Add a Touch of Class to Your Pool Without Breaking Your Budget!

Last updated on September 12, 2018 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Have you ever watched a TV show highlighting celebrity lifestyles and found yourself practically drooling over the luxurious outdoor spaces owned by the rich and famous? The good news is that you can still create your own little slice of opulent backyard paradise even if you’re not a movie star. Here are some clever tips for creating some high-end ambiance on a budget.

Put on a Light Show

If you want to keep the party going in style after dark, adequate pool lighting is a must. To add a touch of class to your poolside patio at night, you can hang some elegant-looking globe string lights like the ones illuminating the courtyards of luxury hotels.

Another great lighting option for enhancing the look of your pool is floodlights. These can be hidden among your landscaping to create dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. You can add excitement or holiday cheer with different colored floodlights.

Change Outdoors in a Classy Cabana

A tropical-style cabana for changing doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. With a little ingenuity, elbow grease, and quality exterior paint, transforming a simple garden shed into a cabana is a cinch. Personalize your new cabana as you see fit with items such as potted plants, elaborate wall decals, and hanging kites or chimes.

The interior of your cabana can mimic a seaside cabin. Include your favorite amenities like insulated containers filled with chilled drinks, a changing area complete with convenient hooks for hanging wet garments, and some comfortable waterproof seating.

Landscape for a Look of Luxury

A quick way to take your poolside area to the next level is to upgrade your landscaping. This endeavor doesn’t have to be expensive. Look for sales on hardy perennial plants at your local garden center. These can often be found near the end of the season. Make sure to pay attention to which plants tend to thrive in your climate zone. You can ask the staff at a local plant nursery for advice on low-maintenance, affordable options.

Search for more landscaping materials at your area home renovation centers. If you’re willing to think outside the box, you can accumulate a whole host of eclectic clearance-priced items like pottery and rocks. Strategically place them around your yard to create the customized outdoor space of your dreams.

Festive and Fanciful Floats

A relatively inexpensive yet whimsical way to add pizzazz to your pool is including floating elements on the surface of the water. This is an exceptional idea for backyard gatherings. These floating decorations can be anything from romantic Chinese lanterns to fun inflatables, to realistic-looking floral arrangements. With the variety and affordability of floating decorations now available, you can change up your pool’s look to go along with different seasons and holidays throughout the year. Mix and match to create your own unique backyard oasis.

When it comes to making the most out of your pool decor, don’t let budgetary concerns intimidate you. With a little imagination and smart shopping, you can project the look of a lavish lifestyle without a celebrity-sized budget!
