Adding a bespoke garden room alongside your pool is about more than creating a convenient changing area. It is about transforming the way you use and enjoy your outdoor space. A garden swimming pool room offers the perfect blend of practicality and luxury, helping you get more from your garden all year round.
From dedicated changing rooms to saunas, hot tubs and pump rooms, a one-of-a-kind poolside build gives you everything you need to turn your garden into a true leisure retreat.
A Seamless Experience by the Water
One of the biggest frustrations with home swimming pools is the lack of nearby facilities. Dripping wet footprints through the house, makeshift towel hooks or cluttered corners for pool equipment can all take away from the experience. A bespoke garden pool room puts everything within reach and keeps the rest of your home clean, dry and untouched.
By choosing a fully bespoke design from Rooms to Grow, you can incorporate features like warm changing areas, showers, heated towel storage and a toilet, all positioned discreetly at the side of your pool. Not only does this make pool use more enjoyable day to day, but it also provides guests with added comfort and privacy when entertaining.
Design Ideas That Elevate the Poolside
No two gardens are the same, which is why we design every pool room from the ground up. Whether you want a contemporary space that matches a modern home or something more classic to complement a traditional garden, we tailor everything to your vision.
Space for Comfort and Practicality
A pool room does not have to serve just one purpose. With a smart layout, it can act as a changing room, storage space and social hub all in one.
You might include:
A designated area for pool pump and filtration systems, hidden behind integrated storage.
A bench-lined changing area with full-height hooks, mirrors and built-in cabinetry.
A refreshment nook or bar to serve cold drinks, especially useful when hosting outdoors.
Optional Extras to Enhance the Experience
Luxury comes in the details. Optional extras can turn a practical pool room into a spa-like sanctuary. Popular additions include:
A built-in sauna for post-swim relaxation and muscle recovery.
A pergola-covered hot tub or outdoor lounge area connected by decking.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing for panoramic views over the pool and garden.
Extend the Season, Expand the Lifestyle
A pool room is not just for summer. Because every one of our builds comes with high-performance insulation and heating as standard, you can use the space comfortably throughout the year. Add smart lighting and a hard-wired internet connection, and your poolside room becomes a usable living space morning to evening, January to December.
Many families who invest in a swimming pool room soon find themselves using it as much in winter as they do in summer. Whether it is changing out of gym clothes after a morning workout or slipping into the hot tub under a canopy in the rain, an insulated garden room will adapt with each season.
Combine Fitness, Relaxation and Function
A pool already encourages movement and wellbeing. But by adding a nearby garden room, you can extend that focus even further. In particular, many homeowners are choosing to pair their pool room with a bespoke garden gym.
This is ideal for:
Warming up with a workout before taking a swim.
Using the gym during cooler weather when the pool is out of use.
Creating a private fitness area without needing to convert rooms inside the house.
A garden gym room placed beside the pool is a perfect complement. With flush lighting, flooring suitable for weights or mats and full climate control, it becomes a serious alternative to a commercial fitness centre.
Tidy, Organised and Made for Real Life
For all the luxury and design detail, one of the most appreciated benefits of a garden pool room is how tidy it keeps your home and garden. Towels, floats, dressing gowns and shoes no longer end up scattered across the patio or inside the house. Pool chemicals and cleaning equipment are safely stored away but remain easy to access. The result is a space that is easier to maintain day to day, safer for children and pets, and more inviting to use on a whim without the need to prep or tidy before swimming.
Splash Out on a Stylish Pool Room
Whether you are looking to simplify your daily pool routine or create a poolside retreat that feels like a private resort, a bespoke garden pool room offers luxury, convenience and year-round enjoyment. What’s more, a garden pool room may well cost less than you think while still adding a considerable amount of value to your home.
