Improving Your Home

Want to transform your backyard pool into a hidden oasis? It's not as hard as you think. There are several things you can do that will completely transform your space and make your pool the envy of all your friends and family.

Upgrade Your Lighting

Consider upgrading the lighting both in and around your pool area. It's a good idea to have a variety of lighting both on the walls and the floor of the pool for the best results. For a dramatic look, you could install colored lights or you could even have a solar panel installed that produces varied light shows.

There are also lighting waterfalls that create a waterfall type of look through the use of lights. In addition to enhancing the pool's appearance, this upgrade can also help you get more use out of your pool, making nighttime use safer.

Install Custom Mosaic Tile

Another great idea is to install custom mosaic tile. With this option, you can drastically change the appearance of your pool. If you're looking for something on the simpler side, you can install mosaic tiles in the same color.

However, if you want something more extravagant, you can go with a mural design or you could even have your family's name designed into the base of the pool. The idea is that you can have any type of design you want—it's all up to you. In addition to making the pool look better, this addition can also help increase the value of your pool and, therefore, the overall value of your home.

Ditch the Concrete Slab

If you have a plain concrete slab surrounding your pool, how about an upgrade? Concrete is cheap, durable, and common, but it is not the only option, and it can make you space look drab or dull. You could upgrade the space around your pool with something like tile.

To piggyback on the previous tip, you could even extend your mosaic tile design into this area. Another great option is marble if you want a more custom and extravagant look. Even if you don't do many other upgrades to the pool area, adding these additions can enhance your space and make it more unique than your neighbor's pool.

The idea is that when it comes to enhancing your space, the sky is the limit. If you want to go from enjoying a swim in the pool to thinking you're at a resort somewhere, get creative and enhance your pool.
