If you plan to build a custom home, this is your opportunity to include features that will make your life much more enjoyable. If you're going to build a swimming pool in your new backyard, you also need to include a pool house. When you add a pool house to your home designs, you give yourself access to space that you can utilize for additional summer fun. Here are just four of the reasons you should add a pool house to your home design. 

Keep the Wetness Out of the House

If you're going to build a pool in your new backyard, you need to include a pool house in your designs. Pool houses allow you to keep your summer fun away from the main house, which is beneficial where watery messes are concerned. Without a pool house, your friends and family will need to traipse through the main house to use the bathroom, which can be a real problem during pool parties. However, when you include a bathroom in your new pool house, all the mess can stay out of the main house. Not only that, but if you include a kitchen in your pool house, you'll be able to prepare summer meals there as well. 

Provide a Space for Summer Guests

If you're going to have summer guests in your new home, you'll want to add a pool house in your custom designs. In addition to providing space for your summer swimming activities, your pool house can also double as a guest house. When your pool house doubles as a guest house, you won't need to rearrange your home when out-of-town guests arrive for the summer. 

Give Your Home Office a Summer Change

If you own a home-based business, you might want a change from time to time, especially during the summer. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find extra space inside your home. One of the benefits of including a pool house in your custom designs is that you can use the space for your home office during the summer. 

Enjoy Your Own Staycation Getaway

If your busy schedule prevents you from getting away as often as you'd like, you need to include a pool house in your custom designs. Staycations are a great way to enjoy some leisure time without leaving town. When you have a pool house, you can use the space for your own private staycation hideaway.
