Creating a Relaxing Poolside Retreat: Outdoor Furniture Ideas

There's something so amazing about being outside in the sunshine. But a Florida summer can be brutal unless you've got a body of water to enjoy. That's why so many homeowners love their backyard pools. 

A pool in itself is a huge boost to your summer. Now imagine if you took it a step further and made it a real retreat for you and your loved ones. The good times you could have! 

After you've got your main staples, like the pool and landscaping, it's time for the next phase. Check out these pool furniture ideas that will really step up your backyard oasis! 

Vary Seating Options

When it comes to a poolside layout, one of the keys to success is variety. Having a couple of different seating options can make your time outdoors much more enjoyable. 

Think about how you'd ideally like to use the pool space. It could be for entertaining or just for spending quiet time in the water. Either way, you can then create spaces just for those purposes. 

Don't forget about the furniture for the pool as well. Lounge chairs in a zero-entry space scream luxury! 

Don't Forget About Shade

The focus of poolside designs is often on creating places for people to sit. That's definitely an important factor, but don't forget about creating shade. It's a key piece to being able to really relax in the space.

There are a couple of ways to create some shade beyond planting trees that will grow tall to consider. You could go the traditional umbrella route. Or make it a bigger area with a permanent shade structure. 

Either way, shade makes it safer to be outdoors (and much more enjoyable!). 

Add a Dining Area

Too often a day in the sun is cut short because everyone gets hungry. Don't let the need to eat ruin your pool party!

All you need to do is be sure you have a dining area anyone can visit when the cravings strike. Be sure you have a big enough table and some comfy chairs! Take it to the next level by creating a whole outdoor kitchen

Create a Statement 

A backyard pool is always a huge highlight for the house, but that's no reason to skate by on the poolside decor. The right choices can really make the space a statement of your style. 

Think about how you can bring texture, pattern, and color into your poolside seating. The poolside shade can even be an opportunity to show off!
