What’s the best way to choose the style of your pool? Many people already know what style they’re interested in based on their own likes and dislikes. Sometimes circumstances dictate what will work best for your yard and for your family, but the pool style you choose often comes down to your taste and personality.
Pool designs are based on form, function, color and texture. Here are a few tips to make sure your pool has personality.
Are you drawn to contemporary pool design?
Modern pools usually have geometric shapes and clean lines. They usually come in neutral colors; however, if you want to make them extra special, you can add vivid colors or an eye-catching mosaic tile. You can also combine these geometric designs with luxury surfaces and stones, along with interesting lighting for dramatic effect. Infinity edges are some of the most eye-catching options for this pool style.
Luxury day spas often feature modern pools to emphasize their minimalist, Zen feeling. In modern pool design, coping is either nonexistent or is very refined, and poured concrete is popular. This uniform, clean style adds clean-lined elegance to any space and is the perfect way to accentuate a simpler design.
Geometric pools are popular with people who love a modern aesthetic and a minimalist, urban design with clean lines. They’re also popular when space is limited. Rectangular pools are the go-to shape for those who like a well-groomed garden and well-defined spaces.
Or do you crave a lush, tropical pool getaway?
Having a pool can be even more satisfying when it makes you feel like you’ve bene transported to your favorite beach. A tropically styled pool is your very own serene haven, where you can relax and enjoy beautiful scenery.
Other than palm trees, of course, a tropical pool is usually accentuated with dramatic lighting, soft flowing fabrics, fire pit, shade coverings and other beachy elements. You can also add waterfalls, boulders and rich, tropical landscaping plants. Usually, tropical pools are designed with flowing or rounded lines that give the feeling of a natural pool deep in the jungle.
To create a tropical experience in your backyard, choose a freeform pool shape. Consider a sloping entry that reminds you of walking down the sand into water at the beach—rather than climbing down a ladder. The shell of a tropical pool should be lined with pale colors to emphasize the clear water, take your breath away and make you feel like you are on vacation—in your own backyard!
Whatever pool style you choose, make sure to carry your theme through the pool, landscape, deck, furniture and fence to complete the theme. It all begins with a great idea and a pool designer! Start your new pool design now!
