Are you making the most of your pool? And we don’t just mean with a daily dip. Summer is officially here, which means we’re set to be spending even more time poolside. And in doing so, you might find yourself dreaming about how you might change yours for the better. Because a pool is so much more than something just for swimming in. It forms the centrepiece of an outdoor oasis: a place to unwind, entertain, and simply exist in the moment. In this blog post, we’re going to look at how to achieve the perfect poolscape for your very own slice of paradise.
What is Poolscaping?
At its most basic level, poolscaping encompasses the overall design, layout and surrounding features of a pool area. It focusses not only on the pool, but also the many other aspects that contribute to the space’s functionality, atmosphere and style. In addition to patios, decks and plants, this includes features such as outdoor bars, loungers and lighting. The purpose is to unify the pool and garden by creating an environment that is both cohesive and inviting. In turn, this helps to maximise both the space and your enjoyment of it.

Exterior Lighting
Often overlooked as an important outdoor feature for a poolscape, exterior lighting presents the perfect opportunity to elevate the style of your pool area. And there are a number of ways to illuminate your garden – from oversized lamps to stunning crystal pendants. Looking to achieve a relaxed ambience with a modern look and feel? The Contemporary Outdoor Lantern Set features a cascading candle effect with its rechargeable LED bulbs. Alternatively, you might wish to use luxury furniture as a light source – like the Modular Designer Garden Corner Sofa. Or perhaps you’ve got your sights set on something more glamorous, in which case our unique range of weather-resistant chandeliers might just hold the answer…
Outdoor Furniture
What better way to wow your guests than with a poolside party? A pool provides the perfect backdrop for al fresco drinking and dining, which makes outdoor bars and tables a key consideration when creating your poolscape. Adding this type of furniture helps to increase the opportunity for social interaction, making it ideal for hosting. And when you’re ready to relax, a luxurious lounger, chair or sofa set provides the perfect place to do just that.Being around water is proven to significantly improve both your physical and mental wellbeing. Therefore, having a number of zones for your different needs will allow you to optimise the space around your pool. And, by increasing the number of ways in which you can use the space around it, you’ll be able to maximise time spent soaking up the many benefits that come with having a pool.Creating the perfect poolscape isn’t about finding things that fit around a pool. Rather, it’s about finding ways to make your pool and its surrounding area fit around you; to suit your lifestyle. Only then can it become a space that you truly want to be, allowing you to unlock all of the rewards.
