Accessorising your hot tub with the right furniture can make a big difference in creating a relaxing and functional space around it. Here are some ideas to help enhance both the aesthetics and usability of your hot tub area:
1. Outdoor Seating and Loungers
- Sectional Sofa Sets: Canadian Spa Company offer modular surround furniture for both square and round hot tubs. These can be arranged to create a social seating area for friends and family and enhance the look of your tub.
- Comfortable Loungers: Ideal for sunbathing or relaxing before and after a dip. Look for loungers with weather-resistant cushions and adjustable reclining features.
- Foldable Deck Chairs: Convenient for smaller spaces, foldable chairs offer flexibility and can be stored when not in use.
2. Side Tables and Storage Benches
- Side Tables: Small tables next to the hot tub can be used to hold drinks, towels, or spa essentials. Choose weatherproof and durable material such as synthetic rattan as featured in our surround furniture.
- Storage Benches: Weatherproof storage benches are the perfect place for keeping towels, cushions, and accessories organised and dry.
3. Privacy Screens and Gazebos
- Gazebos or Pergolas: A gazebo, such as the Frazer Gazebo, provides a shaded retreat and adds elegance to the hot tub area. Incorporate LED lighting or drapes, which add privacy and ambiance at night.
- Privacy Screens: Portable screens or lattice panels can create a secluded vibe around your hot tub area. Consider using plants like bamboo or ivy to add a touch of greenery.
4. Hot Tub Steps and Towel Warmers
-
Steps: Are essential for entering and exiting your hot tub safely and incorporating them into modular furniture adds to the aesthetic of your spa area.
- Towel Warmers: A towel warmer or heated rack provides an extra touch of luxury. You can install one near the hot tub or add a freestanding electric model.
5. Lighting for Ambiance and Safety
- String Lights or Solar Lanterns: Create a cozy ambiance with string lights or solar-powered lanterns. Hanging these around the perimeter or on a gazebo can make the area feel magical at night.
- Pathway Lights: Illuminate the walkway to your hot tub for safety and a welcoming atmosphere. LED stake lights are ideal for marking the path or perimeter.
6. Plant Stands and Decorative Planters
- Tall Planters: Place tall planters with low-maintenance plants or ornamental grasses to create a natural, spa-like feel. Choose water-resistant, durable planters to withstand the elements such as these synthetic rattan planters
- Wall-Mounted or Hanging Planters: If you have walls or fences near the hot tub, hanging plants can add a vertical element and enhance privacy.
7. Outdoor Rugs
- Outdoor rugs not only add style but also create a cosy area around the hot tub. Choose a weatherproof rug that’s resistant to mildew, UV rays, and moisture.
8. Weatherproof Covers
- Invest in a quality hot tub cover to protect your hot tub when it’s not in use. It is a good idea to use a lifter to make it easy to remove and replace your cover, which adds convenience and extends its life.
- Cover guards: these protect your precious cover even further from the elements therefore extending its lifespan.
9. Bar or Refreshment Station
- A small bar cart or refreshment station nearby is a nice addition, especially if you enjoy drinks while relaxing in the hot tub. Look for one with wheels, so you can move it easily or incorporate it into your modular surround.
Accessorising with a mix of functionality and style will make your hot tub area feel like an extension of your home, giving it a more inviting, luxurious feel and blending into the landscape of your garden.
