You can also arrange a terrace with swimming pool that will be like out of fairy tales. Often English gardens come to mind first. What characterizes the terraces of English design are the carved bushes and the green nature of their decoration. Give shape to your bushes, opt for an iron railing and a boxwood fence and you will have the English garden of your dreams. Other characteristic elements of English gardens are decorative statues and fountains.

Plants are another great way to decorate the space around your pool. If you want to create a holiday feeling and if your climate allows it, go for palm trees. In case you do not have trees or palm trees in your garden, some plants or flowers in pots are also a very nice alternative. Choose design pots in colors that you like and follow with your outdoor decoration.

And even though plants work wonders, the use of natural stone and concrete is also a very good choice. You may think, first of all, that it is difficult to decorate with stone, but this is not entirely true. Sometimes you simply have to place large pieces of stone near the pool to create an extraordinary decoration. It’s unexpected and it will help you define the space.

Depending on the size and shape of your garden, the pool can be customized. So, if your have a rectangular terrace and long enough, opt for a pool that will have almost the same shape and will instead remind a bathtub. Simple designs and shapes are often the best choice for small spaces and especially if you want to create a modern outdoor space.

And in case you have a little more space on your terrace, you can very well opt for a more dramatic look. Build a pool of original shape or why not a little retro. The rectangular shape will help you create a charming retro and vintage look. The round pool is also a very good idea. Do not forget to illuminate your pool at night to have a beautiful exotic decor during your dinners outside.

The decorative elements in the pools also work miracles. So, if you have a simple shaped pool, the best way to decorate it is by adding a waterfall design. The waterfall in the pool will help you create a spa feeling outside or, why not, an exotic oasis in the desert. Be creative and transform your pool into the central element of your home decor.

To have a beautiful pool terrace, sometimes just a few comfortable furniture, green plants, a stone border and you’ll have the garden you’ve always dreamed of. When choosing the design of your outdoor area with swimming pool, do not forget to consider its function. Will you use the space for parties and parties around the pool with lots of guests? Maybe some design lounge chairs will suffice to make your terrace both modern and practical. Go, do not waste time and see these beautiful pictures of exceptional pools!
