Hot Tub Hacks to Turn Your Outdoor Space into a Summer Oasis
At OC Spas, we’re passionate about helping our customers create the perfect garden retreat. As the leading Artesian spas dealer in Cornwall, we know that a hot tub can transform any outdoor space into a luxurious summer oasis. Here are some of our favourite hot tub hacks to elevate your outdoor area and make the most of the warmer weather.
1. Create a Tranquil Setting with Strategic Landscaping
One of the easiest ways to enhance your hot tub area is by incorporating lush greenery and landscaping. Planting shrubs, flowers, and even small trees around your hot tub can provide privacy and a serene atmosphere. Consider using bamboo, ferns, or ornamental grasses for a tropical feel.
For those who own or are considering purchasing a hot tub for therapeutic purposes, a soothing ambience is key. Adding fragrant flowers like lavender or jasmine can help create a soothing environment, perfect for relaxation.
2. Add Ambiance with Outdoor Lighting
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood around your hot tub. String lights, lanterns, or LED pathway lights can add a touch of luxury to your outdoor space.
The majority of the Artesian Spas offered by OC Spas have built in LED lighting systems, with changeable settings to help tailor your luxury spa experience to your preferences.
3. Install a Sound System
Music can enhance the overall experience of using your hot tub. Installing a waterproof Bluetooth speaker system allows you to enjoy your favourite tunes while you relax. Whether you prefer calming spa music or upbeat summer hits, having a sound system will make your hot tub time even more enjoyable.
For those interested in an Artesian Spa for their outdoor space, many of the Artesian collections offer additional music systems, for example the Artesian Elite Spa collection.
4. Incorporate Comfortable Seating
Comfortable seating around your hot tub is essential for creating a welcoming oasis. Invest in weather-resistant outdoor furniture like lounge chairs, benches, or even a hammock. Providing plush cushions and throws will ensure that you and your guests can relax in style before or after a soak.
5. Use a Hot Tub Cover
A high-quality hot tub cover is one of the most important hot tub hacks. It helps keep debris out of the water, maintains the temperature, and reduces energy costs. At OC Spas, we offer a range of durable covers that can also be aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with your outdoor decor.
6. Enhance Privacy with Screens and Fencing
Privacy is key to enjoying your hot tub without any interruptions. Installing a privacy screen or fencing can shield your hot tub from neighbours and add a sense of seclusion. You can choose from a variety of materials such as wood, bamboo, or vinyl, depending on your style preference.
7. Keep It Clean with Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your hot tub in top condition. At OC Spas, we offer comprehensive hot tub servicing and management to ensure your spa is always ready for use. This includes cleaning filters, checking water chemistry, and performing necessary repairs. Keeping your hot tub clean and well-maintained will enhance your overall experience and prolong the life of your spa.
8. Accessorise with Spa-Friendly Amenities
Adding spa-friendly amenities can take your hot tub experience to the next level. Consider installing a spa bar for drinks and snacks, or add a towel warmer for a touch of luxury. Aromatherapy diffusers and waterproof pillows can also enhance your relaxation.
9. Make It Seasonal
While summer is the perfect time to enjoy your hot tub, don’t forget to prepare it for other seasons too. In Cornwall, our winters can be chilly, but with a few adjustments, your hot tub can become a year-round retreat. Invest in a good-quality hot tub heater and insulated cover to keep the water warm even during colder months.
At OC Spas, we’re dedicated to helping you create the ultimate outdoor oasis. With these hot tub hacks, you can turn your garden into a luxurious retreat where you can unwind and enjoy the summer to the fullest.
