Whether you are replacing an old pool or adding a brand new pool to your home, the process begins with the design. Before you decide between cement and fiberglass, size and the multitude of other options, you first need to decide on the basic design or theme. When it comes to pools, there are two basic options: contemporary or natural. Once you choose between these two options, then you can start working on all the other details.
Contemporary Design
For those that like dramatic lines or maybe a simplistic approach, contemporary will likely be the style you will want for your pool. Contemporary pools and spas are not ‘lagoon-like’ or pretend to be a natural body of water; they may be a simple rectangle. They are cleanly designed with straight edges and artful additions. Infinity pools or zero-edge options are popular for contemporary designs. If your home is modern in design, a contemporary pool area makes perfect sense.
Natural Pools and Spas
If you want to create an oasis in your backyard that is reminiscent of a tropical island, a natural look is more your style. Curved lines for your pool and spa surrounded with natural stone and rocks with plenty of vegetation will be needed to transform your outdoor pool space. Adding features like waterfalls flowing over natural boulders can add the final touch.
Once you decide what direction you are going in for your pool design, your pool contractor can give you a plethora of options to make your vision come true. Regardless of the overall theme, in the end you will have a beautiful new pool to enjoy for many years to come.
