If, for example, you have children, it is advisable to avoid sharp corners. If the pool is pleasant both to the body and to your eyes, then undoubtedly the "mission" has been successfully carried out.

The surrounding area of a swimming pool

The built edge and the "beach"

The shape of the rim you choose for your pool is very important. The most practical type is slightly elevated from the surface of the water and has a relative slope upwards, which prevents the flow of currents of water and debris that may be directed towards the basin. At the same time, bathers can easily grab the edge and get out of the pool safely, even if they are at a great depth.
The shape and design of the rim significantly affects the aesthetic "assimilation" of the pool within the space. If you want to show off the blue color of the basin and its shape, then choose a distinctive rim that blends with the surface of the water. However, if you want to accentuate the lip design, then you will end up with a raised construction that stands out. In any case, the rim is the "connecting link" between the surrounding space and the pelvis.
Regarding lip extension, Mr exterior of the pool is dedicated to absolute comfort. It is a place designed by you for you. This particular setting must be distinguished by its spaciousness, ergonomics and comfort. The draft is more than necessary for the correct placement of all the decorative elements that you choose to include. One or more tables, umbrellas and sun loungers are intended to surround the pool, so the choice of stylistic cladding is extremely important for a harmonious environment. It is important that the arrangement of the furniture and the philosophy of the decoration reflect your personal taste and fully satisfy your needs, because only in this way will you feel truly at home. Do not try to faithfully copy the most flashy pages of magazines, if they do not represent you completely. Put your personal "signature" by combining various more or less geometric structures that attract your eye and make you particularly proud of the result.

The built elements

The "end" of the pool house

In the past, when for most people the swimming pool was considered the ultimate, unattainable luxury, the pool house almost always accompanied its construction. However, when the swimming pool began to transform into an elegant asset for recreation and rejuvenation, restraint came. Today, the areas surrounding the pool have less pretentious spaces and are clearly more functional. An outdoor barbeque or a mini-kitchen that does not take up much space is the best, while, if space allows, a bar is also a successful option. It is also observed that the shower area tends to be closer to the basin, in contrast to less modern constructions, where the showers were at a distance.

Waterfall or fountain?

These are two types that have been in fashion in recent years. Their role clearly serves the need to impress, since the beautiful visual, sound and light details they produce are uniquely combined with the pool water. The variety is huge and covers all tastes. Roman-style fountains, taps, pitchers or traditional water jugs that gush water are the ultimate chic trend that is making waves. The metal details "marry" harmoniously with pools of a more sophisticated construction, while the innovative artificial waterfalls splash over rocks, creating a highly idyllic atmosphere.

A little further away...

The garden

We could say that the natural space of the pool is the garden. However, what we must be careful of here is exaggeration. Try to create a garden with uniform vegetation, without mismatched combinations. For example, do not plant exotic trees in the same space as the shrubs. Make those choices that will preserve the harmony of the landscape and try to remain "faithful" to all those plants that thrive in the specific soil, without attempting experimentation. If you insist, then at least make sure to plant the plants in different places from each other. Also avoid thorny plants, such as cacti, and flower beds with sharp corners, especially when children are roaming around the pool area. Instead, prefer to sow lawn grass on the lawn, the best way to walk comfortably without shoes. For its watering, a good automatic watering system will ensure the proper moisture and elasticity of the soil. If you dream of an exotic pool with crystal green waters, plant shrubs and plants with dense leaves around the basin or combine palm trees with an artificial carpet in the color of sand. Finally, do not forget that proper watering is vital for the life of your garden and the aesthetics of the pool area.

...And the beneficial aspect of lighting

If you are looking for the ultimate in aesthetics, then lighting will show you the way! Transform the surrounding area of the pool with waterproof lighting inside the basin. Install incandescent spotlights, halogen projectors or electrovoltaic diodes and enjoy atmospheric night dives or beautiful evenings around the water. For a unique result, combine different lighting systems and hidden spots. The colors that will appear in the water will surpass even the most beautiful representations of your imagination.
