Do you love lounging around on hot, summer days in your above-ground pool, but hate the way it looks in your yard? You aren't alone.

But that doesn't mean they can't be! Whether you're searching for ways to spruce up your current pool's look or are on the hunt for inspiration before you buy, we've got you covered with eye-catching above-ground pool ideas to fit any size budget or backyard.

Add Style With Tile

Light It Up

For peaceful evenings or small parties by the pool, soft lighting such as lanterns, candles, tiki torches, string lights and more are a lovely and inexpensive way to glam up your outdoor oasis. Just don't forget to extinguish all flames before you call it a night.
