Poolside Furniture Ideas: Nardi Sun Loungers in 6 Real Pool Projects

Looking for poolside furniture ideas? The best way to plan a pool area is to see how others have done it. Here are six real pool projects, from the hills near Verona to the Seychelles, all furnished with Nardi sun loungers and side tables. Each one shows a different way to lay out loungers, shade and somewhere to put a drink, and every piece is available from Custom Wood Designs in Ireland.

• The Nardi Atlantico sun lounger appears in almost every project: its backrest has four positions and it stacks for winter.
• Pair loungers in twos with a low side table between them. It is the simplest layout and it works on any size of terrace.
• Nardi resin does not rust or rot, so it suits pools, hot tubs and coastal gardens. Just rinse it with fresh water now and then.
• Nardi usually arrives in 2–6 weeks, so order in early spring if you want it in place for summer.

1. Villa Nichesola, near Verona, Italy: loungers in a parkland setting

A historic noble villa in the hills near Soave lines its pool with Atlantico sun loungers and small Pop side tables. The white loungers sit on the lawn, surrounded by old trees, so the pool feels like part of the garden rather than a separate zone.

Take the idea home: if your pool or hot tub sits on grass, choose light loungers you can move to follow the sun. Atlantico is easy to lift and stacks away when the season ends.

2. Calheta, Madeira: a row of loungers facing the ocean

On Madeira's south coast, a pool with a view over the Atlantic uses a simple row of Atlantico loungers, each with a side table. Nothing blocks the view, and every lounger gets the same outlook.

Take the idea home: a straight row is the best layout when you have a view to protect. Keep the backs low and the colours neutral so the furniture does not compete with the scenery.

3. Petit Amour Villa, Seychelles: loungers with a low table

This private villa pairs Atlantico loungers with the Nardi Step low table. The table sits at the same height as the lounger, so books, sunglasses and drinks are always within reach.

Take the idea home: our Atlantico sun lounger set gives you two loungers and a low table in one order, which is the same pairing used here.

4. Punta Sal, Peru: a minimal pool on the Pacific

A private home on the Peruvian coast keeps its pool deck very simple: Atlantico loungers and nothing else. The clean, curved shape of the lounger is the only decoration the space needs.

Take the idea home: on a small deck, fewer pieces look better. Two good loungers will always look more expensive than four cramped ones.

5. Barcelona, Spain: loungers plus relaxing armchairs

At BlackB_House, a modern villa in Barcelona, the pool area mixes Atlantico loungers with Net Relax armchairs. The armchairs give guests somewhere to sit upright and chat, while others stretch out on the loungers.

Take the idea home: add one or two Nardi Net Relax chairs beside your loungers. They are comfortable without cushions and they dry quickly after a swim or a shower.

6. Le Marche, Italy: a country pool with Omega loungers

A country estate near Ascoli Piceno chose the Nardi Omega sun lounger, along with Net Relax armchairs. Omega has a slimmer profile and an adjustable backrest, and it stacks just like Atlantico.

Take the idea home: the Nardi Omega sun lounger is a good choice if you need several loungers and want them to stack neatly in a shed or garage.

Choosing pool and sun loungers for an Irish garden

Most Irish gardens don't have a pool, but the same ideas work for a hot tub, a sunny patio or a deck. Choose loungers that you can leave out after a shower and stack away in winter. Nardi resin is UV-stabilised, so colours stay true, and it does not rust or rot. Add a cushion for extra comfort, and bring cushions indoors when you are not using them.
