This family's guests dine poolside or in one of several verandas overlooking the water, so in lieu of an unused formal dining room, a stellar Game Room was designed. Keeping in the style of a Victorian retreat, this space boasts antique pine wall paneling, with upholstered acoustic wall panels. Play pool , shuffle board, or Wii (with room to dance of course). The wood panel doors adjacent to the pool table open into the home theatre. The light above those doors allows for sign inserts to show their house guests what movie will be viewed! The far end of the room is flanked by two set of double doors and gets a perfect cross breeze for the cigar lounge.

The simplistic, modern design of the patented Puck ottoman/table is a perfect fit for any patio, poolside or deck décor. The Puck is 36'' in diameter, 16'' high and weighs only 17 lbs for easy maneuverability. The interior of the Puck is made of polymeric structural foam and layers of cushioning foam that are covered in a waterproof membrane made of marine grade vinyl. The vinyl has a slightly textured surface that gives it the appearance of real leather. Its firm appearance belies the soft cushiony comfort you experience when you sit down. It is stain, fungal and mildew resistant and cleans easily with soap and water. The outer cover is removable and easily replaceable with a new cover as it ages or if it is ever damaged. Materials used in construction are 95% recyclable.

An outdoor kitchen with a fire table sits adjacent to the bar, creating a seamless space for entertaining. The expansive pool serves as the focal point, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Covered sections provide relief from sun-filled days, ensuring comfort and enjoyment throughout the yard. Ultimately, this design prioritizes personal enjoyment, accentuating the stunning views and creating a welcoming oasis for relaxation and leisure.

Patio - contemporary patio idea in New York

Welcome to Parker county. This arched custom cedar door provides entrance & exit from the garden to the driveway. This helps screen the view of the cars from the adjacent pool area. This Parker county beauty has shade on both sides of the pool thanks to the 2 arbors. There is a flagstone beach entry, built in table, multiple waterfalls to give views from all areas of the yard. The raised spa has a natural looking stream going into the pool. The spa also has top step surrounding the seating well to give larger visual look without larger gallons & heating time. The LED lights and low voltage lighting around the pool give it a calming atmosphere at night. It is enclosed in Granbury chopped stone screen walls with stone archway. Photos by Mike Farley

Up close and angled toward the pool, this image centers the patio’s function—sunbathing, reading, or relaxing post-swim. The sharp contrast between the pale concrete and lush turf makes the deck feel alive and intentional.

Partnering with Betz Pools, this personal oasis became reality with several outdoor lifestyle additions. ShadeFX customized a 14’ x 12’ retractable shade structure, complete with curtains to define and add privacy to the open-air living space.

We used hardscape and greenscape to define the outdoor spaces in this McLean, VA backyard. The flagstone pool deck is slightly elevated, its edges softened by liriope. The circular patio area contains Buckskin flagstone in an irregular cut pattern.

The perfect place for any family to hang out. Poolside is where this room is located in the basement of this home. Suited for a family but in this case used as a man cave. Complete with a bar area, full kitchen, living room, game table and storage. The luxury vinyl flooring helps with families or pets coming in from the pool area.

If the walk-through grotto doesn’t make this one of the best lagoons in Florida, there is a fire pit peninsula between the lounge chairs on the sun shelf and the in-pool seating cove next to the oversize spa to maximize the space. From the spa we make our way to the amazing pool deck area, with room for multiple chaise lounges to soak in the sun, the pool view or the bay vista, docks and beyond. Back poolside, the oversize tiki hut has a hammock, outdoor deep seating with tables, art and more. Photo: Geza Darrah

This patio and pool in remodel Long Beach, CA was designed to create an open space and easy access to the pool. Starting with brand new stone tiling, natural colors were introduced to compliment the sun's movement to the west creating beautiful warm tones during sunsets. All new patio furniture facing the pool adds even more comforting elements of relaxation and a real poolside lounge experience. An outdoor dining table and kitchen with stainless steel BBQ, and outdoor fridge provide easy access to a patio cookout anytime. Take a look at our entire portfolio here: http://bit.ly/2nJOGe5

Located on a large farm in southern Wisconsin, this family retreat focuses on the creation of large entertainment spaces for family gatherings. The main volume of the house is comprised of one space, combining the kitchen, dining, living area and custom bar. All spaces can be enjoyed within a new custom timber frame, reminiscent of local agrarian structures. In the rear of the house, a full size ice rink is situated under an open-air steel structure for full enjoyment throughout the long Wisconsin winter. A large pool terrace and game room round out the entertain spaces of the home. Photography by Reagen Taylor
