Australians love nothing better than a refreshing dip in their backyard pool. To keep it as fabulous and inviting as the day it was installed, a renovation can really boost its appeal.
According to Beaumont Tiles design specialist Christie Wood, the biggest challenge most face when considering a pool renovation is working out where to start, given the plethora of styles to choose from in designing the ideal outdoor retreat.
"It can be confusing, but a golden rule when it comes to a pool is getting the right combination of large-format and mosaics to really level up your upcoming renovation," she says.
"To help you strike this balance, you can use tools such as Beaumont's "What's My Style?" to identify which look best suits your personality, likes and lifestyle, and "BeVisual Live" to then visualise how certain tiles will look in your pool area."
Christie says for those who are not so confident with selecting a style, there are three sure-fire and timeless looks that can turn any pool area into a private home retreat for years to come.
