There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing features to deck out your swimming pool, and you'll want to make sure it's perfect to make it through our hot and humid summers in Nebraska. When you're thinking about what to add to your new swimming pool, consider what you'll get the most use out of so that you can fully enjoy your new outdoor space! Bar stools, sun shelves, water features, and fire walls are all upgrades that bring something new to the atmosphere and encourage different activities. Whether you want to encourage conversation, relaxation, or a little of both, one of these features will be a must-have in your new pool area!


Adding bar stools to your pool design gives you a comfortable, in-pool seat to relax.

Bar stools are a perfect pool design addition for those who are serial hosters and love bringing people together. With in-pool bar stools, you can spend time with friends and family in the water completely at ease. This is also a great addition for those with elderly guests that may be more comfortable relaxing on a steady seat than standing or treading water. Some people take it a step further and install a mini bar table in front of the stool so you have a place to rest your drink while cooling off in the pool!


A sun shelf is perfect for getting a tan and staying cool.

For those who tan, a sun shelf is a no-brainer. There's nothing better than soaking up vitamin D while relaxing in cooling pool water! Your sun shelf can either be for you to lay directly on in the water, or it can also be a larger platform that you set your favorite sun chairs out on. This latter option is great for those that want to be able to dip a toe in now and then while they enjoy the sun!


Accentuate the soothing atmosphere with additional water features like fountains, bubblers, and more.

Water features are a great addition to any outdoor space and will fit seamlessly in your pool design. The two water elements work hand-in-hand to deliver a truly soothing atmosphere. There are many options for water features, with some of the most popular being:

  • Fountains
  • Bubblers
  • Overspills
  • And more!

Any of these features will not only accentuate the soothing ambiance of your pool, but also provide interest and movement in your outdoor space!

A bubbling boulder will add character to your pool design and can be made out of beautiful materials like granite or limestone.


Bring balance to your pool with a fire wall that adds subtle lighting and warmth.

Add some yin to your yang by incorporating a fire wall in your swimming pool design. Having a fire element next to your stunning new pool will create balance and a little interesting spice in the design. Not only will a fire wall create some warmth, but it'll also add subtle lighting. The sound of a crackling fire alongside gently moving water as you swim will foster the luxurious atmosphere you've been looking for!
