Thanksgiving Florida Style

Enhance your entertaining with outdoor living.

As the holidays draw near, entertainers are making plans for how best to welcome friends and family for holiday meals and parties. In Florida, we’re lucky to have balmy warm weather and access to outdoor living spaces that many friends and family members up north only dream of.

A spacious, well planned outdoor area to entertain in, especially during the holiday season, is truly a blessing for homeowners. Jereme and Katie Carter of Saltwater Pools have been building and curating custom luxury pool spaces for years and know exactly what it takes to create an outdoor environment that’s not only beautiful but exceptionally functional. “If you want an outdoor space where you can entertain, you need covered seating and outdoor cooking spaces,” shared Jereme Carter. “You also need to make sure your patio has adequate space, with the pool away from the house, to provide areas for people to spread out and mingle.”

Beyond well-equipped outdoor kitchens and thoughtfully planned dining spaces, small additional details can truly make a big difference for both entertainment and enjoyment year-round. “Make sure you put some type of elevation in, possibly a water feature for sound, or fire for color and natural elements. Visually, you’ll want to consider color contrast as well,” said Carter. “In the end, you want your own peaceful space where you can enjoy the serenity within your backyard.”

Outdoor living allows you to expand your entertainment space to include the outdoors and make your home even more inviting when hosting family and friends. Offering several areas for both conversation and dining will amplify your available space and leave your guests clamoring for a return invitation.
