Planning to make your backyard the go-to hangout spot? Learn how to design a pool area that blends beauty, functionality, and entertainment—perfect for family gatherings and summer BBQs.
Your pool should be more than just a place to swim—it should be the heart of your outdoor entertaining space. At Iconic Pools, we believe every pool should feel like a private resort. Here are our top tips for creating a pool area that’s both stylish and functional:
Choose a pool that suits your space and lifestyle. For entertaining, consider larger models with built-in ledges or steps where guests can sit and chat. Our fiberglass pools come in a variety of modern shapes that cater to both fun and relaxation.
Outdoor lounges, daybeds, and shaded areas with umbrellas or pergolas will keep your guests comfortable. Make sure there’s a mix of seating options—sun-lovers and shade-seekers alike will thank you.
LED lighting in and around the pool can completely transform the mood. Add ambient lighting along pathways or underwater lights in different colors for a touch of drama after dark.
Make sure the layout allows for easy movement between the pool, dining, and lounging areas. This encourages conversation and helps everyone feel connected, whether they’re swimming or sipping drinks poolside.
Incorporate low-maintenance landscaping around your pool area using native plants or synthetic turf. Not only will it look great, but it’ll also cut down on yard work and keep your space party-ready year-round.
Whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ, a birthday bash, or a quiet evening with friends, your pool should be the centerpiece of your backyard oasis. At Iconic Pools, we help you bring that vision to life—from expert pool installation to design tips that elevate your outdoor living.
