Does your pool look like a disaster area every time it gets used? Are there pool chemical bottles, towels, pool toys, and more all over your backyard? A pool and outdoor features can really bring your backyard to life, but all of the stuff that comes along with it can really make it look kind of cluttered. Here are some great ways to store pool and spa accessories in a chic, fun, and stylish way.
Take advantage of secret spaces
There are a lot of products out there that can serve two purposes for your pool. For example, you can buy pool steps that also double as a storage for your pool toys or equipment. If you have a deck around your pool, consider making some of the seating with a lid that opens up to allow for storage of pool accessories. There are many outdoor living pieces that are designed today with storage in mind – from ottomans to tables and much more, find the ones with a dual purpose…aesthetic and functionality.
Use large hooks
These can be attached to a wall or fence and offer a great way to store your items in a way that looks neat and clean. While they won’t be completely out of view, you can maintain the beautiful look of your pool by putting these hooks in more hidden areas. If you don’t want to hide your items or don’t have the space, install the hooks along with decorations around them. For example, you can find some large letters to spell out your family’s names.
Buy specialized containers to store pool and spa accessories
These come in a range of sizes and colors to match with the design of your backyard. Remember to pick storage bins that will go along with the current aesthetic of your pool. Some storage bins for pools are not enclosed – which means that you can still see all of the items being stored. Depending on the feel of your backyard, you may decide to buy a storage bin that completely covers what is being stored.
No matter how you store pool and spa accessories, make sure that you’re doing so in a safe way. Keep chemicals and pool equipment out of reach of the little ones and instruct them to steer clear from it. Decide what kind of storage will allow you to keep a beautiful and stylish backyard while still being functional.
