Hosting a festive party at your pool can be fun for everyone involved. However, if you want to take it up a notch, you may be wondering what you can do. Fortunately, we’re going to share seven great ways to revamp your pool space to ensure you throw some epic parties this summer season.

Add a Fireplace

Nothing goes better with water than a nice nighttime fire. Adding a fireplace or a firepit near your pool can provide that overnight ambient light that allows your space to glow softly. Even better, it provides a place for guests to warm up if they’re feeling a little chilled once the sun goes down.

Ramp Up Your Lighting

Lighting is a necessity to set the mood and to ensure everyone’s safety while hanging around the pool. Consider adding pool lighting under the edges of the pool to provide a beautifully reflective glow that will light up your space. Even consider adding Edison-style string lights overhead that can help bring your party space to life.

Construct a Cooking Area

What’s a festive party without some tasty food? Consider constructing a designated cooking area near your pool where you can heat up some food for your guests. If you really want to make it extravagant, consider adding in a mini-bar, brick oven, and table setting.

Get a Canopy Overhead

You never know when the weather may turn. If you don’t want it to end your party, consider investing in an overhead canopy. Just having this off to the side of your pool provides your party guests with a safe location away from the weather. Even more so, this canopy can also help shade out the sun to protect your party guests from getting burned during your epic adventure.

Consider a Waterfall

Nothing can be cooler than having an outdoor pool that has a waterfall feature. This gives a beautiful, natural look. Consider adding in some backlighting to illuminate the night. You’ll be flattered by the gentle sound of water flowing to help provide more background ambiance for your guests.

Integrate Speakers

No great party can happen without all the guests being able to hear the music. Integrating speakers at your pool, in your waterfall, at your cooking space, or anywhere else you can think of will truly make a difference. You want everyone there to hear the music and feel as if they’re part of the party. Even adding waterproof wireless speakers to your trees can allow the music to project for your guests.

Bring in the Greenery

Greenery is known to provide feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation. A good rule of thumb is to bring in some greenery to provide a more natural tone to your pool party. Small trees, overgrown ferns, and beautiful flowers can transform the look and feel of your pool space in an instant. Plus, these small areas of greenery can help to section off your pool to create private areas for your guests to converse away from the crowd.
