Pool Area Ideas for Comfort & Style

Reinvesting in your beloved in-ground pool is one of the best ways to make your home more desirable and to make swimming and lounging out back even more satisfying. These pool area ideas center on pergolas, pavilions, or cabanas with the same goal — bringing beauty and comfort to your pool!

Simple, effective, and absolutely beautiful — this is a pool area idea that can enhance any space. Placing a full-coverage pavilion (with open sides) in close proximity to the pool provides a handful of benefits. Firstly, it allows you to lounge in the shade without missing what’s going on in the water — which is particularly important for parents. In addition, this shaded space can also work as an outdoor dining area for eating your meals poolside, just like at a resort!

When the only thing your backyard pool needs to be perfect is a vertical touch to enhance the look, this is just the thing. Placing a pergola poolside creates an immediate upscale ambience that makes a big impact. From a distance, the sleek and tall profile of the pergola provides an added visual dimension to the space. If you need an extra shade structure, simply customize your new pergola with a shade canopy!

Being able to get changed directly by your pool is one of the ultimate convenience factors. A fully-enclosed cabana space makes this a reality. While you’ll primarily use this space for changing clothes without heading back into the house, you can also throw the doors open and make your cabana a shaded poolside overlook. These practical benefits come with the stylistic advantage of bringing another high-end touch to your pool!
