How to Turn Your Pool into a Backyard Lagoon Style Pool
Are you looking to add a little ‘beachy’ flair to your backyard pool area? Creating a backyard lagoon style pool is a fun DIY project for the whole family to partake in. Creating a lagoon style pool design is easy once you have some inspiration such as certain water features and landscaping you would like to add.
You want to entertain your family, friends, and neighbors in a bright, tropical atmosphere even though you may not actually live in such a place. Let us show you how to make over your backyard and bring the beach to you!
Pool Construction
Creating your dream pool is something that is easily attainable once you have a plan. One way to do this is to consider your pool construction and then develop design ideas. For example, if you want to create a lagoon backyard oasis, you may want to consider a remodel. Collaborating with pool builders will help you understand your pool construction better so you can start creating your backyard oasis.
Pool Shape and Water Features
Some important things to consider when creating your backyard oasis is the type of pool you have, whether it is an inground pool or above ground pool. Pool shape and style are also important.
In order to add a certain ambiance and a natural lagoon look, you will want to add some custom swimming pool features, such as a fountain. A fountain will add a natural look that will also make your pool feel like a luxury pool. If you’re going for bright and lively, take a look at our fun LED Fountain.
Install a Rock Waterfall
A rock waterfall will add depth and authenticity to a lagoon swimming pool. You can use artificial rock, natural rocks or natural stone.
Waterfalls are a great way to bring tranquility to your pool atmosphere. For a tropical theme, consider our Taos Waterfall. We have a few designs available depending on the décor surrounding your pool. This pool waterfall comes in Dark Granite, Sunset Red, Rustic Sandstone, and Light Granite. Check out which style best matches your pool!
Enhancing the Outdoor Living Ambiance
The ambiance of your pool landscaping is a crucial part of achieving your dream pool. Some simple ways to enhance the ambiance is by adding a hot tub, fire pit, diving board, swimming pool slide, or—if you have the space—a lazy river.
A Hot Tub
A hot tub is a great enhancement to your backyard oasis by providing an additional space for guests to relax. Having a hot tub as well as a pool offers more options for lounging and year-round outdoor enjoyment. An added bonus is that a hot tub feels great in cool and cold weather.
Fire Pit
A fire pit will make the space cozy in the evenings. Consider a Tripod Fire Pit to keep your family and your pool guests warm near the pool. This fire pit is equipped with a crystal fire burner and it allows you to switch out the look of your fire with multi-colored tempered glass crystals delicately placed beneath the flames. If you prefer the old-fashioned look of a log fire, then consider the log set instead of the colored glass crystals.Diving Board
A diving board is another great way to enhance the fun and feel of your backyard lagoon. If your diving board needs a beachy makeover to fit in with the ambiance, then consider the Boulder Springs Diving Base. These large boulders are sure to fascinate your pool guests as they imagine themselves diving from a cliff at a distant island beach. To match the décor of your pool area, there are 4 colors to choose from: sunset red, dark granite, light granite, and rustic sandstone.
Swimming Pool Slide
A swimming pool slide is an exciting way to spice up your outdoor living space. The Typhoon Swimming Pool Slide is perfect for poolside fun! This pool slide features the Grand Rapids™ water delivery system so it feels like you’re riding a wave. In order to fit your pool just right, it can curve left or curve right for your convenience. With an easy installation process this slide is sure to have your pool guests coming back for more!
Lazy River
Extra Pool Style Features
There are many extra features that can be added to enhance the landscape design of your pool style. Some extra features include: decals, hammocks, posters, and LED lighting.
- Decals are a fun way to decorate your space. If you want to make your outdoor lagoon feel like the Florida Keys, check out our Aqua Decal Coral Reef and explore the ocean floor as you swim along the bottom of your pool. This decal is available for all pool surfaces, including vinyl, concrete, and fiberglass. Our coral reef decals give a friendlier meaning to “swimming with the fishes!”
- Hammocks are another feature to add to your backyard oasis. Vivere’s Combo- Double Hammock with Stand is perfect for relaxing. After all, ‘vivere’ means ‘live’ in Italian, so get out there and experience the relaxing side of life as you lay back and enjoy your tropical paradise. This double pool hammock is made with very comfortable 100% cotton material and comes in two popular designs, tropical and oasis.
- Posters are a fun and easy way to decorate your space. To add a more beachy feel, consider the West of the Wind Palms poster. It’s 24”x24” tall, and perfect for hanging around the perimeter of your pool area. The realistic quality of this pool poster will leave your guests in awe. The West of the Wind Palms poster is weather and UV resistant, and can handle winds of up to 60 miles an hour!
- Add LED lighting to your landscaping design. When the sun begins to set on your personal pool side beach, you don’t want the guests to leave just yet, right?
