OUTDOOR AREAS / POOLS

I love this bold, septic tank pool. Super cool and adds an artsy spin into an otherwise traditional outdoor area 

Outdoor showers are going to be the next hot thing, you wait and see

Don't judge a book by its cover. Well, despite that being good advice for most things in life you can definitely shelve that thought for these stunning outdoor areas. I've started a garden pinboard on Pinterest which you can see here ( all credits can be found on the corresponding photos too ) alongside an exteriors pinboard for generally awesome architecture and front of house design.

As much as my interests lay in how to put together a good room, the outside besides being the actual entry point, is really the string that ties the entire story together. Green has been embedding itself as a favourite of mine in this past year. It's fresh, cool and energetic without being jarring or in your face. Surrounding yourself with plants and greenery is such an excellent way to provide a sense of rejuvenation hence why gardens authorise just as much importance as what kinds of colours you choose to deck your rooms in. 

When I was in primary school, one of my friends asked me what I'd choose between a tennis court or a pool ( yes, first world hypothetical musings for sure 😶 ). It's such a no brainer, of course you'd choose a pool ( who would choose tennis court?  ) Having a pool is really the dream in life, isn't it? I love this pool area right here with its canopied garden above. I'm no landscape architect but it's pretty safe to guess that dimension and structure are the keystones of creating good outdoor areas.

Original and putting a new spin on an old thing - Rock pool as regular pool. The pebbles provide an escape to nature as well as being pretty to look at  

Green and White - Forever classic and fitting combination of colours 

Concrete features and greenery puts a modern, contemporary spin on the backyard
