Furnish and decorate your pool area so that you can enjoy it all summer long. Pool surrounds can be considered as a real room in the house, and deserve all our care to make them idyllic places to relax. To make the most of your pool, follow our advice and find the right balance between mineral and plant elements...

Protect yourself from prying eyes

Are your neighbors close to your pool area? Would you like to create a more intimate, unoverlooked space? Create a plant screen or a mineral wall covered with wall cladding. They’ll be indispensable allies in creating an intimate, cocooning space. ORSOL cladding panels allow you to be daring and stylish. Mix materials and plants to create harmony and warmth. For plants, remember to choose evergreen foliage for easy maintenance and protection, even in the dead of winter.

Create a pleasant living space in tune with your home and your desires

An important element that will enhance your pool is the façade of your home. It’s directly linked to your pool area, and the two must coexist in harmony. The front of the house will therefore play a very important role in the décor to enhance it. Adding a mineral touch to your facades with wall cladding will create a warm, relaxing atmosphere that will almost make you think you’re on vacation.

Looking for minimalist decor around the pool?

Combine a coated façade or metal cladding with a façade clad with stone cladding panels to give the pool area a contemporary, minimalist feel. For an added touch of warmth, cover the terrace with wood.

Like a longing for somewhere else?

Dare to create a change of scenery in your décor. Play with contrasting materials and colors to add character to the area around your pool. Colored wall cladding will enhance the facades and highlight the environment. Plants will soften the strong elements of the decor.
