Just because the summer is ending doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t squeeze in time at your lake house. In fact, it may be the perfect time! The kids are back in school and busy lake hours have come to a sudden halt. How could anyone pass that up? The only difference is you\u2019ll need to consider any re-decorating or designing that you want done for next summer. Feel inspired by following our tips to revamp your lake house in time for next summer\u2019s hustle and bustle.

When you\u2019re preparing for summer days spent at the lake house, it\u2019s easy to ignore the chances of rain. Thankfully, you can always prepare your space for a fun day spent inside. By creating a large media room, everyone can cozy-up together for a movie while the rain drizzles down. To enhance the theater feel, consider adding black or navy drapes along the walls of your basement space. Also, consider incorporating stadium-type seating with wooden risers to sit in a staggered fashion. Most importantly, add cozy blankets and pillows!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider your options for how you\u2019ll watch the movie. For example, you could use a large flat-screen television or a projector screen. If you choose the projector, be sure to place it somewhere near the ceiling so it doesn\u2019t cast the shadow of someone\u2019s head! Now you can pop the popcorn and gather \u2018round to watch one of your favorite flicks!

Now is the time to think about Phantom\u2019s\u00a0motorized retractable screens<\/a>\u00a0for the ultimate protection against pesky bugs. If you and your family enjoy eating outdoors, then this is the best way to keep your dinner to yourselves. When they\u2019re not in use, Phantom\u2019s retractable screen system can disappear with the click of a button. Executive screens can fit a single opening as wide as 25 feet. Get your windows, doors and patio ready for next summer\u2019s battle against bugs!

Do you sometimes find that more people end up at your lake house than you expected? In no time flat, a get-together of a few family members and friends can turn into an elaborate social event. As long as you have enough seating for everyone, this doesn\u2019t have to be an issue. You\u2019ll want to add a couple of large couches for the living room and extra seating to the kitchen area. Also, by including a large dining table and an island, people can relax with a cool drink.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also want to be sure to have plenty of space outside for guests. Since this is where people are going to be most frequently, ample seating is extra important. Try to get some chairs that are stackable so they can be stored in a garage, shed or even just on the deck so people can grab them when needed.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A built-in fire pit is a must for any lake house. There\u2019s just no better way to spend your evening than roasting marshmallows! In your yard, you can install a fire pit with brick so that it\u2019s easily contained and will be big enough to keep everyone cozy. Place a few comfortable chairs and campfire necessities around the fire so people can grab a blanket and enjoy the night.
