The benefits of pool covers are easy to outline. They help with cleaning and maintenance; cut down evaporation, heating, and chemical use; and literally offer entire households a safety net.
Yet practical as they are, pool covers can also be incredibly artful. Think beyond the standard mesh and imagine what your yard and garden can look like following these ideas.
Color at the center
You can use your pool cover as a design accent. Gone are the days when black and aqua are the staple colors for covers; you can now explore customized options and patterns to liven up the poolside. Does your house sport minimalist architecture or modern poolside furniture? You may want a pool cover with geometric designs or line art.
Harmonious habitat
If your property is surrounded by exceptional natural views, you might want to try getting your pool to blend in with the surroundings – even when its water is out of sight. For example, a green or brown pool cover can go well if your house is in a wooded or leafy area. If you experience some changing colors during the fall, you could switch out a red-orange cover too.
You could also refer to the color scheme of your own landscaping design. Tan and gray covers can go well with flagstone decks. You don’t have to rule out black, either – it still goes well with features like dark gray slate.
Party on the pool
If you can afford an exceptionally stylish and sturdy option, consider a cover strong enough to walk on. Imagine the parties you can have out back when guests will have the unusual extra space! Already practical and artful, your pool cover will become conversation and centerpiece as well.
