Purpose
Before planning the design of your pool area, it is essential to define how you want to use it. Will it be a place for family recreation, exercise or relaxation? Will it serve as a place to entertain your colleagues and clients, or would you like it to be your play area? Consider factors such as the amount of shade, sun exposure, and other factors you want before deciding on its design.
Moreover, you should look at the interior and exterior of your house to know how the pool area design will complement your house’s natural look. You should spend some time and get answers to the questions above to determine your design needs and ideas that can complement your home.
Future Features
Once you have figured out how you want to use your pool, the next step is to expand your vision to incorporate other features. Even if you are not willing to install these features immediately, you should leave room for them in your final design.
Many like to extend their pool area by incorporating heat sources such as a fireplace, fire pit, heater or patio flame. So leaving room beforehand for them is a great idea so that you don’t have to stress out while adding these things to your pool area in the future if you choose to do so.
Property And Bylaw Restrictions
Once you have decided on everything that you would like for your pool area’s design, the next step is to consider factors that can help you implement those visions. You should take a look at the local bylaws and property regulations next to know how to implement your design.
It is important to consider the patterns of sunlight and water drainage in your yard before designing your pool area. This will help ensure that your pool is functional and safe and prevent pooling and water damage to your pool and surrounding landscape.
Your property may present unique challenges and opportunities that need to be taken into consideration. If you have a sloping yard with restrictions on retaining walls or a ravine lot with established setbacks, a professional designer can help find solutions that will work for your space.
Also, special planning may be necessary if your property adjoins conservation areas, flood zones, or designated green spaces. However, this can also present an opportunity to create unique and beautiful features in your pool area. For example, an existing shed or shack can be transformed into a charming shade structure with the help of a professional designer.
Address Practical Matters
After taking care of local bylaws and regulations, it’s important to consider practical aspects.
Think about the ease of movement between your house and the pool area. Will there be a designated area for changing? Is there a convenient spot for refreshments? Where will the pool equipment and chemicals be kept? And where will you store pool toys and accessories?
Considering these practical matters at the start of the design process will help ensure that your pool area is beautiful, functional and meets your needs. By taking these issues into account, you can make sure they are integrated into the final design of your pool area.
