Do you dream of turning your poolside into the area where everyone gathers? A petite pool bar could be the perfect addition for changing your backyard into a supreme summer haven.
1. Small and Works Well
Create a small layout that is still stylish and useful. Thinking carefully about every bit is important, just like I did in a project where space was limited.
2. Water Feature
Add a water feature to add a peaceful detail to your bar area. I’ve designed spaces where the soft sound of water makes the whole mood better.
3. Charm With Stone and Wood
Use natural stone and wooden details for a down-to-earth but elegant look. These materials work well with outdoor locations, making a classic appeal.
4. Awe-Inspiring Pergola Coverage
A pergola above your pool bar gives a sense of sophistication while providing necessary shade. I planned a space where the pergola created a superb spot for hanging beautiful plants.
5. Comfort Lighting
Make your pool bar better with comfort lighting for night time events. I used fairy lights to create a magical twilight vibe that kept the party going way past sunset.
6. Moveable Bar
Choose a moveable bar for convenience and ease of use. I love telling clients about this if they want to host without setting up things permanently.
7. Tropical Bar Feel
Make a tropical bar for that vacation feel right at home. I’ve watched this idea turn simple spaces into interesting getaways.
8. New and Simple
Use a new simple style with clean lines and smooth surfaces. This style is great if you enjoy a current look, which I’ve seen in many elegant outdoor areas.
9. Full Greenery
Put lots of plants around your pool bar to make a peaceful, natural feel. Plants make the space look better and make the mood more relaxing.
10. Storage That’s Part of the Design
Add storage that’s part of the design to keep your bar neat and tidy. I always tell clients to do this if they want to keep a clean, smooth area.
11. Seats That Change
Think about seats that change to meet different needs. This is great for small spaces, which I’ve used to make the most of small areas.
12. Personal Touches
Add personal details like decorations to give your pool bar character. I’ve assisted clients with unique touches that show off their style.
13. Eco-Friendly
Use eco-friendly materials to design a sustainable and stylish pool bar. This not only helps the planet but adds a special touch to your space.
14. Seating Under Water
Set up underwater high chairs for a swim-up experience that guests will appreciate. It’s a smart way to get the most out of the space and provide a special feature by the pool.
