Whether it's a simple update, a water feature addition or a complete pool renovation, introducing new outdoor pool design ideas to your property can make all the difference. Here are a few benefits you and your guests will enjoy:
Your pool is often the centrepiece of your outdoor living space, so it's no surprise that remodelling will improve your home's overall visual appeal.
Something as simple as implementing new outdoor pool area lighting ideas can help an old pool look modern — it’s an easy way to liven up the atmosphere when you invite guests over, too!
Your property’s return on investment down the line will definitely exceed the costs you pay for your pool’s remodelling — especially if you show guests that you take great care of your property.
If you, later on, decide to sell your home, the revamped pool can be a selling point. Homebuyers are always keen to view unique features that will provide them with a unique ambience and a comfortable space to relax.
Remodelling your pool can be an opportunity to take advantage of new technology and smart applications so your pool can keep up with the trends.
Upgrading to energy-efficient pumps, heaters and lighting systems not only saves you money by reducing electricity bills but can also help you reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, you can install smart pool automation systems to simplify maintenance and allow you to access controls anywhere.
Do you have kids or pets who love to wander into your pool area without any supervision? Shallow ends or missing pool covers can be a safety issue and could cause accidents down the line.
The good news is that renovation or remodelling enables you to improve your pool safety standards. You can install pool covers, skid-proof decks, gripped steps and ladders and fortified fences to make your pool safer for children and pets.
From water features like water slides, waterfalls, fountains and scuppers to the addition of a jacuzzi or hot tub, these upgrades can turn an otherwise simple pool into a staple for your family and friends to visit during warmer days.
Here are a few outdoor pool area decorating ideas to get you inspired about revamping your pool:
Let's start with the foundation of any luxurious pool area — comfortable and stylish lounging.
Consider chic loungers, daybeds and balcony seats that offer comfort and complement the aesthetic of your outdoor space.
Your pool decking choice can greatly enhance your pool area. Consider options like travertine for a timeless look, wooden decking for warmth, modern concrete for a sleek appearance, versatile pavers or artistic tiles to create a unique design. Make your space stand out with the right decking material.
The art of landscaping isn't just about planting a few flowers or shrubs; it's about sculpting the very essence of your outdoor space. Imagine a verdant tapestry of lush greenery, where the soothing rustle of leaves and the fragrant blooms infuse the air with tranquillity and beauty.
Water features are not just a sight to behold; they also provide a serene ambience. Fountains, cascades and waterfalls can add an element of serenity to your outdoor pool area. Integrating these features into your design can elevate the overall luxury.
Cantilever umbrellas are a great addition to your pool area if you want to provide a more spacious area for rest and relaxation — they’re also perfect if you and your guests want some much-needed shade from the sun!
As the sun sets, ambient lighting, including the warm glow of outdoor fire pits, takes centre stage in creating a luxurious evening pool experience. Clean burning Ethanol fires are a great way to bring the firepit vibe into the pool area without creating any mess. String lights, lanterns and underwater lighting are just some outdoor pool area lighting ideas that can transform your pool area and ensure that it’s equally breathtaking even when it’s time for you to go night swimming.
An outdoor dining area is the perfect spot for al fresco dining with family and friends. Select stylish and functional dining furniture that seamlessly integrates into the design of your pool — we recommend looking for features that are easy to care for, like sun-resistant fabric for your chairs.
A poolside bar and entertainment area is the perfect addition to your backyard if you want to host more parties and gatherings for your guests. For the bar area, consider a built-in countertop and pick up some outdoor bar chairs, sold separately here. Or pick up a complete bar setting package with an all-weather aluminium, teak or ceramic top.
After a long day of swimming, a spa or jacuzzi area could be just what you need! Provided that you have the appropriate space and materials needed, installation won’t be too difficult. Just ask your contractor if your pool has a liner or fibreglass — you may need more expert help here.
Customising your umbrellas, towels and pool accessories can truly make your pool feel like your own — plus, having distinct designs means it’s easier to spot them for cleaning after use!
