Many hot tub design in use

A hot tub is an excellent addition to any home outdoor spa, but making them feel like part of the space after installation, and not an afterthought, can be tricky. Plus, figuring out whether a hot tub is worth it is part of the battle—if you can’t make money off it, you should at least enjoy it.

Whether you’re looking to outdoor hot tub spa, or are hoping to spruce up the one you have, we’ve pulled together a few great ideas to take your hot tub deck from dull to dreamy.

Hot Tub Deck With Privacy Screen

If the idea of lounging in your swimmies in view of everyone makes you a bit less enthused, try adding a privacy screen for the full spa effect. Go for a traditional fence, an ivy-covered trellis or opt for a more modern design like these contrasting slatted screens designed by Kevin Twitty Interiors.

Hot Tub Deck With Bar Seating

Unwinding with a glass of wine is great, but what about enjoying a drink tub-side? Tie in some bar seating alongside your hot tub so everyone can indulge both in and out of the tub. Keeping room for some comfortable seating nearby ensures everyone can lounge together.
