There's no better home luxury than taking a dip in your own beautifully designed pool. But a pool should be more than just a body of water; it's the centrepiece of your outdoor living space. At Waterworks, we believe in creating pool areas that are not just functional but also embody the pinnacle of style and comfort. If you are considering a pool installation or upgrade for next summer, here are some essential features to consider when transforming your plain old poolside into a stylish outdoor oasis.
1. Water Features
A pool that sits still is a missed opportunity for elegance through movement. Water features such as cascading waterfalls, serene spillways, or playful fountains add effortless dynamic visuals and create a soothing soundscape. Water features are always a big hit with younger swimmers, while the gentle sound of water can transport you to a state of relaxation akin to a spa retreat while you relax near the pool.
2. Lighting
As the day transitions to night, lighting can play a transformative role in setting the mood. Strategically lighting your pool and surrounding area can highlight architectural features, illuminate pathways, and even change the colour of your pool water for various effects. Poolside lighting can create a romantic mood, keep the party rolling, or start winding everyone down before bed, depending on your choice of intensity and colour.
LED lights are energy-efficient and can be controlled via smart home systems, giving you ambiance on demand.
3. Poolside Lounging
Most pool owners believe their waterside area should be synonymous with comfort. Consider luxury loungers and daybeds or simple yet inviting seating so you can switch off and relax near your pool whenever you choose. Opt for weather-resistant materials in designs that complement your home's exterior and personal taste. If you prefer to be out of the sun, canopies or umbrellas can offer a respite from the sun while still allowing you to lounge near the pool.
4. Outdoor Kitchen and Bar
Entertaining is a breeze when you have a fully equipped outdoor kitchen or bar, but this one is a surefire favourite with the family. Nothing breaks the flow of the day like calling everyone in at mealtime. From built-in grills to refrigerators, having the amenities to cook and serve refreshments means no more heading inside for a bite or a beverage. A quick towel off, and you can refuel in your seated area before diving back into your pool uninterrupted. If your pool is for adults only, an outdoor bar sets the stage for evening cocktails by the water's edge, perfect for date nights and parties alike.
5. Fire Features
Fire and water may be opposing forces, but they harmonize perfectly poolside. Recapture those tropical evenings away with fire pits, providing warmth on cooler nights and creating a focal point for gathering and conversation. Firepits add a dramatic flair to evening swims, reflecting dancing flames on the water's surface, and can extend your evening just that little bit longer once everyone is relaxing at the poolside.
6. Landscaping
The right landscaping can transform a pool area into a verdant paradise. There’s nothing like it to reinvent your pool area and elevate its aesthetic from a home swimming pool to a luxurious backyard experience. Native plants are often lower maintenance, but creativity can shine once you know how to care for your landscape. Privacy hedges, flowering shrubs, and towering plants can all play a role in crafting your personal escape.
