Outdoor Living and Swimming Pool Essentials

With the warmer weather just on our heels, more and more Australians are looking to spend time outdoors.  This increases the demand for comfortable and high quality outdoor furniture.  What a better way to cool off than spend some time in your swimming pool or relax under the shade in your backyard.

When choosing furniture for your pool area, it is important to go for pieces that will complement your pool, its colour and shape.

When it comes to your swimming pool, the most distinct feature to set them apart from the rest are the tiles that you place underneath.  The choice of tile will give it that wow factor and really make your pool a conversation starter.

The most common types of pool tiles are glass and porcelain- read below to find out how each enhance the beauty of your pool in their own way:

Glass

These tiles come in vivid shades of blue, green and turquoise.  They are inspired from the bold and beautiful waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
