Pool area designs can come in many different shapes and styles. Depending on your budget, size and backyard setting, you have a few different styles to choose from. Let’s look at 10 of some of the most popular designs for your backyard swimming pool space:
10 Different Ways to Design your Pool area
1. Organic Setting
This pool looks like a natural lake which you may stumble upon in the forest. With stone slabs lining the pool, this design gives a natural feel to your backyard. The grassy landscape gives a nice visual flow, assisted by the minimal pavement and integrated fire pit.
2. Integrated Fire Pits
Fire pits give an extra element to any pool area by adding an extra social place to sit back and relax. This allows the pool to be used not just for swimming, but for an aesthetic effect and scenery. This space is great for night time social drinks with friends and family, or even for a cool place to relax during the day.
3 With a View
Take advantage of the natural view your backyard living space brings by adding an infinity pool. This helps divert your eyes up and out, to take in the view and enjoy its natural beauty.
4. More Structures
Give your pool a more royal feel by adding a diving board, fountain, and yes, even a small bridge to give that castle moat feel. Adding a few simple structures like this can really make your pool come alive.
5. Grass All Round
Go for a more natural feel by leaving all the grass around your pool. The added benefit of this is less slippery-ness for the kids and less worry of water flooding the pavement around the pool. Take care when mowing or you could end up with grass cuttings all over the surface of your beautiful pool.
6. Shipping Container Pool
If you have a small space and a bit of tight budget, check out these swimming container pools! You may not even recognize the ‘shipping container’ element and they are great for a quick and easy installation. Design around them, paint them any colour you want, and even add a see-through element and your friends will be surprised when you tell them it’s a recycled shipping container.
7. Light Effects
Make any area a bit more fun and energized by adding a few lights. These can be carefully positioned to show off a pretty tree or sculpture. Also, by adding lights which change colour according to your preferences, you can create any mood with a wide range of party styles and settings.
8. Can Never Have Too Much Water
Having a pool with a water-front view is the perfect way to really take in a beautiful view such as this. It helps you to immerse yourself in the landscape and make you really feel apart of it. Get in touch with nature and match her design skills by adding your own mini lake.
9. Outdoor Oasis
Put a bit of space between your home and the pool to create an oasis type feel to your backyard. Why take a holiday when you can have your own private getaway in your own pool. This gives your pool area dimension and breathing space to really help you to relax and take a breath.
10. Lush and Green
And last, but certainly not least, is a lush tropical backyard design. This design gives you all the benefits: privacy, resort design, natural feel, and space to take in the beauty of nature. This backyard really can take you away to another world, and help you get some fresh air and lose yourself in nature.
