The next best thing to a Mediterranean vacation is a Mediterranean-style home, and what better place to implement a holiday-inspired aesthetic than a backyard pool? We're taking cues from Lamorne Morris, who just took home an Emmy for his role in Fargo . The actor shared a clip of his Mediterranean-style pool on his Instagram page, and we were immediately drawn to its vacation-worthy ambiance. The cement perimeter is surrounded by lush greenery, luxe patio furniture, and stone steps, proving that materials are key to making a pool feel like a relaxing escape.
According to experts, the inside of a pool is just as important as its surrounding accessories, so extra attention should be paid to tiling when considering pool ideas . A post shared by Lamorne Morris (@lamorne) A photo posted by on 'To create a pool that transports people to the heart of the Mediterranean, it’s essential to choose a design as well as materials that evoke the serenity and rustic beauty of the region,' interior designer Luisina Marchiori says. 'I recommend using large porcelain tiles with a stone effect to edge and surround the pool, and turquoise blue tiles for its interior.
This will create an eye-catching contrast and mimic the Mediterranean Sea lapping against the sandy beaches and rocky coves. Complemented with light-colored ceramics with sandy hues around the pool, natural daylight will reflect into the water, making it appear clear and calm.'
