Kick Start YOUR POOL PLANNING PROCESS • Whether you’re crafting your dream family home, or setting up an investment for your future, building a house is an exciting milestone in your life and adding a pool not only increases the value of your home, but it’s a luxury that can elevate your abode to dream home status and provide a lifetime of unlimited entertainment. But before you embark on such a significant investment, conducting proper research and understanding the work involved is essential. Here, Louise Hurll, founder of The Stylish Life Project's Pool Planning Course, takes us through the process of planning a pool, and how, with proper planning and knowledge, you can ensure the best outcome possible.
