How to renew the swimming pool and its own choosing furniture

• In the garden, use plants at different heights as design landscape designer Cornelia Von Ammon

After little use during the colder months, the pool area is beginning to gain more attention with the arrival of warm weather. So, before receiving friends and family, how about renewing the ambiance of the place of leisure with simple maintenance solutions and specific changes in the decoration and gardening?

The tail end of winter and early spring are a good time to carry out the annual maintenance of the environment. To start, enjoy the rains are not so intense to clean and maintain clear drivers of water as the drains and the drains of the garden

The interior designer, Fabio  Galeazzo, advises to do a thorough cleaning in the coatings, following the instructions of the material manufacturer. "In the case of natural stone floors, for example, a proper cleaning and well made gives an impressive result, changes the space," says Galeazzo, who still recommends redoing the grout pads or ceramic floors that are damaged.

Recover!

Before investing in new furniture or enhance the garden pool area, pay attention to what can retrieve and / or give a new face, such as walls and decks. For surfaces with faded ink, a simple repaint with a new key takes effect "miracle."

Another alternative is to insert a different finish on the main wall only which generally is that which is at the bottom of the pool. For example, make a textured paint or install a trellis of wood or bamboo. On this structure, several species of plants, such as vines, can be arranged.

And if the wood deck is unrecoverable, the architect points out how good substitutes the porcelain slip, the standard wood and finished edge pool.

Give an "up"

- For the cushions and upholstery of chairs, sofas and futons to stay around the pool, a suggestion is to change only the tissues. Choose acrylic, because they are resistant to weathering. 

- Play with colors: these tissues mentioned above or even other accessories used in the pool, elect vibrant colors like turquoise, orange and yellow. However, for those who like pastel tints, use the various light colors together, ie, merge items in various shades to make texture.

- If the desire is to acquire furniture pieces for this environment, invest in versatile furniture like stools that become side tables support or a small table with chairs that serves light meals or to just sit and chat with friends. Less "mutable", the loungers are also functional, comfortable and well decorate this type of space, worth investing generally higher.

- If the pool area does not have a space protected from the sun, an alternative gazebos are precast, easy installation, or even ombrelone. The latter can be used along with sun loungers, chairs and tables in the protection, either attached to the side or center of the unit. 

CHOOSE FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES FOR STYLISH POOL AREA

- The larger the green area is the most comfortable environment. Therefore, designing the site landscaped or even redo the existing garden are good alternatives. However, the two situations require the help of a professional to design and assembly. To perform an inviting place, the landscaper will analyze the habits of the residents, the physical space and the incidence of the sun and wind.

- A landscape architect Cornelia Von Ammon suggests inserting a more elaborate design with the use of plants at different heights, so that the garden get moving. Avoid species that are sharp and adopt the leaves wider, because if they fall in the pool, minimize maintenance costs. "The species vary widely according to the placement of the garden and space, soil and sunlight, but like a lot of the genus Heliconia" points.

- For the fans of the "do it yourself", the landscaping in pots can be a way out. Simpler vary on time, the containers can be used together. There is even the possibility to buy them already trained in varied patterns and values. However, by the pool, think of the movement: give preference to FLOWERPOTS and vessels arranged along a wall or pillar, outside the area of ​​greatest traffic.
