If there’s any time to upgrade or even install a pool enclosure, it’s now. We’ve just hit September which means the dark, cold nights are slowly creeping in. It’s easy to put our pool homes on the back-burner as we tend to prioritize other areas in the house to decorate and fix first. But there’s a lot of good reasons why updating and upgrading your enclosure is a good idea. Your enclosure protects your pool, yes, but it also provides a sheltered area for you and your children to play when the weather is a bit chilly. Plus it gives you an alternative hangout spot to the living room.
Urgent Repairs
The plan for your enclosure is to keep the bad weather, dirt, and debris out of the pool. And so, prioritizing any breakages found on the pool screen is vital. If there’s a cracked panel or the glass is looking a bit worse for wear, it may be worth considering screen enclosure repair in Jacksonville to take care of the damage. Leaving it, especially over the autumn and winter, could mean you have a whole heap of mess that makes its way into your pool area.
Greenery
The benefit of your enclosure is that you can see the outdoors without suffering the effects of any wind and rain. A good design tip for making your pool area seamless with the outside is to add some indoor plants. A splash of greenery indoors is a budget-friendly way to bring the outdoors in and break up the interior inside the glass with some colorful flowers.
Seating
You could transform your enclosure area as a place to sit, rest and relax too, while you absorb the sunlight and cast a gaze over the view of your garden. Think about seating such as rattan corner sofas to relax on. These are durable against any splashbacks of the pool and are resilient to the harmful sun’s UV rays which penetrate through the enclosures glass casing. The rattan furniture is also pretty easy to move around, and so when the mood strikes, you can change their location to switch up the decor.
Flooring
If you really want to make a show and upgrade your pool enclosure, think about changing the tiles surrounding the pool. Rather than bland, cream tiles generically found in pool enclosures, you could liven up the space with some speckles of mosaic tiles. Alternatively, you could even consider painting them – this is a fab pocket-friendly way to upgrade your pool enclosure area.
Color Pop
If your enclosure is connected to the wall of your home, think about experimenting with some swatches of paint or even some wallpaper (providing the wall isn’t too close to the pool. To add some style to your sunroom, look at cool hues of grey for a modern feel. Otherwise, opt for warmer shades such as creamy yellows and oranges, to add the illusion of warmth within the enclosure. This is a desirable color to reflect sunlight, but also to prevent the room from appearing cold and uninviting on those grey-sky days.
