Patio Perfect

While these winter storms seem unending, New England won’t be cold forever! We promise. To help get in the spirit of spring (whenever it finally feels like it arrives), we thought we’d start dreaming about what makes the perfect patio space to laze away the warm weather days.

At Aqua Pool, here are a few of our absolute patio musts:

• Secluded Spaces
  Whether a small bench set off to the side, a pergola with an outdoor dining table, or a little nook with a breakfast spot, creating outdoor flow in your yard by breaking up the space can help enhance intimacy and give you perfect corners for conversation.
• Tranquility
  One of our favorite ways of creating an atmosphere that boasts tranquility is to include water features. A soft babbling fountain or a larger waterfall, the soothing music of water can lend your backyard with a layer of privacy and tranquility.
• Great Furniture
  Perhaps your furniture is looking a little rough from last season. To spruce it up, give it a good power wash and finish as appropriate. If you want to up the ante on relaxing and entertaining, consider adding weatherproof fabrics to really make your outdoor environment inviting.
• Lighting
  The right lighting can add the perfect amount of drama to your property. This spring, as you spend time on your patio, you’ll want enough light to be able to see by but also to not break the mood. We recommend a good mix that includes candles on the table, LED lights in your pool, and a few directional lights to aid in getting around.

Now, all we have to do is wait for all the flowers to bloom and then we will be well on our way to patio perfect weather (fingers crossed!).
