How to decorate gourmet area with pool?
For Velludo, thinking about practicality is the fundamental element to compose the decoration of the gourmet area with pool. Thus, the architect listed some fundamental tips for this project:
- Furniture that might get wet: Because it is an external space conjugated with a swimming pool, Velludo suggests choosing furniture made with materials that offer resistance, such as aluminum, nautical rope or even wood with varnish treatment suitable for wet areas.eat," warns the professional.
- Plenty of accommodations: "The space in the gourmet area must be designed to receive many people, so it is necessary to include a large table with plenty of chairs or long benches so that no guest is uncomfortable," points out the architect.
- Vertical decoration: for Velludo, it is important to ensure that the circulation is as free as possible. for this reason, bet on paintings and decorations on shelves, as well as hanging vases.
- Functional closets: To include storage space in the outdoor area is fundamental to guarantee practicality: "Keeping everything at hand prevents people from going inside the house, especially after using the pool. It also saves time, because people don't need to carry everything back to the kitchen after use", he explains.
- Wall hooks or clotheslines: After all, it is not nice to leave wet towels lying around. Besides accommodating the towels, wall hooks are also a solution to let them dry after use.
- Colors are welcome: An environment designed to receive guests needs to evoke joy and fun: "Here, the use of colors on the walls, on the furniture or just on the decorative objects is allowed. The more relaxed, the better", suggests Velludo.
- Barbecue or pizza oven: Velludo explains that all models are great, "from fixed models, made of brick, pre-molded concrete, or even a mobile and practical structure.
- Sun protection: Especially in large areas, including umbrellas or sunshades adds more comfort to the space. This way people will be closer to the pool without having to be directly exposed to the sun.
- Non-slip floor: "the ideal is to install natural stones around the pool, as their roughness ensures greater safety. a satin floor with non-slip texture is recommended for the gourmet area, as, besides the wet people, there is also the grease from the barbecue grill, which would make the floor even more slippery", he recommends.
- Glass doors or windows: In addition to protecting the gourmet area from the weather, glass doors or windows are great environment integrators and allow the view of the pool and garden to be appreciated during meals.
A complete structure of gourmet area with swimming pool also counts on a planned construction. Thus, don't let an external bathroom be missing, avoiding circulation through the house's internal environments.
