A blue-and-white color palette fills a pool house in Conway with classic style
For interior designer Jill Lawrence, designing a pool house offers a chance to let loose and create a milieu that’s more relaxed and even a bit whimsical. Indeed, that was the environment her clients, a couple with three children, envisioned when they recruited her to select finishes and furnishings for their new backyard hangout.Designed by H+N Architects, the pool house’s glass-paned garage doors drench the atrium-like interior with natural daylight. The open concept allows the clients’ gatherings to spill outside, where the designer incorporated woven furnishings around the pool. “It’s a little more playful than the main house and has a staycation feel,” Jill says of the aesthetic.

In Fayetteville, Daniel Keeley creates a lush, intimate retreat designed with the homeowner’s grandchildren in mind
When this Fayetteville homeowner moved to have more room for her family and young grandchildren, she called on landscape designer Daniel Keeley to bring his talents to her new residence. The goal was to feature dogwood trees, hydrangeas, and plenty of seasonal interest while keeping her grandchildren at the heart of the design. “She grew up in the country in Arkansas, and she definitely appreciates a lush landscape,” Daniel says. “She was really trying to create a beautiful place largely for her grandchildren, where they can go out and play, and there’s a sense of exploration.”To make the most of the backyard, the designer and his client weighed their options between building a pool or adding a water feature. She chose the latter, and Daniel designed a fountain to complement the native stone used in the patio and covered seating area. “Our main goal was trying to make it look like it had always been there,” he says.
