  Your pool is an oasis for relaxing and getting away from the stress of the busy day. You should choose seating that can help aid in the relaxation and still complement your desired decor. With the numerous options available, your outdoor space will be comfortable, yet fashionable, no matter what your style is.
  
  

Pergola

• A pergola is a wooden canopy that consists of a slotted roof, with or without fabric for shade. Pergolas can be small enough to house a single swinging bench, or large enough to have four walls of bench seating. Pergolas are popular among gardeners who wish to use climbing vines and bushy perennials to highlight their patio space. This idea is perfect for a causal or rustic pool design that allows your guests rich, garden luxury with shaded comfort.
  
  

Fountain

• Fountains are widely used alongside pools to add charm or create a soothing sound. Fountains are often designed with a large bench for seating that either surrounds the fountain perimeter or just encompasses the front half if the fountain is placed against a wall. Your fountain can have a wide, tiled bench in various colors to compliment your landscape or pool. The fountain also may provide tiered levels for a glamorous aesthetic.
  
  

Premier Furniture

• Beyond the basic patio chairs and lounge seats, your pool deck or patio can consist of distinctive furniture. For a country landscape design, you can bring wicker rocking chairs and wooden benches to your patio. For a contemporary landscape, use bright white furniture with thick pillow tops for maximum comfort. If your pool deck or patio is beneath a solid roof, you may also want to decorate your space with a sofa and upholstered chairs. Plush decor items allow the pool surroundings to become lavish and super relaxing.
