Glass Pool Fencing

This aesthetically pleasing trend has been seen in homes lately. Glass pool fences provide many advantages, besides looking classy. Unlike typical fencing materials, glass opens up the space and eyes towards beautiful landscaping or features. It can even be a smart investment to increase property value.

Glass is a safer alternative for families, allowing you to see kids and pets in the pool, as well as keep them from climbing and falling in. It also keeps out unwanted pests and intruders. Elevate the safety and aesthetic of your pool with this trend.

Outdoor Decor

The top trending outdoor decor items today are rugs, prints and rope.

Outdoor rugs are an easy way to elevate an outdoor dining area. Today, owners are opting for a traditional looking rug with more ornate patterns. No need to go with the typical bold and graphic outdoor rugs; use natural colors to complement your furniture.

A natural rug can make your trendy print furniture pop. Many shy away from using any sort of print during decor, but we suggest going bold outdoors. Move away from the typical palm leaf print and try botanical, floral and animal prints, as well as stripes for your furniture pieces or accents. 

Rope decor is typically thought of as a nautical theme, but it has made its way inland. Find rope-upholstered pieces or accents to fit any outdoor space, or DIY your own rope plant holders to hang and spruce up your outdoor plants.
