that thinks for itself. And pays for itself.
For example, an organic-shaped, Mediterranean-style pool might appear out of place in an ultra-chic penthouse, but can sit naturally in a modern house on a farm estate. Trees and structures can also help frame picture-perfect scenes around the pool area.
Landscape and Materials
Landscape plays an important role in the design of the pool, as the local vegetation and materials available can help inform the overall mood of the space. In addition to saving money, building locally can also help you consider solutions for potential problems. For example, an elevated pool might be a more practical solution for a backyard where an in-ground pool might require a lot of maintenance.
Features & Lighting
Adding walls, fountains, jacuzzis, pool bars, and other functional features will help create a relaxing ambiance in your backyard pool area. A feature wall, for example, can contain a sculpture and have seating built around it, while a fire pit can also be incorporated to completely set the mood. Meanwhile, a grill area or a pool bar are great additions for those who love to entertain and throw parties or host family gatherings, especially on weekends. To elevate the whole experience, adding uplighting for the trees, pool lighting, and concealed step lights can work wonders on the evening landscape and illuminate paths for guests on balmy evenings.
Furniture, Artwork, and Details
The pool might be the last place you’d look for artwork, but we beg to differ. Making the pool area a statement piece, whether as the masterpiece or to showcase artwork, is a good idea. Tile suppliers offer opportunities to use the pool as a canvas by creating mosaic artworks.
Meanwhile, furniture and other details should always be considered from the very beginning. This allows time for sourcing and acquisition of pieces. One should always look for comfort and weatherproof qualities, especially for outdoor cushions, umbrellas, and rugs. Identifying details early on in the process can help conceal pumps or other unsightly equipment that would otherwise ruin a welldesigned pool.
With increasing temperatures, economic pressure, and household responsibilities that make you work up a sweat, taking a dip in a well-designed and stunning pool can definitely help. Whether it is clean and simple or exotic, well-designed pools don’t simply rely on the aesthetic appeal but on their functionality, as well. A good pool design is flexible and can accommodate multiple functions, from barbeques and parties, to hosting holidays and quiet evenings by the pool.
Despite the challenges that any project could present, understanding the basics and setting a working framework is already a swim in the right direction. After all, nothing can be more stunning than a well-designed space that your clients will love to share with their friends and family.
