Picture yourself surrounded by the tranquil beauty of your own private outdoor oasis. For those looking to create something truly unique in their homes, a custom pool design holds the key to turning this dream into a reality.
The art of pool design goes beyond functionality, focusing on the creative and aesthetic aspects that transform a simple pool into an extraordinary outdoor sanctuary for you and your family to enjoy in privacy.
Understanding Different Pool Design Styles
When you embark on creating your perfect outdoor environment, you will discover the many different pool design styles available. Traditional pool designs exude classic elegance, while contemporary designs embrace sleek lines and minimalist aesthetics. Natural pool designs seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape, while infinity pool designs create a captivating illusion of water extending to the horizon.
Deciding on the look and feel of your outdoor area will help guide you in your choices, although there are no firm and fast rules. Our accomplished designer and landscaper will help guide you so you can create the perfect experience for your needs.
Exploring Pool Materials & Finishes
The choice of materials and finishes plays a crucial role in pool design. For those seeking the epitome of luxury, options like marble, granite, and glass tiles add a touch of opulence. Mosaic patterns, underwater lighting, and water features offer exquisite finishes that enhance the overall ambiance of the pool. Additionally, eco-friendly and low-maintenance materials provide durability and sustainability.
We work with a wide variety of materials, all of premium quality and durability, so your pool or spa can complement the existing landscaping and materials of your home’s exterior.
Enhancing Pool Design With Landscaping
Landscaping is essential to create a truly immersive outdoor experience, whether you are installing a pool, spa or both. Harmonizing the pool design with the existing landscape helps to blend the pool seamlessly into its surroundings. Adding plants, trees, and flowers around the pool creates a lush and inviting atmosphere that your family will find relaxing and inspiring.
You may also wish to consider decking, patios, and living spaces such as an outdoor bar or kitchen to maximize your ability to spend those long summer evenings in your garden.
Customization Options for a Unique Touch
One of the most exciting aspects of a custom pool design is how highly bespoke it can be. Whether that means incorporating a spa, hot tub, or plunge pool or creating a custom shape and size to fit the available space, the options for customization are endless. Innovative technologies, such as automation systems and smart pool features, can further enhance the uniqueness of your design.
Custom Pool Shapes for Ultimate Sophistication
If you wish to explore a custom pool shape, the possibilities are highly diverse. We will work with the space you have in mind for your pool or spa, letting you move beyond traditional rectangular or oval designs to explore more distinctive and personalized options.
- Curvilinear Shapes: Curvilinear pool designs offer a softer and more organic aesthetic compared to traditional rectilinear shapes. These designs have a timeless appeal and can create a sense of fluidity and elegance in the outdoor space. Fluid lines curve around features or create features of their own for a stunning finish.
- Geometric and Functional Considerations: More unusual geometric pool shapes, including true geometric shapes such as circles, squares and triangles, offer a modern and contemporary appeal. While true geometric shapes are valued for their simplicity and practicality, custom geometric designs cater to those seeking distinctive and non-traditional configurations. These shapes often serve as the foundation for a modern and stylish pool design, allowing homeowners to express their architectural preferences and create a visually striking outdoor space.
- Traditional Pool Shapes: For those with a smaller space or those seeking to embrace a more traditional design, rectangular pools are still a popular choice. Pair this with stunning features and underwater lighting to bring a modern twist, or keep it simple and elegant when twinned with plants and decking. Families with children may opt for a rectangular pool to maximize their swim area.
