Do you have an outdoor area with a pool that lacks the aesthetics you’ve always dreamt of? We’ve broken down the elements that will make your poolside area look more inviting for Summer, and here’s how!
1. Choose the right poolside furniture
Choosing your outdoor furniture will set the theme for your outdoor oasis. Wood, metal or resin and plastic furniture are among the most popular outdoor furniture options and are durable in all types of weather conditions. Each material has its pros and cons, so the furniture style choice is yours. However, it’s always great to have sun lounges by the pool to relax or read a book on. It can be tricky finding the material best suited to your outdoor area, luckily, we have some tips to make your decision just a little easier – you can read it here!
2. Accessorise
Accessorise your outdoor furnishings with pillows, throw blankets or towels, sun umbrellas, and floating pool decorations. Adding accessories to your outdoor space will make your poolside feel more relaxing and fun! You can even add some bean bags for some extra comfort while you chat with friends – the perfect spot to hang out this Summer.
3. Lighting
It’s all about lighting. Both warm and cool lighting is effective to have by the pool. Warm lighting gives off a soft glow; cool lighting is eye-catching and best used for feature lights. Mixing and matching such lighting can enhance your outdoor area, making it unique. Hanging or fairy lights are also a great way to amplify any outdoor setting to keep the party going into the night. Plus, you can also use string lights to dress up your plants, creating a magical effect! But, the question is, warm or cool lighting? There are no rules as to which one you should use!
4. Plants
Plants can bring your entertainment area to life and create an interesting, vibrant landscape. Green plants provide a clean, sophisticated look, a perfect match with aluminium furniture. Colourful fruit trees such as lemons, limes or oranges give a Mediterranean flare to your outdoor space and are perfect for juicing in Summer. Just imagine fresh cold juice by the pool on a hot day! If you’re looking to add pops of colour to your poolside, plant colourful flowering plants!
