Your outdoor swimming pool should be the focal point of your backyard. If designed and landscaped well, it can add a tremendous amount of curb appeal to your backyard and property overall. If you are curious to know how you can make your outdoor swimming more appealing to the eye, here are some easy things you can do!
Water Features
When you want your outdoor swimming pool to feel more luxurious, incorporate some water features. They do not have to be overly extravagant; a small waterfall will add a dimension of tranquility to your backyard. They are an attractive option that every pool owner should consider. Water bowls and fountains are also an easy addition, providing a soothing sound and an elegant, contemporary look to your pool.
Fire Features
Talk about bringing the heat to your curb appeal! Fire features, like fire bowls and fire pits, are wonderfully paradoxical to your pool and create a unique balance to your pool’s design. Not only do they offer warmth on a chilly night and extend the amount of time you spend in your backyard, but the flickering flames reflecting on the water’s surface are also sure to mesmerize your guests.
Lighting Features
It’s amazing how just a few lighting fixtures around a pool can add a level of ambiance. Imagine how cool it would be to be able to go swimming at night. If you are the kind of person who likes to entertain, you should think about incorporating some lighting fixtures in or around your swimming pool. If you do, you and your guests will be able to enjoy those beautiful summer nights by your pool.
String lights are a popular choice and easy to install in the landscaping surrounding your pool. You may even want to renovate your pool to include LED lighting.
Color
If you are looking for a way to make your swimming pool more modern, consider adding some color. There are all sorts of fun ways you can do this. Change out the white and blue tiles for bolder shades like green or even red.
An easy way to incorporate color is through your outdoor furniture such as in-pool furniture, umbrellas, lounge chairs, and dining sets. Choose pieces that are modern and have bright colors and patterns. Another way to add a pop of color to your swimming pool is through landscaping.
Landscaping
Plants by your pool will create an organic and earthy feel to your property. There are many different kinds of plants that you can choose to plant around your swimming pool. If you want to incorporate color into your landscape, consider planting some vibrant flowers and lush green ferns. Just be sure not to plant them too close to your pool to prevent leaves from falling into the water.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping is often the unsung hero of pool design, yet it can make an incredible impact on your pool’s curb appeal. Instead of going with plain old concrete, consider stamped concrete in different colors or lovely stonework or modern tilework.
