How to spruce up your pool house

With the summer upon us, one of the best assets of your home is your outdoor living area. And if your home has a pool, it’s no secret that you and your family will be spending countless hours in the backyard. If you’re looking to add some more life to your outdoor living space, but don’t know how, consider converting your pool house from a simple storage area into a dynamic, multi-functional outdoor living area.

While there are countless ways to spruce up your pool house, there are a few in particular that are growing in popularity:

Kitchen

There’s no need to take a break from the pool to run through the house while you’re soaking wet to get food or drinks for your guests. Keep the outdoor fun outdoors by installing a kitchen in your pool house, allowing you and your guests to have everything they need right at their fingertips.

Don’t think you need a whole kitchen? Adding a bar can bring just as much entertainment, heightening your poolside experience.

Patio

Attach a patio or pergola on the side of your pool house for a perfect spot to relax in the sun in between your dips in the pool.

Lighting

Installing creative lighting around your pool house will ensure that you can use your outdoor living space any time of day. Add in-ground lights leading up to the pool house, or a statement chandelier inside, so everyone can see, and use, your outdoor living space even after the sun sets.

Statement pieces

Add a fun statement piece to the outside of your pool house to catch the eye of every guest you entertain. Sliding glass doors, beautiful stone siding, or a fireplace are just a few options that will grab everyone’s attention and will make your pool house feel just as comfortable as your home.
