A pool is one of the largest investments youll make when it comes to the value of your home. Investing thousands of dollars in a pool can mean a significant increase in your homes worth. Wouldnt you want to make the most of it?
There are a few very affordable accessories you can add to your pool to make it more fun and to increase the value of both your pool and your home. Here are some options when it comes to cashing in on your pools worth:
1.Waterfalls. Adding a waterfall to your pool is probably the most expensive recommendation were going to make in this article but it also offers the most value. If you add a fountain or waterfall to your pool, youll immediately distinguish yourself from every other homeowner on the block (maybe even the city). Waterfalls are a great way to enhance the ambiance of your outdoor area and add a little splash to your backyard.
2.Patio. Consumers beware: Decks are out and patios are in. If youve recently installed a backyard pool and are deciding on what to put around it, we highly suggest patio stones. Not only do patio stones look more expensive and contemporary but theyre actually safer for families with children. Theres more traction when it comes to patio stones (as opposed to level concrete) and youll never get a sliver with patio stones (as opposed to wood).
3.Pool/Patio Furniture. Outdoor furniture (whether made for inside the pool or around the pool) will make a huge difference when it comes to the look and feel of your backyard. Many homeowners are opting to purchase full couches and lounge chairs to put by the pool. Many are also investing in floating chairs for inside the pool. The furniture going into your pool wont need to be as aesthetically pleasing as your patio furniture which should be modern and comfortable.
4.Nets. Pool nets are a great way to increase activity and make your pool more fun. Volleyball nets and basketball nets are the most popular sports nets when it comes to accessorizing your pool and wont cost you a very significant amount of money. Potential homebuyers might see a pool net as a bonus to an already lovely pool.
5.Pool Covers. While a pool cover may not be the most aesthetically pleasing accessory for your pool, it is one of the most valuable. A strong, durable pool cover can add years to life of your pool and will help keep it clean year-round.
