In the height of summer, your backyard or porch is headquarters for family time and date night alike. Combine both, and cue up a movie on your DIY movie screen for a staycation highlight.
A bedsheet or table cloth affixed to a fence or wall plays projection screen, and your at-home projector makes movie magic.
Setting up a snack station with seasoned popcorn and traditional concession stand candies will win over guests of all ages.
Creating a homemade touch is a nice way to personalize the experience. Gather a few common household materials — canvas dropcloth, painters’ tape, fabric-safe paint and a roller — and you can craft a custom blanket that feels expensive but only costs a few dollars. The stripes lend a nautical look that let this throw pull double duty as a beach blanket or picnic spread.
Whether you choose action, comedy or thriller, your backyard movie night is sure to be a hit.
Broker One Editorial writes the neighborhood guides, lifestyle coverage, and buyer advice that help readers navigate South Florida real estate. We mix on-the-ground reporting with data from Broker One Research — if a restaurant is mentioned, someone on the team has eaten there; if a neighborhood is described, someone has walked it. Our editorial writers are licensed Florida real estate professionals, long-time South Florida residents, or both. Every lifestyle claim that can be verified with data is checked against our research team's datasets before publication.
