Pool House Meets Tuscan Fountain

Charming archways and a Tuscan fountain easily draw the eye to the nearby pool house. Meanwhile, a row of lounge chairs in pale blue offer another refreshing spot to stretch out.

Serene and Secluded Backyard Oasis

With tall hedges and an iron gate encircling the property, this backyard feels especially serene and secluded. At the far end of the pool, a blue sofa and chair give the owners a spot to relax after an afternoon swim.

Poolside Lounge With Pretty Accent Pillows

Tall hedges double as a natural wall and so provide additional privacy for this contemporary lounge. Striped accent pillows keep the space extra cozy and complement the umbrellas above.

Across the way, an outdoor dining table comfortably seats six. Blue cushioned chairs not only complement the chaises by the pool, but are also water-resistant in case of stormy weather.
