Pool house with bedroom : an extra room for your guests
Installing a pool house is one of the best ways to get the most out of your pool. But have you ever thought about adding a bedroom? A pool house with a bedroom can transform your outdoor space into a real haven of peace for you and your guests. Find out how to design a pool house with a bedroom here.
Why convert your pool house into a bedroom ?
In addition to providing extra living space, this type of structure is versatile. You can use it as a place to relax, but it can also serve as a guest room or a home office away from the house. Having an extra room in the garden allows you to keep the main house quiet, especially when you have guests. By offering your guests a dedicated space, you are giving them a private retreat.
Extra space for guests : with an extra bedroom, you can welcome your guests in a separate, comfortable space. They will feel like they are staying in a small luxury hotel with all the amenities they need, while enjoying the proximity of the pool.
Versatility for a variety of activities : a pool house offers great versatility. It can be used as a place to relax, read, take a nap or enjoy a cocktail by the pool. But it can also be converted into an office for working, a playroom for the children or a gym for your daily workouts.
Comfort and privacy : the pool house offers a level of comfort and privacy that you won't find in a simple pergola or terrace. With its bedroom, you can get away from the main house and enjoy some peace and quiet, whether for sunbathing, napping or reading.
Maximising outdoor space : by incorporating a bedroom into your pool house, you maximise the use of your outdoor space. Instead of a simple terrace or pergola, you have an additional living space that can be used for a variety of activities.

Pool house with bedroom : how to design the interior ?
The layout of your pool house with bedroom will depend on your needs and the space available in your garden and around your home. You will need to think about adding a few essential items to ensure the comfort of this new space. Start by incorporating a bed, preferably a double bed that can be folded away for added versatility. You could also install a small storage space such as a wardrobe or wall shelves.
Consider creating a small lounge area for relaxation, with a comfortable armchair, a coffee table and perhaps even a television. If space allows, consider adding a kitchenette. A coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave will be particularly appreciated by your guests for quick snacks or refreshments.
Installing a bedroom in your pool house : what to consider
Transform your pool house into a real suite by adding a few essential amenities.
A shower room for added comfort
Depending on the space you have available, consider adding a bathroom with a shower and toilet. This space will make the pool house self-contained and save your guests from having to move between the main house and the pool.
Lighting and electrical connection
Appropriate lighting is essential in a pool house with a bedroom. Install light fixtures to define the different areas: relaxation area, bathroom and bedroom. Ensure that the electrical installation complies with current standards, particularly in areas close to the pool. Akena offers LED strip lights and wall lights.
Facilities
You can choose from a range of equipment to customise your pool house:
- Sliding privacy screens with adjustable slats;
- Motorised blinds;
- Decorative trellises;
- Sliding glass panels.
This type of pool house is a real extra room for your home
Adding a pool house with a guest room to your garden is an ideal solution if you frequently host guests or lack accommodation space in your home. This type of pool house guarantees peace and quiet for you and your guests. It is an ingenious and effective way to optimise your outdoor space, adding value to your property.
Criteria for choosing the right location for your relaxation area with bedroom
- Proximity to the pool : ideally, your pool house should be located near the pool. Not only does this make the space more convivial, but it also makes it easier to supervise children while they are swimming.
- Sun exposure : choose a location that enjoys good sun exposure to maximise natural heat during the day.
- Privacy : the pool house with bedroom should be far enough away from prying eyes to provide privacy for your guests. It may be a good idea to create a partition by planting several shrubs to ensure privacy.
What size should a pool house with a bedroom be ?
The ideal size for your pool house with bedroom will depend on several factors, including the space available in your garden, the furniture you want to put in it and how you plan to use it. In general, an area of 15 to 30 m² can provide a comfortable bedroom with a small bathroom, a relaxation area and storage space.
