From Drab to Fab: A Pool Deck Transformation

From Drab to Fab: A Pool Deck Transformation

Transforming an outdated pool deck into a stunning retreat might seem like a big challenge, but with a little creativity and some inspiration, you can achieve amazing results. Stylist Liz Amaya undertook this task, turning her pool area into a tropical paradise reminiscent of the beautiful island of Bora Bora.

Planning Your Transformation

Liz emphasizes the importance of planning and budgeting. Start by researching ideas and creating a budget. A mood board can be incredibly helpful for visualizing your ideas and keeping you inspired throughout the project.

Choosing the Right Color

The first step in Liz's transformation was selecting the perfect color. She chose white paint for the deck, which created a fresh, bright base for her coastal-inspired design. The white deck beautifully complements the clear blue waters of the pool, resulting in a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Selecting Furniture and Plants

Next, Liz and her family had a great time picking out and arranging the furniture and plants. For a coastal-inspired look, they chose natural materials like wood and jute. These materials contribute to a relaxed, casual vibe. Adding potted plants brought the tropical theme to life, making the pool area feel like a true oasis.

Personal Touches

Liz particularly loved the shape of the Lucy pots she selected, which fit perfectly in her newly designed space. This shows how personal touches can significantly enhance the overall look and feel of your pool deck.

Achieving Your Dream Pool Deck

Liz's project proves that even a tired old pool deck can be transformed into a stunning outdoor space with minimal effort. With the right design elements and a clear vision, you can create a beautiful and functional pool retreat. Whether you're inspired by Bora Bora or another tropical paradise, let your imagination guide you to create your dream outdoor space.
