For most pool owners, creating a welcoming and inviting environment around your pool is almost as important to the use of that pool as the design of the pool itself. By creating a space that is welcoming and relaxing, you can rest assured that all guests who experience your pool deck area will find it comfortable to be there. Try enhancing the aesthetics of your pool and its surrounding areas with the following ideas:

• Seating- Comfort is key when relaxing poolside so make sure to provide plenty of seating and lounging areas. We love teak furniture for its unmatched natural beauty as it's extremely durable and naturally water-resistant. Check out our extensive selection of outdoor teak furniture for a beautiful, natural touch that blends in with any space decor.
• Landscaping - Adding greenery and color around your pool not only improves the natural beauty of the area but provides for shade during summer days and pool parties. Include taller and more lush plants to provide needed privacy or to hide ugly pool equipment, fences or AC units. 

• Decor - Adding your unique touch to your pool and deck is easy with a variety of pool accessories and creative touches. We like Aqua Art's custom pool mats. They take any decor theme and turn the bottom of your pool into a canvas. Simply lay down the swimming pool art and beautify what is normally a blank and boring space. Add finishing touches with water and fire features, attractive decking material and other elements that add to your theme.

  

• Lighting and sound - Night-time pool use can be both soothing and romantic with the right lighting. Whether you prefer tiki torches, heat lamps or solar-powered landscape lighting, illuminating the porch and deck area of your pool not only makes it attractive but adds to the safety element also.
