Push. Pour. Party. It’s that simple to live the high life and enjoy every second at home with this incredible movable outdoor TV lift cabinet with built-in bar, refrigerator storage and charging unit. Weather resistant and designed to shine in any climate, the cabinetry will protect your big screen TV from the elements effortlessly – with no need to have any disruptive, unsightly construction carried out whatsoever. NO walls, just a stunning handcrafted unit guaranteed to be the centre of attention. We’ve carefully crafted the ultimate in home entertainment using hardwearing IPE wood – also known as Brazilian teak. This is durable, robust and can stand up to whatever Mother Nature (and your bartending) has to throw at it. That means you don’t need to give a thought to mold, insects or moisture. We guarantee your TV lift cabinet and bar will remain fully functional without warping, no matter how many times a week you fire up your TV and chill the drinks on the deck, patio, poolside or rooftop. This unit just loves to be the center of attention – and rightly so. We know you’ll be the envy of your block with the all-in-one jaw dropping solid mahogany interior with lighting, stainless steel ice bin to hold up to 40lbs of ice, included fridge, walnut / cherry cutting board, upper bottle holder and condiment station. There’s also a charging station inside the stainless storage door so you can crank up your favorite play list and charge your tablet, mobile or portable speaker at the same time. Adjustable lighting inside the storage door and 2 magnetic detachable lights that go over the bar means you don’t need to worry about the time, you can relax and enjoy the vibes from sun up to sun down. Additionally, with an built-in fridge, bottle storage and space to stash your essentials like glasses, cocktail shaker and bottle opener, you’ll never have to venture too far from the action. If you want to party like a VIP all year long, add a sound bar or optional 360-degree manual swivel for perfect viewing at any angle.

As a backdrop to the pool a hit and miss recycled timber screen, inspired by the early settler cottages and fences, is included. This screen migrates from slightly permeable to completely solid and cleverly conceals the pool equipment in the south east corner. A mature frangipani cuts through the screen and hangs tranquilly over the pool.

Traditional Above Ground Swimming Pool Ideas and Designs

A traditional garden or outdoor swimming pool can be a great way to cool off in the summer, and when the swimming pool covers are on, the fun can continue with steaming hot tubs or home spas. Better yet, if you have the budget and the space to work with, why not install an indoor swimming pool that can be enjoyed all year round? Whether you are looking at the luxury of hot tubs, want a small plunge pool, or you’re planning a brand new outdoor swimming pool or home spa installation, we have plenty of traditional hot tub and outdoor pool designs for you to dip into here at Houzz.

Do new indoor or outdoor swimming pools increase the value of homes?

Outdoor or indoor swimming pools can significantly impact property value by attracting buyers with bigger budgets who are looking for a little luxury in their home. However, installing a large traditional swimming pool could also negatively impact the value of your house if there isn’t enough space left in your garden for anything else. This is why it is important to seek guidance from a swimming pool installer or expert, and choose a swimming pool installation that can fit tastefully in your garden. If you are planning to sell your home, you may also want to look into the range of large inflatable, above ground swimming pools now available so that you can take it with you when you leave.

What type of swimming pool should I install?

The British weather can be unpredictable at best, so while an infinity pool or luxurious outdoor pool may be a stunning addition to a holiday villa abroad, it may be a good idea to look into small traditional plunge pools, heated pools and indoor swimming pool designs instead. This doesn’t mean you will have to compromise on style – even natural swimming pools, which can look stunning when well placed in leafy and luscious gardens, are heatable and therefore usable in slightly colder months. If you don’t quite have the space for a large swimming pool, there are plenty of small traditional swimming pool ideas and designs to work with, and if you speak to an expert they may be able to design bespoke swimming pools to fit perfectly in the space you have. Simple plunge pools are great additions to courtyard gardens or other quiet outdoor spots where you want a quick, refreshing dip, but don’t want the space to be dominated by a large pool. A plunge pool will have to be very carefully planned out, however, as you need the right drainage and safety features, so you can’t just throw one in wherever you have space. Speak to a professional who has experience installing plunge pools beforehand. Of course, with nice garden hot tubs you may not be able swim lengths but you will be able to relax in your garden no matter the weather as you look up at the stars. If you are on a budget there are also affordable inflatable hot tubs that could work in your garden. And, just like inflatable pools, the extra advantage is that they will be able to come with you if you move!

What material should I use for spas or hot tubs?

For a hot tub to survive the changing seasons it is important to choose a material that will be durable. Cedar or other wooden hot tubs can look attractive, but will be harder to maintain. The most popular material is often vinyl for its affordability and versatility but this material is also less likely to last. To get the best bang for your buck, we would recommend opting for a concrete or a fibreglass hot tub or spa, which would provide you with a sturdy solution. In addition, metal above ground hot tubs can be a durable option. To finish off the design of your hot tub we would also recommend that you build a wooden platform around it or take a look at our canopies and gazebos for some privacy. Browse the traditional swimming pools, plunge pools and hot tub photos from professional designers and installers and save your favourites to an ideabook. You can then contact the professionals that worked on any of these swimming pool designs to see if they can create something similar for your house project.
