Transformed Pool Area Embraces Potted Plants' Prodigious Potential, as Demonstrated by Steve Martin's Resort-Style Retreat
Transform Your Pool Area into a Vibrant Oasis with Plants and Flowers
Bring life and relaxation to your pool area by incorporating a variety of plants and flowers. This simple yet effective approach can turn your pool into a vibrant oasis, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Start by layering plants of different heights around your pool. Tall shrubs or small trees near corners or at the back of the pool area can frame the space and provide privacy. Medium-height plants, such as flowering plants or ornamental grasses, in front of taller plants create a smooth transition. Low plants or groundcover around pool edges soften hardscape lines.
Using potted plants and planters offers flexibility, allowing you to change arrangements seasonally or as tastes evolve. Durable, water-friendly plants like succulents and shrubs flourish well in this setting. The unbeatable terracotta urn, with its rustic charm and understated elegance, is suitable for a variety of trees and adds an earthy touch to your pool area.
In smaller areas, consider adding vertical elements like tall planters, vertical gardens, or privacy screens to maximize greenery without encroaching on pool space. Natural materials like pebbles, stones, and flowering plants can be arranged around pools or water features for added texture and a calming natural feel.
Hardscaping elements such as wooden decks or composite decking connect the landscaping visually and functionally. They provide seating areas and spaces for accents like flowering pots or focal points. The Cavo planter, showcasing outdoor poolside plants, has an earthy stone finish and is made from durable, weather-resistant FiberStone.
Enhance ambiance with strategic lighting, including underwater LED lights and accent lights around landscaping features, to extend usability and create a dramatic relaxing atmosphere in the evening. 'All Summer Beauty', a Hydrangea variety, is compact, long-blooming, and produces big, bouncy flowers on 4 ft shrubs, making it an ideal choice for your poolside garden.
Incorporating vibrant colors from flowers can brighten up a pool area, while the minimal, white Bauhaus-style pool in Steve Martin's '80s home was enlivened with a row of potted plants lining the perimeter. Luisina Marchiori, an interior designer at Homerun Brokers, suggests surrounding the pool with lush vegetation to create a refreshing and natural ambience.
