5 Ways to Enjoy Your Outdoor Living Space This Spring

Apr 15, 2022

The weather is always warm in Florida but there's still something so special about this time of year. Maybe it's the fresh breeze blowing in from the bay or the promise of the gloriously long summer ahead. Whatever you love most about spring, there's no better way to enjoy it than by relaxing outside in your own beautiful outdoor living space.


At Medallion Home, we are known for our gorgeous outdoor lanais with pools, fully-equipped outdoor kitchens and our overall emphasis on quality outdoor living in every home we build. Let's look at five ways to enjoy your Medallion Home backyard and make the most of this beautiful spring weather.


1) Turn Your Lanai Into An Outdoor Living Room


Turn up the comfort factor and transform your covered lanai into the ultimate outdoor living room! Select a few plush couches or settees, a soft outdoor rug, pillows for lounging, and a few light blankets to get cozy for after-dinner drinks and conversation. This time of year (and all year, really), we promise your outdoor living room will get just as much use as your indoor space!


2) Make S'mores With The Kids


Your spacious backyard is the perfect spot for an outdoor fire pit. You can find them in an array of sizes and materials to match your home's style or you can incorporate one into the design of your home. The little ones will LOVE making their own desserts and you'll love making sweet memories around the fire in the comfort and safety of your own yard. What was once only an occasional camping experience can be an everyday treat at home.


3) Take In A Movie


Your spacious lanai or yard is the perfect place for family movie night! Purchase a screen and projector (or get creative with a white sheet) and set up blankets, pillows, low chairs, and a fully-loaded snack bar to enjoy your favorite films under the stars.


4) Let The Light Shine


Lighting can make or break interior design, but did you know you can use light to completely transform your outdoor space too? Use string lights, fairy curtain lights, or paper lanterns to instantly create ambiance and make your lanai cozier and more welcoming. When you add a pair of comfortable, cushioned chairs and your favorite beverage, you'll never want to leave.


5) Dine Outdoors In Elegance


Central and Southwest Florida have some of the best weather in the country this time of year. Take advantage of it by having special occasion meals at home. Create an unforgettable dining experience with formal dinnerware, candles, and a gorgeous tablescape. For ultimate luxury, have a catering company take care of all the cooking and cleaning up.


However you choose to dress up your outdoor space, it's sure to be a highlight of your new Medallion home. We can't think of a better way to enjoy the great outdoors than to spend time right in your own backyard. For more information, please contact us!

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
