It's time to think about building and renovation projects that you want to complete before summer. We know that swimming is not on your mind right now, but we wanted to inspire you by showing some of our favorite pool features.
Although it may seem a little too luxurious to sit in a pool chair and sip a mojito, this is the perfect way to spend lazy summer afternoons. These seats are not available at your local pool store, but they add a luxurious feel to any pool.
Water features are so versatile and available in many different forms that it would be easy to write an entire blog about them. Options for water features include:
You can choose from a wide range of water features. It's important to consider the aesthetics and feel of the water feature, as well the practicality. It should match your style and the outdoor area of your house, but you also want a feature you love in terms of sound and functionality.
The endless pool is not to be confused with an infinity pool. It has a constant flow of water that can easily be adjusted. The pool will be more active if you swim against the current, exercise with it, or float in it. It also has a great filtering system. Installing a machine that creates a current is also an option. It's less complicated than installing a full-on endless pool.
It may be worth installing a shade or pergola above a pool or pool area if you expect to spend countless hours there. This will provide you with protection from the rain or sun. These can be designed to fit different purposes and styles, but they offer better protection than a tree or sun umbrella. There are many different options for style, feel, and use. It can be an open pergola to relax by the pool or a mostly closed one to create a room at the poolside.
Wide stairs that lead into the pool can be overlooked but are an important feature to help make pool use more flexible. The stairs that run along the entire edge of the pool or a large area allow for flexible pool seating that allows many people to sit at different levels. You can sit close to the edge and have your drink to the side, without getting in the way.
Spa jets can be installed in the main pool or in an area that is specifically designed for relaxing. The spa jets provide a wonderful massage, and they make swimming in the pool more relaxing. It is best to include a few and place them in an area where you can relax comfortably. A warm spa, jacuzzi, or hot tub will allow you to relax all year long. Heated pools are also an excellent investment for those who want to bathe in the cooler months.
Pool lighting can be a great investment to highlight your pool at night, improve visibility during evening swims, and create a stunning visual effect. Pool lighting can be used to light up your outdoor space in the evening. You can choose to highlight certain features, use different colours or keep it simple. You shouldn't overlook this feature.

These pools, also known as vanishing or infinite edge pools, have a side that is a bit lower than the level of water so water can flow into a catchbasin below. They are especially beautiful when there is a view from behind the infinity-edge, as it is visually stunning. It also works well if the block is divided level. They are usually more expensive because they are custom-built, but the result is a luxurious pool for swimming or taking photos.
A lagoon pool, although it's a totally different option from an infinity pool, is also a customizable option. It may work better in a garden and is therefore a luxurious alternative. These freeform pools are akin to nature. They are usually surrounded with natural-looking stone edges, shrubs, and plants, and are often blue, green, or stone-coloured. Lagoon pools are a great choice for those who prefer a natural look.
It's sometimes taken for granted that you should consider the surface around your swimming pool. There are many options available for the pool area. These include anti-slip stone and tiles which naturally keep your feet cool on hot days. All these options offer a unique experience and feel for relaxing beside the pool, so it is best to try out a few before making a decision. Decking is cool, drains well, and feels great on your feet. It also gives off a tropical vibe. Tiles and stone are both classics and can get warm, so they're great if you want to feel the warmth of your feet as you leave the pool. Stone is more rustic and classic while tiles look modern and stylish. If you do not have any poolside furniture, grass is a great option for laying around in the grass. It also feels nice on your feet.
Salt water pools are an extra luxury for personal pools. It is still chlorineed, but it's a different type using a salt chlorinator. It is worth it to invest in salt water pools, despite the cost. They are gentler for everything - skin, eyes, clothes, toys, and hair. It is softer and feels different to the skin. Metal elements may rust and other pool equipment will not be compatible.
