The Designer Difference: Lake House Must-Haves

It doesn’t get much better than a weekend at the lake. But there are a few fundamental items that can take that lake weekend from fun to full-on fantastic. Here are some lake house essentials from designer Lisa Flake.

A sizable sofa. The living room should include a comfortable sofa—preferably
a sectional—for the whole family to gather together to watch movies, play games, or simply hang out. “Be sure to have plenty of great throws too,” says Lisa.

Stereo system. Turn up the fun with a great stereo system. Make the vibe even better by compiling a playlist everyone will enjoy. “A portable stereo system is also a must so you can keep the music going outside,” Lisa says.

Fire pit. Chilly fall evenings beckon for a fire pit. “My family loves to roast s’mores over the fire pit while singing along to our favorite songs,” Lisa says.

Personalized items. Every lake house needs a name. Lisa says a fun yet functional way to incorporate the name is with personalized cups for family and friends to use. “Our lake house is named ‘On the Rocks,’ so it’s really fitting for personalized cups” Lisa says.
