FAQs: Designing a Poolside Escape 

Q: What makes a backyard feel like a vacation space? 

A: It’s all about comfort, style, and function. Think lounge furniture, outdoor games, resort-worthy pool tiles, soft lighting, and intentional landscaping. Small details like side tables, towel bins, and shade structures really enhance the vibe. 

Q: Can I use indoor furniture outdoors if it’s under a covered patio? 

A: It’s not recommended. Outdoor furniture is made to handle humidity, UV rays, and temperature swings. Using indoor pieces outside—even under cover—can lead to mold, fading, and quick wear-and-tear. 

Q: How do I choose the right tile for my pool area? 

A: Focus on durability, slip resistance, and aesthetics. Glass tiles like Aqua Blend are great for waterlines, while porcelain pavers work well on decks. AquaBlu’s experts can help guide you based on your pool design and lifestyle. 

Q: What’s the best way to incorporate shade into my backyard oasis? 

A: Try umbrellas, pergolas, shade sails, or even outdoor curtains. Combining structure and flow gives your space dimension—and keeps you cool in style. 

Q: Are these products customizable? 

A: Many of our furnishings and tiles come in various colors, finishes, and configurations. Contact our team to explore customization options and build something that’s uniquely yours.
