Pools are often at the center of many summertime events! Making use of the outdoor space with splashy decor and entertainment adds to the festive, warm-weather atmosphere. John Elliott Interiors has years of experience when it comes to creating the ultimate poolside experience this summer for our customers. From floating masterpieces to pool toys, here are a few ways to enhance a summer pool party experience.

Seating

Let’s start with seating since every great pol party starts with some yummy food and snacks! Make sure there are plenty of places for people to gather and sit to eat. Also, ensure there is ample lounging seating as well for those who like to bask in the sun. You should also think about extra accents tables for people to stand around or use next to the pool. The outdoor entertaining area should be arranged in a way that brings people together and makes everyone feel comfortable! John Elliott Interiors has some great examples we would love to share with you!

Music

Have the music already pumping as people gradually show up, no one wants to walk into an awkwardly quiet pool party! Make a playlist ahead of time, filled with your summer jam songs playing back-to-back!

Food

Every great pool party has the best snacks! You can choose to grill a meal that can feed a crowd paired with light snacks that’ll be okay to sit out. Make it refreshing and easy for people to grab and go. Creative party cups is a great way to encourage people to try fun drinks, poolside. Make sure you have a few options for people who have food sensitivities or allergies. You could even make fun labels to avoid all the food questions!
