Your pool is one of your favorite features of your home.
However, if you are looking to upgrade your pool space, it can be difficult to know what to do. After all, your pool is already a pristine oasis, how can it get any better?
One upgrade that many pool owners choose to make is the addition of a luxury pool house.
The addition or renovation of a pool house on your property can add an extra layer of fun and excitement to your pool, and it gives you a space to dry off and relax away from the blaring summer sun.
Pool house customization is a wise move for those who enjoy spending sunny summer hours taking a dip in their pools or for homeowners who are seeking a bespoke, shady hideaway to escape the summer heat.

The Best Designs for a Modern Pool House
One of the greatest aspects of installing a luxury pool house on your property is that a pool house can be anything you want!

Some pool owners choose an open-air structure, others opt for an enclosed structure, and some opt for a hybrid between the two (think a closed room on the ground floor and a loft area up top).
Your pool house can be as large or as cozy as you choose. That is the wonder of pool house customization!
As for pool house renovation, if you have an existing structure that serves as a pool house currently, a knowledgeable pool house builder and the contractor will be able to alter the current structure to ensure that the upgrade meets your vision.
So, what are some of the top design trends for a modern custom pool house?
First, let’s look at what a luxury pool house should accomplish. A pool house should do two things.
Number one, it should serve as a storage location for all your pool supplies and equipment, anything from pool toys to pool cleaning supplies.
Second, it should be an area where you can relax and dry away from the sun. What that includes (in terms of entertainment and design) is entirely up to you!
Keeping these two goals in mind, we can begin to ideate some bespoke solutions for you and your home. Here are a few ideas to get your pool house creative juices flowing.
Storage Galore!
Primarily, your pool house should serve as a storage space for your pool equipment and supplies. The best pool houses will have storage solutions that blend in with the décor.
Determine how much storage space you will need and if you want to use your pool house to store anything besides pool supplies. For example, many homeowners use their pool houses to store gardening supplies or other outdoor decorations and tools.
At the minimum, be sure you have storage space for towels, toys, and pool cleaning supplies.
Work with a master craftsman and they will be able to help you identify ways to add storage space that blends in with your pool house.
Customize Your Pool House to Your Needs
How do you enjoy your time in the pool? Do you swim laps? Or do you prefer to simply dip your feet in the pool?
For those taking regular dunks, you might consider adding a shower to your pool house. Or if you prefer to lounge after exiting the pool a hammock or sling might be the perfect place for you to dry off.
Consider what you like to do in the pool, and customize your pool house accordingly!
If you are feeling stuck, reach out to a master craftsman to help you get the ball rolling.

Add a Custom Design
To round out your pool house customization, you can add a bespoke design or theme to your new home feature.
This includes the type of wood your pool house is made from, the color of paint you use, and the décor that helps round out the space.
For example, you could choose a naval theme and use reclaimed weathered wood for the structure, use blues and whites for the colors, and add features like ship steering wheels, or naval rope to round out the space.
Go Big with Your Pool House
Finally, you can add many unconventional features to truly customize your pool house.
We already discussed adding a shower, but you can add other elements too to make your pool house more functional.
Some homeowners choose to add a kitchen, bathroom or changing room to help make their pool house more useful.
If you already have a pool house, adding some of these elements can make for the perfect pool house renovation.
