Designing Your Dream Outdoor Space: Key Considerations

Before starting any outdoor upgrades, it is important to put together a plan. Consider how you will use the space—dining, lounging, swimming, or a combination. Think about the flow and functionality, and how guests will move through it during gatherings. Let us dive into our top outdoor upgrade recommendations:

Creating Seamless Transitions with Porcelain Pavers & Matching Tiles

Create a harmonious look by matching porcelain patio pavers and your interior porcelain tiles. This design choice creates a sense of continuity, expanding your living space.

Upgrading Your Pool with Stunning Mosaics

Transform your pool with beautiful and luxurious pool mosaics. These artistic additions add depth, character, and luxury to your poolscape. For families with children, consider creating an enchanting underwater world with mosaics of mermaids, tropical fish, and vibrant coral, creating a whimsical and immersive experience that will enhance their pool time fun.

Choose from glass or porcelain pool mosaics to match your home's overall aesthetic. Can’t find the perfect mosaic in our stock collection? A custom design could be the ideal solution! Whatever you envision, we can bring to life, transforming your pool oasis into a unique, breathtaking masterpiece.

Adding a Touch of Luxury with Glass Tile

Thinking of resurfacing or building a pool in time for the holidays? For an opulent, elegant look incorporate shimmering glass tiles in your swimming pool. From stunning waterlines to all-glass tile pool finishes, this upgrade will create an inviting, modern space that will entice you and your guests all year long. 

Glass pool tile offers unparalleled functional benefits. When expertly installed, glass tile is the longest-lasting, most durable pool finish available. They are low-maintenance, UV-resistant, and resistant to stains and fading. Plus, as a 100% recyclable material, it is an eco-friendly choice you can feel great about.

Creating a Cozy Ambiance with Fire Features

An outdoor fire feature adds ambiance and warmth to your home. It creates a welcoming space for you and your guests. Enjoy cool evenings, roast marshmallows, and enjoy lively conversation. A fire bowl or table adds ambiance and helps create unforgettable moments with your loved ones.

If you have a pool, consider adding fire and water combination bowls around the pool edge. The calming sounds of running water coupled with the sultry dance of flickering flames create a tantalizing ambiance that will enhance any outdoor gathering you host!

Enhancing Poolside Relaxation with the Perfect Outdoor Furniture

Upgrade your pool and patio area with comfortable and stylish outdoor furniture. Add outdoor tables, daybeds, and in-pool loungers for sunbathing or enjoying the sunset. Take the Kai Shelf Lounger, for example. These ergonomically designed, beautiful pool loungers provide an unmatched experience where you can soak up the sun and cool off in the pool, all at the same time. Or consider a chic bar credenza from Ledge Lounger for a piece that is as beautiful as it is functional. Any of these options will provide a space that is comfortable and full of style.

Using Porcelain Pavers to Transform Your Patio

Porcelain pavers offer luxurious appeal and durability with minimal maintenance. They are available in many sizes, colors, and styles and will complement your home's aesthetic and design vision. From wood-look options to natural stone imitations, a beautiful patio paver is the foundation for the outdoor space of your dreams.

Moreover, choosing high-quality porcelain patio pavers increases the value of your home, which is a long-term investment you should not ignore!

Outdoor upgrades extend to landscaping. Investing in landscaping provides enjoyment and often increases property value. Consider lush artificial turf for your lawn and backyard. Forget the hassle of landscaping maintenance and enjoy beautiful, green grass all year long!

Complete Your Paradise with Stylish Outdoor Accessories

Sometimes it is the small details that make the most impact on your space. The addition of unique planters sporting the season's flora is an effortless way to step up your outdoor entertainment area. 

Another small upgrade to consider is changing your outdoor pillows and cushions to something that matches the festive season. From pool lounger headrests to outdoor daybed pillows, matching accents throughout your outdoor space create a cohesive, inviting space.
