LYKKE Designer Inflatable Pool, Kiddie Adult Blowup Pool, High quality recycled materials, female founded, Canadian company

Spring has sprung, and we’re officially entering backyard party season — aka, the era of sunshine, snacks, and seriously cute setups. If you’re craving a little main character energy without a ton of effort, say hello to the ultimate poolside moment: a LYKKE inflatable pool + a custom balloon garland = pure backyard magic.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a laid-back girls’ day, or just romanticizing the first warm weekend, this look is the mood.

The Setup

We teamed up with amazing ladies at The Balloon Bar Ottawa to bring this backyard vision to life. The balloon garland features dreamy sunset tones — pink, coral, peach, and golden beige — styled with fresh palm leaves and tropical greenery for a vibe that’s playful but still grown-up.

Add in a LYKKE inflatable pool (hello, black and white scalloped design!) and you’ve got an aesthetic centerpiece that’s perfect for lounging, dipping, or just looking cute for the camera.


What You’ll Need

• A stylish inflatable pool (ours is from @lykkepools)

• A custom balloon garland in your fave color palette

• A mix of throws, cushions, and outdoor rugs for cozy texture

• Accessories from Home Sense and Marshalls — we scored all our décor at seriously decent prices

• Fresh plants to add dimension and bring the tropical vibes

• Snacks + drinks (we went with cherries and iced spritzes)

• A good playlist and even better friends


Why We Love It

• Easy setup, big impact: The pool inflates in minutes, and the balloon garland can be prepped ahead.

• Insta-ready: This combo is as photogenic as it gets.

• Affordable luxury: You don’t need to rent a venue to feel like you’re on vacation.

• Budget-friendly: All our outdoor accessories came from Home Sense and Marshalls — total score.

Final Touches

Don’t forget to add a floaty (we used a bright pink ring for a pop of color) and a “hello” mat or cute sign to welcome your guests. Pro tip: this setup also makes a perfect backdrop for content creators or small brand events.
