Beat the Heat and Cool Off by the Pool with These 10 Outdoor Must-Haves
With the rising temperatures, what could be better than creating a relaxing oasis at home
It has been the Summer of heat, and experts are predicting that the high temperatures will extend through the rest of the season and even into the Fall. While this forecast may seem daunting to some, one area of your home is celebrating — your swimming pool! With the recent design trend of bringing traditionally interior rooms like kitchens, gyms and theaters outside post-Covid, one could argue that this original outdoor space has been feeling a little overlooked. If you yourself have been guilty of this, not to worry, we recommend giving your space a refresh with some new furniture and zippy accessories to make your pool the perfect escape for cooling off!
This season, outdoor manufacturers have been hard at work creating the perfect respites for you to enjoy yourself poolside. If soaking up the sun’s rays in a comfortable chaise longue with a cocktail and book in hand is what you are after, McKinnon and Harris has you covered with their newly launched sun chaise that offers an armrest on one side for resting your drink. If shade and protection from the sun is more your speed, try Janus et Cie’s Duo day bed that comes complete with side and back window shades so you can truly relax in cooler temperatures. And if you still want to bring the indoors out, we’ve also included a floating Mahjong table so you can host game night in the water!
There are so many ways for you to enjoy some Vitamin D in a chic way, and we’ve rounded up some of our favorites for you to look through. Enjoy!
