Tips for a swimming pool remodel
The most popular trend right now is the outdoor living space remodel. Families want an outdoor space that is as comfortable and luxurious as their living room and this is especially true if they have a swimming pool. The pool, as a matter of fact, is the centerpiece of the outdoor remodeling project fro many.
Outdoor living space remodels involve building a pool house or a gazebo, adding an outdoor kitchen, lighting, a swim up bar, a hot tub or spa in one end of the pool, a waterfall and even a grotto behind the waterfall. When an outdoor living space remodel is undertaken the homeowners typically opt for energy efficient products and upgrades to the pool as well as the living space itself.
Whether you want a look that is natural and includes the addition of rock formations, boulders or other rock structures or a more serene feel by adding fountains, waterfalls and stone steps. You can add sun shelves to the pool, infinity edge pools if you have a yard with a view and even a pool heater.
Adding in-pool lighting, in the floor and walls and along the edges of the deck adds to ambiance as well as the safety for those who swim and relax poolside after the sun has gone down. LED lighting can add beauty and interest to the outdoor seating area. You can add lights that are able to be operated with a remote control and you can choose lights that you can change the color of the lighting to suit the particular mood. Don’t forget to look at the path you take to get from the pool to the house and determine whether that needs to be lighted as well.
Truly bring indoor living to the outdoors when you add a custom kitchen and fireplace. You can add a gourmet kitchen, oven, and more along with an outdoor grill. Many pool owners who want to stay out of the kitchen will add fully stocked cupboards, a sink or even a dishwasher so they don’t have to go into the house at all when meal prep time arrives.
The outdoor seating area should be fully comfortable and functional with furniture, storage areas, side tables and any other items you’d like to have incoporated to make it feel as though you’re relaxing in your living room. Many pool owners will add in a wine refrigerator, a stereo system and a television so they can while away the hours in comfort.
