Beautiful Cabanas to Enhance Your Pool and Create a Resort-Like Atmosphere in Your Backyard
A pool can be so much more than a place to take a quick swim on a hot day. It can be the foundation for a gorgeous area in your backyard where you can relax, entertain friends, and so much more. You can really experiment with features and designs to create a stunning masterpiece in your backyard that you will love to visit again and again – and will love to show off to guests.
Your design options go far beyond the decking around the pool or even the plants you place nearby. You can add many extraordinary features to your pool area, one of the most popular of which is the cabana, which can be much more sophisticated and enticing than the simple, pop-up options that you can buy for temporary shelter.
With the right designer on your side, you can create a gorgeous cabana that rivals anything you’d find at a luxury resort. The hardscaping and design professionals at Triad Associates can help you bring your dream cabana and pool space to life. We will work with you on every stage of the design creation and implementation, and we’ll offer counsel and ideas along the way to help you realize the full potential of the space.
Choosing the Cabana Type
The first thing you will need to do is choose the type of cabana you want to create. You have many options.
Some cabanas have open-air concepts, similar to a gazebo or a covered patio. There are supporting columns and a roof, but there are few other features.
Other cabanas look like pool houses or even guest cottages, depending on how large they are. They can be completely enclosed and accessible through doors, or they can have three sides with an open front.
Knowing the design you want to have will guide your choice of materials like wood or stone, as well as the kind of features you want to add to the space. You can leave the cabana empty except for lounge furniture, essentially, or you can outfit it with practical and aesthetic features like shelves and cabinets for towels and other supplies, permanent seating, an outdoor bar or kitchen, and much more.
One of our designers can help you to visualize the different design options in your space through tools like sketches or 3D design software. Or, if you already have a design idea in mind, we can help you to refine it and add details you may not have considered.
Adding Features
You can add a lot of features to your cabana to enhance the design or the way you use the space. For example, if you have an enclosed cabana, you can choose from a variety of door types to create the style you want. You can choose large, French doors for an open and inviting look, or you can choose sliding barn doors for a more rustic style. Similarly, you can choose different window styles to enhance your cabana’s design. Windows can even be put on the end walls in an otherwise open design, allowing more light into the space and providing another element of design.
Lighting can make a big impact on the look and feel of your cabana. Accent lighting can elevate the look of the space and make it appear more inviting. You can put lighting on the inside or outside of your cabana, and you have a wide range of style options to get just the look you want. Of course, the lighting you choose can also illuminate the space for evening entertainment.
You can also add large features to your cabana to really accentuate the design. For example, you can add a large, outdoor fireplace at one end, which you can use to cook or just to warm the space when the night starts to cool. You could also add a bar for entertaining or even a full kitchen space, including a grille, counter, and dining area. Your designer will help you figure out how to incorporate these elements into the space you have so that you can maximize your design.
The specialists at Triad Associates can help you create a gorgeous design for your cabana that incorporates these and many other stylish and exciting features.
Choosing Design Elements
There are a lot of ways you can change the design of your cabana by playing with the lines, textures, colors, and more. For example, you can choose a flat roof or a gabled roof, a barn-style roof or a steep roof. Each of these styles will impact the overall look of the cabana.
You can have arches built into your cabana, as well. They can be decorative on the outside, or they can be built into the interior, giving you a unique cathedral ceiling look. You can use straight lines throughout your design, or you can build in geometric patterns, angles, or curves. You can add columns and other architectural elements, as well.
Our designers will help you explore all the options to get the perfect design. If you want to create a specific look for your cabana, we’ll show you how to do it. If you want to match the design of your home, or create a complementary design, we can make that happen, as well.
Choosing Materials
The materials you choose to build or decorate your cabana have perhaps the biggest impact on the finished look of the space. For example, you can build a simple, gazebo-style cabana with wood and a cover. Or you could build that same style cabana with brick columns and a stone roof. Instantly, that cabana will have a statelier and more luxurious look, even with a simple design.
Whatever style cabana you choose, the materials will play a big role in creating its overall style. Stones have different colors, styles, and textures, all of which contributes to the final look. Choose something like travertine, and you create a rustic, inviting look. Choose something like slate, and you create an elegant and austere look.
You can have fun mixing and matching different stones or stones with different materials, like wood and metal. Remember that you can use stone on all surfaces, including the patio underneath the cabana, the walls of the cabana, the design features, and more. You can choose a different stone for each of these, or you can choose the same stone for a uniform look.
Remember to not only choose stones and other materials that will look good on the cabana, but that will also tie in to the other design elements for the pool, as well as to the overall design of your home. When all of these elements work together, you can create something truly spectacular in your backyard. You’ll create a beautiful space for yourself while also raising the curb appeal and overall value of your property.
Work with the Hardscaping Design Experts at Triad Associates to Build a Gorgeous New Cabana for Your Pool
Building a beautiful cabana for your pool is not a DIY project. You need the help of expert hardscape designers to get a stunning and long-lasting design, as well as to properly integrate that design with the existing layout of your pool and backyard. Sure, you can buy a pop-up cabana that you can move anywhere, but you’ll be shortchanging yourself of all the possibilities that a custom-built cabana can offer. Why have what is essentially a large beach umbrella when you can have something more akin to a luxury resort or a celebrity’s poolside?
The professionals at Triad Associates are ready to help you get the cabana of your dreams and to make your pool look like the amazing space it was always meant to be. We can create any style of cabana, ensuring that you have a comfortable space to lounge by the pool, as well as all the practical elements you need, such as cabinets to store pool supplies. Or we can create a luxury space that includes next-level entertaining features, such as an outdoor kitchen or bar.
We’ll work closely with you through every step of the design process, from determining the basic features to selecting each of the finishing materials. We can work with sketches, samples, and design software to help you visualize the possibilities, as well as to understand how it will look in your particular space.
