Imperial Pool Builders offer outdoor living space and poolside decorating ideas
Swimming pool owners will find that once they have invested in the pool, they don’t want to spend more time indoors than they have to. Because of that, their thoughts turn to the space around the swimming pool and they look for ways to amp up their outdoor living space.
The swimming pool contractors from Imperial Pools in Decatur, Illinois offer some starting points to consider for your own personal outdoor living space.

- lighting to the area. Perhaps you want a waterfall feature for your pool, but it’s cost prohibitive — if that’s the case, invest in a small home-sized waterfall and place it strategically in your outdoor living area.
- Do you have a fashion sense that you want to extend from your home and your pool into your outdoor living space? If so, let it shine. If not, look to the Internet or magazines for inspiration. Ask us for examples of outdoor living spaces and barbecues we have constructed for our clients.
- Make a list of all of the items you’d love to have in your backyard living space. You may want to even sketch out how you envision it.

Add a few new pieces every summer until you have the outdoor living space of your dreams. Consider fountains, a gazebo, an outdoor kitchen, unique landscaping, a rock waterfall, in pool lighting, lighting and walkways to and from the pool and the house. Let your imagination run wild.
