Pool Remodeling Ideas Which Modernize Your Space

By Catalina Nielsen


Even if you are not thinking of selling now, it is helpful to know that pool remodeling and repairs can increase your property value. If a house has an existing older swimming facility, it may be in bad shape or simply outdated. What that will say to future buyers is that your home has a yard full of work in it rather than them seeing the recreational value.

One thing to do is to expand the pool rectangle. Instead of having a cement rectangle filled with water, you may expand the area by giving it curves and a terrain change. You can as well soften the geometric edges out by adding a rounded spa, surrounding the space with faux rocks, and even adding a waterfall.

You will barely recognize the former rectangle after your remodeling process is complete. In case your pool structure has an outdated white plaster sides and bottom, consider re-surfacing using any pebble technology product. Re-surfacing by applying pebble-tech can improve durability as well as add the resemblance of a natural lake, pond or ocean bottom.

An individual could also do something else simple like moving, replacing or adding ladders to get in and out with. One can as well add items such as a slide or diving board, if it is safe to do so. All of these things are simple changes that will make the area more enjoyable during the summer months.

In case your current landscape has flowerless shrubbery which are pruned into shapes of different kind, a lawn that has to be mowed or one overhead light with a dome on your porch, then you have to change it. Try to add a couple of dramatic touches which may include palm trees, several varieties of flowering plants or resort-like lighting. Doing such things would certainly improve the surrounding landscape.

Another way to bump up the ambiance of your backyard is to add a sound system. Program your sound system with the sounds of drums, ukuleles, and vocal Hawaiian music and hardwired speakers to play on your back porch. Pick up a rattan bar with matching bar stools and position them under your covered patio near the entrance of your facility. Stock your pool bar with one or more ice bucket, plastic made glassware and a sizable supply of those tiny paper umbrellas which can turn an ordinary drink into one that seems exotic. Also try to incorporate some wind chimes and seashells of different sizes.

You can add a waterfall to help circulate water in your system. This will not just help with improving your water quality but it will also make the area look much more serene. One can as well choose to add a fountain in the end that can also help circulate water and allow you to enjoy the calming sounds as you lounge on the new deck.

You do not have to settle for a boring backyard. By embarking on a full pool remodeling task and enhancing your landscape decorations, anyone can create his own tropical paradise. Imagine such a yard waiting outside the doorstep of your sliding glass door, certainly you will not have to fly far away just to have a good time.
