Creating a well designed swimming pool and outdoor living area will expand the usable space of your home. It is also, an investment that will increase the value of your home considerably.

Here is a step by step process of creating luxurious, usable, and functional space?

What is your dream outdoor living space?

No matter what size backyard you have, there is a lot you can do with it. The first step is to dream and let your imagination run free, of all you want in your outdoor area. What type of amenities do you want in the swimming pool? How about an outdoor kitchen? Beautiful lounge chairs and a fire feature.

There are endless possibilities and options, it can be overwhelming. So, it is best to imagine what you really want. This way you won’t have any regrets later or spending more money than necessary.

Prioritize your wants and needs

While you imagine what you want your dream swimming pool to be, prioritizing your needs is also an important step. It will ensure your decisions will be practical and a good investment for your needs.

Do you want to host events, grilling outdoors, custom water fountain, or spa? Answer these questions honestly so you can evaluate wants vs needs. While you may want that beautiful waterfall or cave, you may find taking a swim in your luxury pool every evening fits your lifestyle better.

Analyze your long term needs 

Make sure you think long term. If you have small children, you may want to consider a zero entry or sun shelf. If not, an outdoor lounge area may be ideal.
