Sense of Privacy
When you are looking for some quality R & R getaway time, you typically want some exclusion. You can create that same sense of privacy in your own backyard with a little bit of help from large planters, green hedges, or curtains to section off the lanai from the rest of the backyard.
#2 Set the Mood
Lighting is just as important outside as it is inside your home. While the sun is the ultimate outdoor light source during the day, there are plenty of unique ambient lighting options to set the mood at night, such as tiki torches, string lighting, and even candles (which can also serve as a bug repellent), outdoor sconces, and even solar-powered light fixtures.
#3 Cozy Furniture
You should have comfortable seating options to fully soak-in your backyard views, ambient lighting, and privacy. Cozy-up your outdoor oasis with waterproof, plush seating options, rugs, and cushions.
