A lanai is a beautiful place to enjoy the ocean view, entertain friends and family members, and unwind at the end of a long day. However, it can be challenging to decorate such a small space. The team at Homeworks Construction, a general contractor in Honolulu, HI, shares some advice to make your lanai feel like home.

Lanai Layout Ideas From a General Contractor

1. Natural Materials

Embrace the outdoors with natural materials and textures to decorate your lanai. The warmth of natural wood furniture, wood or earthy tile floors, and light, breezy linens will add a tropical flair to the space. Additionally, colors inspired by nature—like soothing shades of green, blue, and yellow—will create an inviting ambiance that encourages your guests to kick back and stay a while.

2. Greenery

A garden will transform any space into a cozy oasis, but on a lanai, you’re working within certain size constraints. A container garden or hanging garden planters are charming and space-efficient ways to perk up the space with greenery and flowers.

3. Furniture

Large, bulky furniture will make your space feel crowded and busy. Look for small, sleek pieces that do double duty, like benches that provide extra storage and tables that can expand to seat more people. Take the patterns on your furniture into account too. Loud designs and clashing colors will compete for attention rather than letting you focus on what really matters—enjoying the view and outdoor breeze.
