Whether you are adapting a pool that is already in existence or you are designing your pool area from scratch, you will want to create a space that not only looks good but is also very functional.
Deciding on size and shape will probably be at the forefront of your mind, however, you shouldn’t stunt your creativity with just this alone. There are other factors that will play a large part in how it works for your lifestyle and the uses you put it to.
Here is a guide on how to create a pool area that is both stunning and stylish.
1. Take the look to the next level
It could be that you are so focused on getting your new pool in situ that you haven’t thought much past that point. Although you want your pool to be the main visual point, there are other areas that will add to the overall style of the area you are creating.
This could be in the form of the installation of frameless glass pool fencing. These are beautiful and attractive in themselves, but as they are made from tempered crystal-clear glass, will also allow the eye to venture past them and to the creation of your stunning pool.
2. Add touches of luxury to your seating areas
You should also think of your seating areas and not scrimp on the luxury of thick seat padding or cushions. This is because a fullness of seat cushions can give couches, loungers, and chairs the look of high quality and great expense—even if they are far from being a top-of-the-range product.
Of course, you will have to pay particular attention to the style and color of each item to ensure that you are purchasing furniture that not only fits the bill but also the surrounding area that you wish to place it in. You will also have to take note of the size of the area when you look to buy in order to ensure that you do not purchase items that are too big, too long, or too cumbersome, as this could make the area cluttered and therefore less relaxing or desirable.
3. Make it somewhere to socialize and entertain
If you are thinking of making the pool area somewhere to socialize and entertain your friends, you may want to consider installing a bar close by and have plenty of additional seating arrangements. This will mean that you will be able to hold pool parties without the necessity of having guests traipsing backwards and forwards to get drinks from your kitchen as everything will be within the vicinity of the pool and close to hand.
4. Incorporate lighting to draw attention
Unless you are happy for your guests to be around a pool in the dark, you will want to install lighting. This could be in the form of fairy lights around the area, draped across tall plants, or wrapped around garden umbrellas and of course—the bar.
However, you could also include some waterproof LED lighting to highlight the pool. There are many different waterproof LED lights available with varying colors, so you could choose a variation for different times of the evening or different social gatherings altogether.
