A cabana can be a luxurious addition to your home, especially if you have a swimming pool in your backyard. Originally designed as a bathhouse, cabanas have found their way into modern homes as places for entertainment, relaxation, and an outdoor space where people can just kick off their shoes and relax.
Here are a few steps for pool cabana preparation:
Decide How Much You Want to Spend
Coming up with a budget to determine how much you want to spend is the first step to preparing for a pool cabana. Your budget should determine the following:
- Size of the pool cabana
- Materials needed
- Amenities to be included
Decide on the Perfect Location
A pool cabana is a permanent structure, and finding the perfect location for it is paramount. A perfect location can maximize the cabana’s functionality and aesthetic appeal in addition to its access to direct sunlight and the anticipated foot traffic around the pool area.
Determine the Perfect Layout and Design
A dream cabana has the perfect layout and design. Given the complexity of design and layout aspects, you will need to consult a professional designer to bring your design vision into reality as well as help with the size, seating, orientation, and shape of the pool cabana.
Material Selection
Before you can have your dream pool cabana, you should decide on the quality of the material you will use in its construction. The consideration in this step is the durability and the visual appeal of the pool cabana, but your budget and design choices will determine if you will use wood, steel, stone, or concrete.
Focus on Aeration and Light Sources
Essentially, pool cabanas are used mostly during summer, and they should be comfortable for use during this hot season. You can decide to install ceiling fans or use large windows that you can open to let in natural airflow. The lighting you choose will determine if you can use the cabana at night or only during the day.
Landscape Design
Your pool cabana should not stand out like a sore thumb, and deciding on a landscape design is an important step in preparing for a dream pool cabana. A landscape design will make the pool cabana a natural part of your home, and trees, shrubs, and other plants will add texture and color to the small structure.
Customized Décor
Your final step in preparing for your dream pool cabana is determining the finishing touches to give it a personalized look. The choice of outdoor furniture, rugs, curtains, accessories, and cushions will speak about your personal style.
