Focus on pool furniture

When we talk about the layout of our swimming pool, we generally think of the beach, as well as its surroundings, and we often forget to take the furniture into account. Yet this element also plays an essential role in the aesthetics of our bodies of water.

Transform the pool area into a real living space

For me, the pool is not just a place to swim. I also really like hanging out there to indulge in one of my favorite activities, such as reading. Otherwise, regularly, when the sun is out, I also invite my friends and relatives there for an aperitif, for a Sunday meal with the children, or for an evening barbecue. Last summer, with some friends, we even organized a very nice themed evening.

I still have very good memories. This is why I pay a lot of attention to the layout and decoration of this space. I bought all of my outdoor furniture on www.homepiscine.com. I also found my parasols on this online store. I let myself be tempted by a braided resin set. I fell in love with the elegant and classy character of this fully recyclable material. In addition, the braided resin is very resistant to prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity and climatic variations.

In addition, I really appreciate their lightness, because I can easily move my sun loungers from one place to another, without anyone's help. Moreover, even if at the time of purchase, we are often oriented by design, it is the material of the furniture that takes precedence despite everything. Aluminum, resin wicker and PVC will go perfectly for this use. For people with a preference for wood, exotic species including teak will be preferred, provided they are chosen with the FSC label, identifying responsible forest management.

Deckchair, hammock or deckchair?

Now in terms of the types of furniture that are most suitable for this use, lounge chairs are my favorite. Ultra-comfortable and flexible at will, this furniture lends itself wonderfully to all uses between tanning, lazing around, not forgetting the essential post-lunch nap. The lounge chair is all the more interesting if the model is foldable. This greatly facilitates their transport and storage. There are even double models for lounging together.

My trick? I cover the cushions with washable covers, so I replace them whenever necessary. Otherwise, for my nephews, nothing beats rocking a hammock. I feel like it's a real playground for them. Which is not my case at all. Following a bad experience during my teenage years, I am not at all inclined to the hammock, even though I have installed a magnificent family model in my garden.

For fans of this accessory, the wider the hammock, the greater the comfort. Otherwise what about the deckchair? This piece of furniture for rest and relaxation is very successful because it does not require a mattress. My only criticism of this furniture is its fabric canvas which gets dirty very quickly. Alternatively, there are also deckchair models with braided polyester fabrics.
