Luxury pools are an integral component of many estates and vacation homes, providing guests with an ideal space for exercising, socializing and unwinding.
Swimming pools increase property values significantly in areas with hot climates. But for maximum value and appeal, pool designs must go beyond mere functionality to also create an aesthetic presence and feel luxurious.
Infinity Pools
An infinity pool’s main advantage lies in its ability to frame stunning scenery, making it an attractive feature of luxury homes with picturesque surroundings. Furthermore, infinity pools are easier to maintain than traditional pools and provide a tranquil environment in which to unwind.
Glass walls add an extra luxurious element to an infinity pool, turning it into an eye-catching swimming oasis. This style of pool can help make any property stand out and increase resale value significantly.
Landscaping is key to creating a luxurious pool, and adding seating or dining areas around the water can help maximize use of your new space. Lounges or fire pits can further elevate the experience by providing comfortable areas where users can both spend time in and out of the water.
Transparent Pool Walls
Experience a tropical getaway right in your own backyard with modern pool designs offering various means of creating the feeling and look of vacation destinations right in your own backyard.
Transparent pool walls have become one of the newest trends, creating an eye-catching spectacle and stunning view for homeowners overlooking scenic ocean, mountain range or city skyline views.
Transparent pool walls can be constructed from various materials, but acrylic remains the go-to choice due to its lightness and better impact resistance than glass – making installation and handling much simpler. Plus, acrylic provides exceptional corrosion, weatherability, temperature tolerance as well as being available in an array of colors!
LED Lighting
LED lighting can add visual interest and depth to pool and water feature elements. While halogen lights require more energy and generate heat that could burn your skin, LEDs offer more efficient illumination with wide color range options that accentuate features and produce visual effects.
LED pool lights are easier than ever to control with user-friendly apps and remote controllers, making it simple to create eye-catching light shows for guests or creating relaxing sunset-esque ambiance. Furthermore, they’re more durable than their incandescent counterparts and last longer – great news if you want your pool lights running for years!
Upgrades to LED lights for existing in-ground pools can be straightforward as they fit seamlessly into existing fixtures, just like halogen bulbs do. New pool builders may wish to incorporate this cutting edge technology and efficiency in their construction plans as well.
Themed Pools
Homeowners looking to recreate the feel of an at-home resort will find themed pools an exciting option for creating their ideal backyard experience. With customized water features and other decorative elements creating an eye-catching aesthetic, themed pools provide homeowners with an immersive swimming experience in their backyards.
An elegant waterfall, grotto, or swim-up bar makes an excellent addition to any luxury home pool, giving guests a new way to experience and host parties around it.
Adding a theme can make any kids’ pool party even more entertaining. Host a pirate-themed pool party complete with noodle rafts and foam swords; or dress everyone up in neon colors for an 80’s feel – perhaps even setting up a poolside backgammon board as an added attraction!
Unexpected Pool Shapes
Clean lines and simple design trends have quickly become prevalent in homes. Now they are being applied to swimming pool shapes as well. Figure-8 pools offer diving and play areas of T-shaped pools while providing more modern aesthetics and reduced construction costs.
Add a pool to your luxury home to transform its outdoor living area into a serene haven where you can soak up some sun while sipping wine and unwind with friends and family. Plus, studies show that being near water helps ease stress.
Geometric pools can add contemporary style and fit in beautifully with rugged desert settings, creating the illusion of an idyllic lagoon.
