How to update your poolside furniture

Before you shop for furniture you need to consider your unique lifestyle, decorating taste and the amount of work you want to put into swimming pool furniture upkeep. Yes, some swimming pool furniture will require upkeep and maintenance.

Here are our shopping and decorating thoughts:

1. Styles. What style do you want? Eclectic? Modern? Warm and welcoming? Do you want the style to mimic your home style and decor or contrast it? What furniture can you get as a set that will perform double duty (a side table that doubles as a storage container, for example)
2. Material. Do you want wrought iron, cedar, composite materials? Some of these are easier to care for, others (wood for example) will require special care. They are all unique and comfortable, you just need to understand there may be upkeep and maintenance required.
3. Fabric. What kind of fabric and material do you want for the cushions? Chances are you will want cushions as it may be uncomfortable to sit on composite or bamboo furniture, for example, without cushions. Choose materials that can withstand chlorine-soaked bathing suits and sunshine and outdoor elements. Look for materials that are easily cleaned and that will dry quickly. This is also when you will choose the colors, patterns and styles for the cushions and those materials will set the tone for the look and feel of the outdoor space.

Choose wisely and you will have furniture that you can enjoy for decades to come. Talk with us if you are looking for some insight and advice on furniture styles and outdoor pool area set-up for maximum use.
