Contemporary Poolside Cabana
Few things are more relaxing than lounging by a pool on a warm sunny day, except perhaps lounging in a poolside cabana on a warm sunny day! And this dreary weather has us dreaming of sunshine.
Today we’re saying goodbye to winter and HELLO to spring, even if the weather isn’t cooperating. And we’re bringing you with us by touring a refreshing poolside cabana we recently designed. So sit back, relax and join us for all the details!
Our client desired an airy and comfortable space, with generous seating for family and friends, that made the most of the poolside view. We chose a cool color palette of grays and blues with pops of yellow, and selected seating that allowed full view of the wall-to-wall glass doors and swimming pool beyond.
Sheer draperies give privacy without blocking light and can easily be pulled back when desired to enjoy the cabana’s view. A large custom sectional provides comfortable seating or napping, while a corner swivel chair can be maneuvered for conversing with friends or viewing the pool. A faux leather ottoman serves as a table or extra seating.
Sunlight shimmers off a geometric, beaded wall covering which offers a playful backdrop for iridescent wall plates and a champagne metallic floor lamp. Geometric throw pillows echo the design and the playful mood of the room.
Porcelain tile in a gorgeous herringbone pattern provides the look of wood, but the durability of tile in a potentially wet space. An original work of wax art in vibrant shades of teal hangs above a white coral-esque console table. Yellow vases offer further pops of color and join the two spaces.
A small kitchenette houses refreshments and makes entertaining easy. We chose an opalescent glass tile backsplash and elegant quartzite counter to blend beautifully with the surrounding space.
A full bathroom with a frameless glass door shower completes the cabana and continues the sophisticated color palette. The shower’s basketweave tile floor, field subway tile and vertical band of glass mosaic accent tile adorn the space with beautiful form and function.
We feel warmer and more relaxed already! How about you?
