Creating the Perfect Outdoor Space for Your Hot Tub or Swim Spa

Category: Hot Tub, Swim Spa

When you’ve invested in a hot tub or swim spa you want to get the most out of it. Often, that means creating the perfect outdoor space so that you want to be in your swim spa – and around it too. This is a great opportunity to put your aesthetic stamp on this part of your home, to create some luxury or add some great convenience and comfort to the area where your swim spa, or hot tub, sits. Here are a few tips on how to create an outdoor space that is perfect for you.

Surround your hot tub or swim spa with beautiful, tactile plants

Adding greenery is an instant way to refresh an outdoor area – and also to create a really relaxing vibe. Ornamental grasses, for example, can really soften an area that is heavy with concrete. If you opt to plant in a shape that mimics the hot tub or swim spa then the area will feel very minimal, calm and expertly put together.

Add a deck and/or pergola

This will not only make a real feature from the hot tub or swim spa but also provide an aesthetically pleasing setting too. Plus you can add seats and steps and anything else that will make it more enjoyable – and easy – to use the hot tub or swim spa.

Make the most of a view

If you’ve positioned your swim spa or hot tub in front of a stunning view then make sure that the space around it really compliments this. That could mean framing the view with a shading structure or recessing the hot tub or swim spa into decking or into the ground, depending on the terrain.

Add some hard landscaping

This is, essentially, using materials like rock to create something valuable in your outdoor space. That could be providing structure for the pool itself or it might be adding something like an outdoor fire or pizza oven to make the area feel fun, cosy and really unique.

Opt for some natural privacy

If your swim spa or hot tub is exposed then you might want to think about using something like a hedge to create some privacy. The benefits of hydrotherapy are considerably enhanced when you’re relaxed so it can be really important to make sure your outdoor space feels calm and private if that’s what matters to you.

Built-in designs can deliver a high end feel

If you’re considering a hot tub or swim spa as a value-enhancing asset, or you just want to create an outdoor space that feels really high end, then look for a built-in design. It’s a great alternative to a prefab option and can mean that the swim spa or hot tub blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
