Longing for a swimming pool but concerned about limited space? Don’t worry! Small pools can be just as beautiful and fun as the big ones, fitting perfectly into even the coziest backyards.
1. Eco-Conscious Pool Wraps
Choose eco-conscious pool wraps to keep temperature and lower evaporation. I’m keen on suggesting this for sustainability-focused clients.
2. Poolside Fire Zone
Put in a poolside fire zone for warmth and vibe in colder months. I often suggest this for making a comfortable gathering spot that’s usable year-round.
3. In-Built Benches
Build in-built benches inside your pool design for a smooth mix of elegance and practicality. I’m charmed by the way it creates a comfortable area to unwind without needing extra furniture that clutters the area.
4. Upright Plant Life Walls
Increase privacy and beauty using upright plant life walls near your pool. I’m keen on using upright gardens to change walls into lush, living artistry.
5. Sunbathing Step
Add a sunbathing step for lounging in the sun without getting fully submerged. It’s my favorite element for those lazy summer afternoons.
6. Minimalist Decking
Use minimalist decking to keep the focus on your pool and landscaping. Simple, clean lines always make the space feel modern and uncluttered.
7. Submerged LED Lamps
Put in submerged LED lamps for a captivating evening mood. It’s my go-to for making a magical nighttime vibe in small pool scenes.
8. Dual-Purpose Stairs
Incorporate dual-purpose stairs that act as seating or bench areas. This is a smart way to maximize use in compact pools.
9. Horizon Edge Impression
Make an impression of a horizon edge in a small pool using a spillover structure. This clever idea makes any small space appear larger, similar to the one I planned facing a small city garden.
10. Multi-Purpose Space
Plan a multi-purpose space near your pool for dining, lounging, and play. I once made a backyard that effortlessly went from pool to patio dining.
11. Original Stone Trim
Putting original stone around your pool gives off a fancy, natural feeling. I once used original stone to effortlessly merge a pool with a rocky scene, and it was magnificent.
12. Poolside Arbor
Add a poolside arbor for shade and style, making a cozy nook. I’m charmed by how an arbor can highlight a space and give relief from the sun.
13. Mirror-Like Pool Tiles
Use mirror-like tiles in your pool to make a shimmering result, especially in smaller zones. I used them in a client’s pool, and it turned every swim into a dazzling scene.
14. Staged Surround
Plan a staged surround to add size and interest to your pool area. I once layered decking and garden beds to make a lively open-air living area.
15. Colorful Slab Accents
Use colorful slab accents to add personality and flair to your pool design. I once used vibrant tiles to make a main point that wowed everyone who visited.
16. Creative Pool Layouts
Consider creative layouts such as kidney or L-shaped pools for unique beauty. I once designed a kidney-shaped pool that fit perfectly into an awkwardly shaped yard.
17. Streamlined Rectangular Pools
A streamlined rectangular pool works wonders in tight areas, providing a chic, contemporary vibe that maximizes your outdoor space. I recall turning a tiny yard into a stunning escape using this layout.
18. Glass Pool Guarding
Choose glass guarding to keep an open, airy feeling while providing safety. I’m keen on how glass guarding doesn’t block the view, keeping the space feeling expansive.
