Pool house
An ice blue granite counter with an eased edge gives guests a place to rest a drink or snack. A folding window above the bar opens up the cabana to the pool area. “In the summer they really want this indoor space to be outdoors, so when you’re in the cabana to grab something, it doesn’t feel like you’re away from the pool,” Wiese says. Corbels that support the bar mimic the corbels used on the cabana’s copper roof. Folding window: Win-Dor Quality Windows & Doors
White leather and stainless steel stools encourage guests to hang out at the bar. The homeowners chose a playful blue and orange color scheme to distinguish the cabana from the rest of the house. A stained-wood-framed glass door offers access to the cabana’s kitchenette and the adjacent bathroom inside.Bar stools: Wayfair
Don't forget the electronics. A sound system, dimmer-controlled lighting and Wi-Fi go a long way toward making your pool house both pleasant and functional. If you expect to entertain by the pool during major events, such as the Summer Olympics or the Masters golf tournament, you might also include a television set.More:Houzz Tour: A Tale of Two Pool HousesHideouts, Otherwise Known as Outbuildings20 Sublime Outdoor Havens
