Pool Party passion: a guide

A special setting for fun-packed evenings

During the summer, the pool side is not only a great place for relaxing but also the perfect venue for a host of events. To make your event a success, great attention needs to be paid to the choice of accessories and decorations that really enhance the setting and create an enchanting night-time atmosphere. Here are some tips for organising a fun-packed and original pool party.

choosing the right outdoor furnishings

Choosing a theme for your pool party can also provide superb inspiration for your garden furniture; whether this is a particular colour or the latest trend, it is easy to personalise your outdoor spaces: in the chill-out area with deckchairs and sun loungers, you can place towels that reflect the theme. Under the gazebo, you can use a set of cutlery, plates and glasses that also match the theme, and in the green areas of your garden, you can arrange hammocks and unusual seating. Whether you are organising an all-white party or a Hawaiian banquet, let your imagination run wild: the main thing is to amaze your guests!

create bewitching atmospheres with light

Clever lighting is one of the best ways to decorate the pool area. In addition to traditional lamps, for example wreaths of outdoor lights, you can also create stunning effects using simple glass jars with tea-lights inside. These lanterns can be hung on trees or placed along a pathway leading up to the party area. There are many other elements that can be transformed by the clever use of light: floating lights in the pool, sofas with built-in lighting and luminous wine glasses for making extravagant toasts.

dine in good company!

The best thing is to prepare a cold buffet with food and fruit that are suited to summer evenings, and easily digestible just in case someone wants to take a late night dip. Finger food is an absolute must, as this can be prepared using seasonal produce and with perfect results. On the drinks side, in addition to classic cocktails, other recipes based on fruit, with or without alcohol, can also be prepared to suit all tastes. No dessert selection would be complete without ice cream in a host of different flavours, dairy or fruit flavours, to end in style.

let’s dance!

Music is a must for any event and the choice of music really contributes to the success of any pool party. Your friends will be keen to hear those loudspeakers vibrate because they create the right mood and are the heart and soul of the party! To amaze your guests, you could hire a live band: your friends can gather around the stage or dance in the water to the beat. You could also opt for a DJ. Depending on the type of party you can work out a playlist and transform the time after dinner into a real disco.

the pool steals the show

Naturally, the central element of your party is the pool, and the finishing touches are crucial for enhancing this very special area. Ceramiche Coem has several collections that are specially designed for outdoor spaces and swimming pool areas; with the Dualmood collection, for example, and its particular graphic texture, it is possible to exalt the depth and texture of these ceramic tiles, which are also resistant and practical. If you prefer a very green mood in harmony with the greenery of the garden, the warm shades of the Cardoso collection make an excellent choice. Goldenstone will transport you to faraway lands. This collection is in fact inspired by the unique and ancient Jerusalem stone from Israel. If you prefer a more “country” style, take a look at the Aquitaine collection, with ceramic tiles inspired by the simplicity and luminous elegance of the typical stones used in French architecture. The Modica collection exudes Sicilian charm: this stone-effect porcelain stoneware will brighten up your poolside with natural tones, from white with grey hues to a warmer shade of beige. If you prefer something that really blends in with your garden, you can opt for the collection “I Sassi”, which takes its name and inspiration from river stones.
