A screened porch can be relaxation central. Make the most of yours with these ideas!
Are you dreaming of a screened porch? May through October is generally the best time to spend time on your screened porch, and as you slide into this long season, you can make the most of it by following these seven ways to relax on a screened porch.
Take a Nap
What better way to relax on a screened porch than to take a nap? Are you tired? Have you been busy working nine to five and then some? It’s okay to relax and take a nap! On a nice day, you can nap on a secluded screened porch. Hang a porch swing or add comfortable furniture for your napping pleasure.
Observe Nature
If you are awake, it is sometimes nice to just sit and observe the world around you. Take in the sound of the breeze and insects and birds, the sight of the trees, grass, and sunshine, and the feel of the air. Watch the wildlife go by.
Dine Fine
Relaxation is made even better when you are well-fed and hydrated with things you love to eat and drink. It could be as simple as a drink or as ornate as fancy home-cooked cuisine. It could be a cup for one or a feast for a dozen (granted you have guests.)
Read a Book
Do you want to disconnect from the Internet? It’s healthy to get away from time to time, especially with how much we rely on them and how addictive they can be. Try reading a book or playing a game that doesn’t involve any electronics. Let the screened porch be a Wi-Fi-free zone.
Play a Game
Playing games can be very relaxing, as all of the gamers know. If you’re in an introverted mood, you can play puzzles, video games, etc., in the privacy of your screened porch. If you want to socialize, invite your family and friends to join.
Have a Conversation
Conversation can be life to the soul. If you are a conversationalist, the screened porch can be a lovely place to have a chat to catch up, spend time together, or get to know someone better.
Gather Together!
Screened porches are home additions, making them great spaces for entertaining. Sometimes, spending time with other people is great for the soul. We need other people. Gather together and relax on your screened porch!
