Weathered Timber Pool Deck with Loungers
Framing a rectangular swimming pool, this Mediterranean Spanish Revival pool deck features weathered wood decking, poolside loungers, white stucco walls, terracotta roof tiles, open arches, upright cypresses, and purple bougainvillea.
Design notes
Mediterranean design is about shade and thick walls. Look for stucco in warm neutrals, terracotta or travertine underfoot, arches and loggias that throw deep shadow, and gravel courtyards rather than lawn. Water is small and central — a fountain, a rill, a tiled spa — and planting is drought-tolerant: olives, cypress, lavender, rosemary and bougainvillea. Wrought iron, blue-and-white tile and a long table under vines finish the picture.
What to look for
- Board direction and how it changes the apparent size
- Edges: built-in benches and planters instead of rail where allowed
- Stairs wide enough to double as seating
