An in-ground pool is a fun place to spend time as a family or entertain guests. It gets even more enjoyable with attractive and comfortable furniture and decorations. Ask your pool contractor about these options for improving the pool itself and the area around it.

What to Add to Your In-Ground Pool

1. Tropical Scenery

When you think of the best places in the world to take a cool swim under the warm sun, you probably think of tropical islands and lagoons. While you can't transport your backyard to Hawaii, you can evoke some of the same feelings with tropical plants and sandy pool deck colors. If real tropical plants are too much maintenance, consider a realistic faux palm tree.

2. Waterfalls

The sound of pouring water is one of the most soothing sounds in nature, which is why waterfalls are such popular additions to in-ground pools. They also provide a place for your family to play and splash, making the pool more fun and exciting. Visually, a waterfall offers the chance to give the design of your pool some height, creating visual interest and breaking up the flat outline.

3. Stone Deck

The deck area around your pool provides a chance to tie in the decor with your house and landscaping. Consider natural stone tiles or bricks for paving. Not only do they have a rough texture that will help prevent slips, but they're also sturdy, low-maintenance, and come in a range of colors that will never fade.
