Make Your Backyard Pool Area Feel Like a Resort With These Landscaping and Lighting Tips

Last updated 3 months ago

Few people can live year-round at a five-star resort, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your backyard look and feel like one. By incorporating resort-inspired patios, cabanas and decks, installing inventive lighting, and integrating impressive water features into your backyard landscape, you’ll never have to check out of your own personal resort. Here are some tips how:

Incorporate custom patio features. By taking note of what colors and textures are being used by the artists who decorate top hotels, you can give your outdoor areas the exact feel you remember from your favorite vacation spot. Take note of the patio styles and tile patterns you like. This will help you design a backyard oasis that integrates the glass of that sleek Las Vegas high-rise resort or the stonework of that quaint Italian grotto you can’t forget.
Bring in inventive lighting. Unique pool and patio lighting will bring sophistication to any outdoor design. Hotel patios often use soft or colored lighting to craft a sense of intimacy. These tricks can easily be incorporated into any pool area to recreate that sense of hotel elegance in your space.
Integrate an impressive water feature. Adding a waterfall to your pool design lends a sense of drama. A spa can also provide a striking centerpiece to a pool area, especially when tiled in your favorite pattern or pebble texture. Vanishing-edge installments also lend a theatrical element to your design. The same fixtures chosen by the designers who make luxury hotels beautiful can be brought into your backyard oasis.

Making your backyard feel like a resort is possible. By paying attention to what you like, you and your landscape designer will be able to make your home pool area rival those at your favorite luxury hotels. Whether you’d like to construct a new waterfall or work with a designer to chose a new tile pattern, Texas Pools and Patios can help.
