Pool Deck Styling Ideas for Maximum Relaxation
Setting the atmosphere is the number one priority when designing any layout for your home; and your pool deck is no exception. You want to make sure that your poolside configuration rings true to your style and the energy.
Your pool is your focal point, but you can bring more comfort, functionality, and style to the space surrounding it. From minimalistic to bold, follow along to learn some of our top layouts to complete your pool deck area:
Minimalist pool deck ideas
If you want a minimalistic style around your pool deck, your furniture should be streamlined around the pool to achieve a clean and modern look. Be strategic in placing any potted trees and plants so it doesn’t distract from the style. You don’t want to overwhelm your pool deck with too many elements.
Concrete furniture and metal outdoor sets exude elegance and sophistication, while simple wood patio furniture adds a touch of nature and warmth to the poolside.
Style tip: Curate a unique look by mixing materials.
Farmhouse and Boho pool deck ideas
Bring comfort to your pool deck layout with farmhouse or boho energy. Your guests will appreciate your flair with neutral-colored fringe umbrellas, a bold outdoor rug, and waterproof, patterned pillows and cushions. Add a hammock and hanging chairs to really accentuate the good vibes.
Style tip: For any style you choose, stick to colorways that mix and match seamlessly into your pool and outdoor scheme.
Deliver charm from day to evening by adding outdoor lights. If your pool deck has landscaping around it, setting up path lights for nighttime swimming sessions or pool parties. Or consider installing outdoor hanging lights or fairy lights on the ceiling of the covered patio, pergola, or trellis for a dose of whimsy. And, if your ceiling allows it, we recommend installing an outdoor ceiling fan to keep the air flowing throughout the pool deck.
Styling a large pool deck
If you have a large outdoor area, create different seating arrangements around the area that are sectioned off by walkways. Here are some open-concept ideas for creating a configuration that encourage your guests to relax and socialize:
1.
Create an area with chaise lounge chairs to relax or dry under the sun, an umbrella in case you or your guests need a little break from the heat, and a few small side tables to set drinks and knickknacks.
Shop lounge chairs2.
Designate another space for fun and games with comfortable beanbags, ottomans, and accent stools that can also be used as short side tables. Plus, these chairs are portable, meaning you can easily move them to other areas of your outdoor oasis. For the finishing touch, consider adding a firepit to keep guests warm in the evening.
Shop ottomans3.
Last but not least, make sure you allot a space for dining al fresco. Invest in a beautiful outdoor table with lounge or counter chairs, ideal for settling down with your plate. If you don’t have space for a dining table, you can remove the seats and consider a bar or bistro table. They come in various heights and sizes to fit the smallest and narrowest pool decks. Style your dining area with an outdoor rug and waterproof cushions with a pop of color.

Whether you have a large or small space around your pool deck, you can still create an aesthetically pleasing and inviting space that fits your interior design.
For a small deck
For any small area, less is always more. We recommend keeping your seating arrangement symmetrical and opting for dual-purpose furniture that also serves as storage for extra towels, pool toys, and floaties. Instead of a coffee table, end tables and ottomans with trays would save floor space.
For a narrow deck
If your pool deck has a narrow space, stick to narrow furniture such as bistro chairs and table consoles. You can even find convertible outdoor tables that transform from a simple console table to a full dining table. Adding a cantilever umbrella that overhangs your seating is another excellent outdoor piece that not only keeps out of the way but provides a lot of shade in your narrow pool deck.
