Summer is around the corner, and as the weather grows warmer, we are already planning how we’re going to be spending these sun-soaked months. While everyone has different ideas for how best to have some fun in the sun, there’s one activity that is everyone’s idea of a good time; lounging by the pool.
Swimming pools are the perfect way to stay cool in the summer heat and relax with friends and family, but they’re also a way to add some luxury to your backyard. We’ve all seen luxury swimming pools in movies and magazines that are absolutely out of this world, with unique designs and luxurious features.
We wish we could have them, but they look too complicated to build. Fortunately, having a custom-made swimming pool in your backyard is well within reach.
If you have a specific look in mind, it does take some time and intricate planning, but with the help of pool installation companies in Toronto, building the pool of your dreams can become a reality. In this article, let’s take a closer look at 8 creative pool designs that are out of this world.
1. Sandy beach look
Forget about booking your next all-inclusive vacation on a sandy beach when you can bring one in your own backyard. By having the entrance to your swimming pool designed with the inspiration of a tropical beach, a sand-covered landing can lead the way into the water and it’ll give your pool an ultra beachy look.
It’s important to keep in mind that if you want a sandy beach design, it can only be installed in an in-ground swimming pool. However, with the right kind of pool there are so many possibilities for creating a beach-themed backyard pool.
2. Get an underwater glow
Have you always liked the way a swimming pool glows at night? That’s all due to underwater lighting. Getting underwater lighting in your pool will give it a fluorescent glow that lights up at night.
Along with an attractive shimmer, underwater lighting gives your pool a deeper appearance and makes the water look cleaner. If you want to utilize different lighting shades, you can get multi-coloured lights that are set on a timer.
You’ll absolutely love floating gently across a swirling surface of purple or deep blue water and showing off your luminous pool to visiting guests.
3. Get a narrow pool for a small space
If you’ve ever heard the saying, “less is more,” you know the importance of a minimalist aesthetic. If you’re working with limited space for your pool, a narrow pool design makes a bigger impact — and you’ll still have enough room for lounging and swimming laps.
Plus, having a smaller, thin pool requires less landscaping, and you’ll pay less for pool maintenance. A narrowly designed pool allows you to do a whole lot with just a little.
4. Add waterfalls
Adding waterfalls to your pool gives a luxurious look along with therapeutic benefits. Hearing the sound of rushing water on the surface can be very relaxing.
Having waterfalls with your pool can easily turn into a mini-oasis like Niagara Falls, or you can pretend you’re swimming in a jungle with waterfalls without leaving your backyard.
5. A pool shaped to your hobby
If you have a passion for sports or a love for the arts, you can get a custom-made pool shaped for your hobby. If you love sports, you can get a pool designed like a football, or if you love music, you can get a pool inspired by the shape of a guitar.
Whatever design you have in mind, let us know, and our incredible team of expert designers will work with you to come up with your ultimate dream pool.
6. Install a built-in bar
If you’ve always wanted to enjoy a drink while you’re in the pool, a swim-up bar is a great addition. A bar can be built into the side of the pool and is perfect for hosting and entertaining visitors.
Plus, a built-in bar gives holiday vibes and is sure to be a big hit with your pool guests. However, be sure that your guests do not drink in excess, as getting drunk while wading in a swimming pool can cause accidents.
7. Install a slide
There’s no activity that kids and young-at-heart adults love more than going down an incredible water slide. The rush as you shoot down the slide and splash into the pool waiting below is one of the best things about visiting any water park.
If you’ve always loved water parks with slides then why not bring the fun home with you by incorporating a slide into the design of your swimming pool.
Designers who propose slides with your pool will usually include a custom walkway and specific shape to accommodate your slide. You can also choose from a winding slide with spray jets or an enclosed slide.
8. Get an enclosed pool
If your backyard does not have enough room for your dream pool or you would like the convenience of swimming during the winter, have your pool built in an enclosure that resembles a greenhouse.
The main benefit of an enclosed pool is that you can add a heating element to it, so you can still wear your swimming trunks or bikini even when it’s cold outside.
