The great outdoors can be an attractive retreat for many, especially during the warm summer months. Unfortunately, the great outdoors must be shared with other people. But what if you could have a place to sit, relax, eat, and take a swim in the comfort of your own home?
With a little backyard designing, this could become a reality. Your backyard space can become your oasis, designed to suit your specific needs and wants. Swimming pools can be a fantastic place to enjoy time with family and friends.
The styles of swimming pool available are almost endless, and it can be tough to wade through all of your options to choose the one that is best for your backyard. If you’ve got backyard renovations on your mind, we’ve summarised eight unique and elegant custom swimming designs to spark your imagination. So don’t let another year go by without building the backyard of your dreams.
1. A natural swimming pool
A custom swimming pool design doesn’t necessarily have to modernize your entire backyard, especially if that isn’t your taste. Preserving some of your backyard’s natural aspects when you design your pool can be a great way to create an organic setting.
Your natural swimming pool could include minimal pavement around it, which could be replaced with large in-ground stones instead, paired with a fire pit. Allow most of the grassy landscape to be visible to maintain the natural appearance of your backyard.
2. A private swimming pool
For many, enjoying a nice peaceful dip in the pool with family and friends is a private affair. That can easily be accomplished with simple design techniques. You can easily make your pool more secluded by strategically including flowers and foliage. Line the edges of your backyard with hedges and other large flowering plants on an elevated platform to add depth and dimension to your backyard and maintain your privacy.
3. A swimming pool with a view
Infinity pools or spas are designed to give the illusion that they are merging with the blue of the vast sky or an ocean. They can be calming places to take a relaxing swim. You can combine the concept of an infinity pool or spa with a beautiful backyard view to create an extraordinary pool design.
4. A waterfall swimming pool
Sometimes the most beautiful and mysterious trails can lead you to an oasis with a powerful waterfall. Waterfalls, whether big or small, are beautiful and add an elegant touch. Take advantage of this unique pool design by including a few small waterfalls situated along the walls of your pool or have a single large waterfall at one end. Pair these waterfalls with a stone wall finishing to give your pool that beautiful exotic appearance.
5. Light up your swimming pool
Lights in and around the swimming pool can be an amazing way to help create a beautiful experience as the sun begins to set. Gold and white lights can complement the patio design and create a warm illumination around the pool. Various alternative colours can also create a fun glow and add some personality to the pool.
6. Get a swimming pool with all the extras
Pools can offer endless hours of fun and memories for children, families, and friends. They don’t have to be limited to the pools themselves; you can get yours with ‘all of the trimmings.’ These additional features could include a diving board for the deep end, a bridge over the water to create a magical castle appearance, slides, a fire pit or tanning ledges for those who want to stretch out and relax.
7. Create a swim-up bar or relaxation area
Everyone enjoys taking a dip in the water, and who doesn’t want a nice drink while doing so. This can become a reality with the addition of a swim-up bar or custom patio alongside the pool. Swim-up bars are usually built with underwater seating along the pool’s edge, which people both inside and outside of the pool can use. A patio area alongside the pool with seating and a fire pit is also a great alternative if you want to keep the pool for swimming.
8. Make your pool the ‘one with a spa’
Spas are ideal places to relax, unwind, and shed yourself of the stresses of the day. A spa is an excellent addition to your backyard pool and can be built as an extension to the pool, offering a place to relax your muscles in hot water. Spas can be great places to entertain a few friends and guests, and building a spa as an extension to the pool can be a great way to switch between the two.
Your backyard is your oasis, and the way you choose to design it should be a reflection of your personality and lifestyle. Consider yourself and your family when planning your customized pool so you can get the most out of it. You can design your backyard pools in many different ways. Features such as natural landscapes, lights, waterfalls, and hot tubs help spice up a simple swimming pool.
