Your backyard can be your sanctuary. It’s a place to escape, to enjoy, and to connect with the people you love the most. This is why you should put the work and time into making a space that you want to spend time in. A Beachcomber Hot Tub is just one aspect of creating this. Your spa can become a central feature to the space, but it’s important to have the right furniture and accessories around.
Choose Moisture-Resistant Materials
Hot tubs bring warmth and relaxation, but they also bring humidity and splashes. That means your outdoor furniture needs to withstand the elements. Look for:
- Teak and eucalyptus: Naturally weather-resistant woods that age beautifully.
- All-weather wicker: Durable and classic, perfect for spa-style elegance.
- Powder-coated aluminum: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and sleek.
- Quick-dry cushions: Fabrics like Sunbrella are water-repellent, UV-resistant, and mildew-resistant. This is ideal for spa-side lounging.
Pro tip: Choose furniture with removable covers for easy cleaning.
Create Relaxation Zones
The moments before and after a soak are just as important. Add cozy seating to encourage lingering:
- Chaise lounges or outdoor daybeds: Perfect for drying off under the sun.
- Adirondack chairs: A timeless and ergonomic addition to any spa setup.
- Modular sectionals: Great for entertaining or stretching out solo with a good book.
Layer in soft outdoor rugs to create a barefoot-friendly area that feels just as inviting as your living room.
Add Function with Stylish Surfaces
Keep essentials within arm’s reach with smart furniture choices:
- Side tables: Ideal for drinks, books, or a Bluetooth speaker.
- Bar carts: Mobile and multi-purpose to let you serve spa water, wine, or your favorite mocktails.
- Towel ladders or storage benches: Provide easy access to towels while doubling as stylish décor.
If your hot tub is raised or built into a deck, consider bar-height stools for a built-in social spot.
Elevate with Privacy and Ambiance
A little privacy goes a long way when you’re soaking in your spa. Enhance the atmosphere with:
- Privacy screens or trellises: Add a modern or natural barrier without feeling boxed in.
- Outdoor curtains: Soft, romantic, and easy to pull back when needed.
- Lighting: Use LED string lights, lanterns, or pathway lighting to create a serene evening vibe.
Bonus idea: Add a small fire table nearby to keep warm and create a cozy social hub.
Design with Cohesion in Mind
Don’t just think about individual pieces, make sure you think about your backyard as a cohesive experience.
- Pick a color palette that complements your hot tub exterior or surrounding landscaping.
- Add throw pillows and accent pieces that reflect your style—be it modern, boho, coastal, or classic.
- Incorporate natural elements like planters, potted herbs, or a vertical garden wall.
Small touches can bring big personality—and they photograph beautifully, too.
The perfect hot tub deserves the perfect setup around it. Whether you’re aiming for a spa-inspired retreat or a stylish space for entertaining, choosing the right furniture is the key to unlocking your backyard’s full potential. At Beachcomber Hot Tubs, we believe relaxation should extend beyond the water.
