Patio Perfection: 6 Tips for Creating a Poolside Paradise

As the sun shines, it’s the perfect time to prepare your patio for poolside relaxation and entertaining. Discover how adding Maitland retractable screens can enhance your outdoor space with increased comfort and functionality.

We are fortunate in the Sunshine State to get outside year-round. But, as it warms up this spring, it’s more inviting to go out and bask in the sunshine. 

Embrace the beautiful weather by enhancing your outdoor living space with Maitland retractable screens. These screens offer versatile protection, allowing you to enjoy your patio without worrying about insects or excessive sunlight.

Picture yourself relaxing by the pool, enjoying a refreshing drink, or hosting a gathering with friends—all while benefiting from the added comfort and convenience that retractable screens provide. They blend into your existing patio design effortlessly, seamlessly transitioning between indoor and outdoor living areas. 

Here are some tips for creating a poolside paradise with Maitland retractable screens to make the most of your outdoor space.

Install Retractable Patio Screens

Enhance your poolside retreat with retractable patio screens. These screens provide shade, privacy, and insect protection while maintaining an open, airy feel. Choose screens that complement your outdoor decor and can withstand weather elements.

Each of our Maitland retractable screens is custom-designed based on your space and privacy needs. Motorized outdoor screens are ideal for keeping bugs out while letting the breeze in.

Define Your Space with Outdoor Furniture

Opt for comfortable and stylish outdoor furniture like lounge chairs, sofas, and dining sets to establish inviting spaces for relaxation and socializing near the pool. Consider durable materials that can withstand outdoor conditions.

With the UV protection provided by motorized retractable screens, your patio furniture will not fade. Our mesh options offer up to 100% UV protection, safeguarding your skin and furniture from sun damage.

Add Lush Greenery and Potted Plants

Incorporate lush greenery and potted plants around your pool area to enhance the natural ambiance and create a tropical retreat. Strategically placing these plants can provide additional privacy and complement the shade supplied by motorized outdoor screens, transforming your poolside area into a tranquil and secluded escape from the outside world. 

Choose low-maintenance plants that grow successfully in your climate for easy upkeep and lasting beauty throughout the seasons.

Create Ambient Lighting

Install outdoor lighting for a relaxing vibe and extend poolside enjoyment into the evening, complementing the ambiance created by your retractable screens. Use string lights, lanterns, or pathway lights to illuminate walkways and seating areas, enhancing the overall atmosphere of your outdoor space. 

Consider LED lights for their energy efficiency and long-lasting glow, ensuring your poolside oasis remains inviting and well-lit after sunset. Speaking of saving energy, did you know that Phantom Screens can help reduce your energy bills? By keeping out UV rays, these screens help keep your patio cooler, reducing the workload on your air conditioner.

Incorporate Water Features

Enhance the tranquility of your poolside retreat with water features like fountains, cascading waterfalls, or a soothing poolside waterfall. The sound of flowing water adds a calming effect to the outdoor space.

Your retractable screens provide a cooler patio area, so you’ll spend countless hours relaxing to the sounds of nature.
