Does your friend’s pool look just like your other friend’s pool and so on and so on? Do you want to add your unique style to your outdoor living space to keep friends and family ooh-ing and aahh-ing every time they see your swimming pool and your outdoor living space.
The swimming pool contractors from Tipton Pools, In Knoxville, Tennessee understand that your backyard and outdoor living space doesn’t have to be merely functional. Consider the fact that you will probably spend as much time out of the pool — probably more — than you do in the water, you can see how having a fabulous outdoor living space makes sense!
Add your unique style to your outdoor living space
Your swimming pool area should be one that appears to welcome you with open arms. Your pool and outdoor living space should be an oasis from the world, work and any stresses you’re under. If you look at the outdoor living and are are either “meh” about it or truly don’t find it relaxing and welcoming, this should be the season you wrap your arms around what you want and work with your pool contractor to breathe that new life into your pool space.
- Know yourself and your style. Do you love art deco? Do you want to walk into the pool space and feel as though you’ve walked into another world? A rainforest? A secluded glen? An area with a gazebo or tents with gauzy material that lures you in and you have no choice but to relax?
- Do you want the pool and its outdoor living space to mimic the feel and color of your home’s decor?
- Do you want to feel as though you’re at one with nature? Plant flowers and trees that enhance that feeling. Install a misting unit and put in a couple drops of your favorite essential oil.
- Don’t have enough of a budget for a pool house or gazebo? How about movable umbrellas and hammocks? Never underestimate the beauty and relaxation of a hammock.
- How about having the sound of a “babbling brook” to enhance the feeling of relaxation? Consider adding a Zen garden with a water fountain feature. The water can cascade down a tiny rock waterfall to add to the beauty and your oneness with nature.
- Do you want your backyard space to be glitz and shabby chic? Outfit the area with vintage items — lamps, tables, chairs and even long dangling bejeweled pulls on the outdoor lighting. Use velvet pillows as throws, but keep in mind if they get wet they will likely get ruined — they should be for show only.
- Add strings of twinkling solar lights through out the trees and the backyard space. Add in some solar powered lights along the walkways and strategically placed in the outdoor space.
- If you want more of a party feel — use tiki torches and paper chandeliers and other decorating items like Chinese lanterns and loud, busy-fabric covered furniture.
You know your unique style best. Embrace it in your outdoor space and work with your pool contractor to realize the dream.
