The pool is about 3 metres in front of the picture. If you look at the neighbouring shots you will see it!

With pools and modern houses, I think bold simple schemes work well. Ornamental grasses planted en masse would look effective. We surrounded a pool with Miscanthus sinensis interplanted with Verbena bonariensis in thin beds for one job. However, given the size of your planting area, this might be too large an area for this treatment. My other suggestion would be to go for a sort of Mediterranean scheme using blocks of small shrubs such as Cistus, Lavender, Hebe, Rosemary and Euphorbia wulfenii. These could be planted in drifts to a selected colour palette and then infilled with grasses and drought loving herbaceous like sedums, salvias and agapanthus. The shrubs work well in that their evergreen foliage and twiggy nature trap the leaves and prevent too much debris blowing into the pool.

A friend is currently having a pool installed in Northern Tuscany and has opted for a very dark liner almost black. We have a pale blue liner - it looks great at night with the lights on and its easy to spot any dirt too. Depending on where you live - Spain or other locations, you might need to check with your local council to confirm if there are any issues with different coloured liners. I know in our case it had to be blue in our part of Italy. Take your time - pools are expensive so you want to get it right.

How exciting! Its funny how deep they look when there is no water in them. When you fill it with water it will seem much shallower. First on some practical points the radiator is a slight concern. What you really need is a small air handling package that is linked to the water temperature and that will ensure the air in the pool house is always a couple of degrees warmer than the water in the pool and is circulating to avoid condensation. It would be good to identify who installed the pool (There might be labels on the pool plant) and to get them in to overhaul and recommission it. You could replace the sliding doors with really good quality (Schuco) sliding folding doors so that the whole lot could be opened back on a sunny day. You could get rid of the radiator and make those windows into full height doors as well. The brick walls are a bit sad - but would be a great surface for fixing slate, stone or tile, and for the floor you could look at a non-slip ceramic porcelain large format tiles. We use Solus Ceramics. http://solusceramics.com Lighting is always tricky - if you put lights in the ceiling over the pool it can be hard to change the bulbs. We have got round this in the past by using fibre optic projector lighting (One central lamp and the light is conducted along inert glass cables to the fittings) but it is quite an expensive option, or instead uplight the ceiling using floor or wall lights. In that case you have to think about what it is that you are uplighting - That acoustic tile ceiling belongs in an office - I would love to replace it with a timber ceiling which would be worth uplighting. http://www.universal-fibre-optics.com/pool-and-wet-area-lighting-projects What part of the country are you in?

Hi Claire ! Adding some thoughts .... If the carpet is going - try to replace it with something equally sound deadening - as otherwise his late night games with the lads will keep everyone below up - with all that pacing and pondering before a shot ! Re decision to go for industrial or gentleman's club - (luckily the lamp will suit either) - which of the two fits in better with the other rooms that lead to or will be enjoyed by guests prior to entering this one.... and which style might you expect from the exterior of the house ? Do you want cohesion with the rest of the home - or is the the wild card room ? If the table is to be the main feature of the room - then don't go too dark on your lower paint colour or it wall blend in too well. But if this IS the effect - then perhaps try ALL graphite - ceilings too ( try a paint a photo app and see if this works for you ) Then add brighter bar seating and warm lighting in that area to make that the prominent piece . Add a separately switched strong white light to aim at the dart board - and I you do go for panelling here too- I'd suggest you mount the dartboard on a layer of either cork or dark rubber matting. I'd suggest, to keep the feel of a billiards room, only light the bar area, and have low lamps in each corner of the room, that can be switched off individually if they interfere with a shot. Nb. As the ceiling is so low - I'd suggest the bar be in the front of the window - so the players can stand upright in that bit much easier. Hope that helps a bit !
