One of the most dramatic ways to improve the look of your backyard is to give your pool a makeover. While your pool may be functional, a pool remodel can make it the centerpiece of your outdoor entertaining area. Adding stone, tiles or fire features can transform your boring pool into a beautiful piece of outdoor art.
Pool Remodel Ideas
There are many ways to change the look of your pool in order to enhance your patio area and backyard. While some can cost thousands of dollars, there are also options that may only set you back a few hundred dollars, yet can still make a dramatic difference in your pool’s appearance. Here are a few pool remodeling ideas:
- Add a fire pit. Fire pits have become a popular pool accessory, giving off fantastic effects against the water, especially at night. These can be incorporated with a small waterfall to blend the elements of fire and water effects.
- Pool Resurfacing. One of the best ways to update the look of your pool is to resurface with beautiful colors and textures. Mosaic tiles, pebbles and even beads can be used to resurface your pool and make it the jewel of your backyard.
- Pool decking. Changing the decking or waterline surface around your pool can add new life to your patio. Popular choices are travertine or natural stone, ceramic tiles or even glass tiles.
- Baja step. Give your pool a resort-style look by adding a Baja step or shelf. These shallow pool areas contain only about six inches of water and make a perfect place to lounge in the sun, staying cool at the same time.
Just adding a few improvements to your pool can make a big difference to your backyard, making it more inviting and even increasing the value of your home.
