Summers at your house are measured in cannonballs, sunburns, and intense games of Marco Polo. Your backyard pool is the centerpiece of the season–you spend more time on the pool deck than any other room in your home. Shouldn’t your pool deck reflect the same style you’ve created inside your home? Shouldn’t it be a space built for luxury and ultimate relaxation? Here’s how you can make that happen, and refresh your pool deck just in time for summer.
Close your eyes and picture your ideal summer afternoon by the pool. What does it look like? Maybe The Beach Boys are crooning to you from the record player–something about surfin’ USA or how it would be nice if you were older for one reason or another. The smell of charcoal hangs in the air as the grill heats up for lunch. Your skin glistens with sunscreen, SPF 50, still tingling at the thought of last weekend when you fried to a crisp.
You’ve got the right sounds, the right smells, now it’s time to relax. A cold drink in hand, you stretch out on–what? Maybe it’s on the clean, sleek lines of a classic teak lounger. After all, the Barlow Tyrie Capri Standard Teak Lounger has been gracing pool sides for years, why not add it to your pool deck? You can sit upright and watch the kids splash away, or fully recline to catch a few well-deserved z’s in the sun. Whatever you choose, rest assured the lounger’s different positions can be adjusted with ease.
For ultimate comfort, add a cushion or throw pillow. For ultimate convenience, add the clip-on tray so your favorite drink or snack will always stay within reach.
Maybe teak is your game, but you’re feeling more of an ocean liner aesthetic for your pool deck. To create that perfect cruise deck look, you might find yourself soaking up some rays on the Kingsley-Bate Teak Steamer Chair. The rich teak is paired with brass hardware for a classic, yet durable finish. Add a cushion or throw pillow and you may never move from this spot all summer.
An added bonus of the steamer chair? The footrest is removable to transform it to a simple lounge chair, and the entire piece folds for easy storage. True selling points for that husband or wife who’s a stickler for storage space.
Picture your pool deck again. What could you add that could really, truly create the ultimate luxury experience? Hopefully you’re thinking hammock, because that is the height of luxury, friend.
The La Siesta Alabama Quilted Kingsize Spreader Bar Hammock will transform your pool deck into a stylish, relaxation station you’ll never want to leave. This is a king-size hammock. With a built-in pillow and padded lying surface, you could easily pull your hat over your eyes and swing into a deep sleep not achieved since you were a baby. The hammock is waterproof and dries quickly, so even if your children aim their cannonball splashes toward you (rude), you can be sure it won’t stay wet for long.
Hopefully you’re filled with images of how luxurious and stylish your pool deck can be this summer with a quick refresh. Now, really, don’t forget that sunscreen!
