Designed by Emily Martin of @emilymartindesign, the project showcases a layered approach to outdoor living\u2014featuring distinct zones for relaxation and entertaining. As part of the larger project, the poolside lounging area became a focal point\u2014brought to life with Millboard\u2019s Enhanced Grain Limed Oak decking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This space showcases how Millboard products can enhance and complement a broader design scheme, offering high quality, high-performance materials that blend effortlessly with natural elements while delivering a sleek, sophisticated finish. Every detail, from texture to tone, was curated with care to create a serene and cohesive outdoor retreat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhanced Grain &#8211; Limed Oak&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-nbsp-why-millboard-decking-elegance-meets-durability-nbsp\">&nbsp;<br>Why Millboard Decking? Elegance Meets Durability&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The poolside deck is finished in Millboard\u2019s Enhanced Grain Limed Oak, a choice that strikes the perfect balance between high-end design and everyday practicality. Each board is hand-molded from real oak, capturing the intricate texture and grain of natural timber with remarkable authenticity. The result is a crisp, refined finish that pairs effortlessly with natural stone, vibrant greenery, and sophisticated outdoor furnishings\u2014adding depth and cohesion to the overall design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the start, aesthetics were a priority\u2014but they weren\u2019t the only factor. The design required a material that could endure the challenges of a coastal, high-moisture environment. Millboard decking was a natural fit thanks to its combination of beauty and resilience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section aria-label=\"Corona del Mar\" data-lightbox style=\"--gallery--items-count: 0;\" class=\"gallery wp-block alignfull\">\n    <div class=\"gallery__list__wrapper\">\n            <\/div>\n\n            <dialog class=\"gallery__lightbox has-background has-mist-background-color\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-label=\"Corona del Mar\" hidden=\"hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <main class=\"gallery__lightbox__main\" role=\"document\">\n                <figure class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image\">\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__inner img-fit\" data-image-orientation=\"\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__image\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption is-style-typestyle-small is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__main\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__secondary\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/figure>\n\n                <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__content\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__close\"><span class=\"Close\">Close<\/span>\n<span class=\"gallery__lightbox__close__icon\"><\/span><\/button>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__current\">1<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__separator\">\/<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__total\">0<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__label\">images<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__announcement visually-hidden\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails\" aria-label=\"Thumbnails\">\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--previous g-button\">Previous<\/button>\n                        \n                        <ul class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails__list\">\n                                                    <\/ul>\n\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--next g-button\">Next<\/button>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/main>\n        <\/dialog>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhanced Grain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-key-performance-benefits-of-millboard-decking-include-nbsp\">Key performance benefits of Millboard decking include:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Corona del Mar poolside Millboard decking project:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exceptional slip resistance \u2013 Its wood-free, resin-mineral composition provides a safer surface underfoot, even when wet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fade resistance \u2013 Designed to withstand prolonged sun exposure, Millboard maintains its color with minimal fading, even in California\u2019s intense UV conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warp and moisture resistance \u2013 Millboard is highly resistant to swelling, warping, and mold\u2014making it ideal for poolside use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hidden fixings for a seamless finish \u2013 Millboard\u2019s unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-us\/en-gb\/2026\/01\/20\/what-is-millboard-decking-made-from\/\">Durafix\u00ae<\/a> fixings remain concealed beneath the surface, creating a smooth, uninterrupted aesthetic that enhances the overall sophistication of the space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-harmonizing-with-the-design-palette-nbsp\">Harmonizing with the Design Palette&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the defining strengths of this outdoor retreat is the effortless way each material harmonizes with the next. The Enhanced Grain Limed Oak finish serves as a versatile base tone that allows the surrounding textures and hues to shine. Soft beige planter walls, golden-toned fencing, and layered green landscaping create a serene, coastal palette\u2014all beautifully grounded by the light, warm hue of the Millboard decking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than competing for attention, the decking complements the environment. It frames the pool loungers and side tables with subtle elegance, enhancing the space without overwhelming it. This ability to integrate seamlessly with various materials\u2014from stone and wood to fabric and foliage\u2014is a key benefit of Millboard decking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<section aria-label=\"Corona del Mar\" data-lightbox style=\"--gallery--items-count: 0;\" class=\"gallery wp-block alignfull\">\n    <div class=\"gallery__list__wrapper\">\n            <\/div>\n\n            <dialog class=\"gallery__lightbox has-background has-mist-background-color\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" aria-label=\"Corona del Mar\" hidden=\"hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <main class=\"gallery__lightbox__main\" role=\"document\">\n                <figure class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image\">\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__inner img-fit\" data-image-orientation=\"\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__image\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption is-style-typestyle-small is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__main\"><\/div>\n                        <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__main-image__caption__secondary\"><\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/figure>\n\n                <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__content\">\n                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__close\"><span class=\"Close\">Close<\/span>\n<span class=\"gallery__lightbox__close__icon\"><\/span><\/button>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter is-style-typestyle-meta\">\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__current\">1<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__separator\">\/<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__total\">0<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"gallery__lightbox__counter__label\">images<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__announcement visually-hidden\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails\" aria-label=\"Thumbnails\">\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--previous g-button\">Previous<\/button>\n                        \n                        <ul class=\"gallery__lightbox__thumbnails__list\">\n                                                    <\/ul>\n\n                                                    <button type=\"button\" class=\"gallery__lightbox__control gallery__lightbox__control--next g-button\">Next<\/button>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/main>\n        <\/dialog>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-designed-for-wet-zones-nbsp\">Designed for Wet Zones&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pool areas require materials that deliver more than visual appeal\u2014they need to be practical, safe, and built to last. Millboard excels in wet environments, ticking all the boxes for a high-performance pool deck:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slip Resistance: Millboard\u2019s textured surface, made from a resin-mineral composite, significantly reduces the risk of slipping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rot and Mold Resistance: Unlike traditional timber, Millboard decking is made from a resin mineral composite material and contains no wood, making it highly resistant to swelling, decay, and mold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimensional Stability: Even under the fluctuating temperatures and humidity typical of coastal climates, Millboard is highly resistant to warping and swelling, retaining its structural integrity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UV and Fade Protection: With strong resistance to ultraviolet rays, Millboard decking holds its color beautifully, providing lasting visual impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-low-maintenance-high-reward-nbsp\">Low Maintenance, High Reward&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For homeowners and professionals alike, one of the standout features of Millboard decking is its ease of maintenance. While traditional wood decking often demands regular upkeep\u2014sanding, sealing, and staining\u2014Millboard decking stays beautiful with very little effort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple sweep and occasional wash with a mild detergent are all that\u2019s required to maintain its appearance year after year. This ease of care was a major advantage for the homeowner, who sought a space that would remain pristine without constant attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This durability and simplicity make Millboard decking ideal for modern lifestyles where enjoying the outdoors shouldn\u2019t mean hours of upkeep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-typestyle-uppercase\" id=\"h-creating-a-lifestyle-space-not-just-a-deck-nbsp\">Creating a Lifestyle Space, Not Just a Deck&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final poolside scene is one of quiet luxury. The Millboard decking plays a quiet but essential role in this visual story. It\u2019s the foundation upon which the entire experience is built.
