2024 Trends in New Pool Design
Pool designs aren't nearly as static as many might assume. New subtle trends and innovations are shaping pools' aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability going into 2024.
Here is what to look out for in the coming year:
Natural filters
Aquatic plants can filter the water in a way that promotes the ecosystem and is completely eco-friendly. Bio-filters and microorganisms work similarly to clean the water without chlorine.
Gravel and sand can combine beautifully with other filter methods to make the pool less dependent on chemicals. There is also saltwater chlorination, which produces chlorine naturally.
For the pool surroundings, use permeable paving. It lets water seep through for less runoff and better filtration.
Pool finishes
Different finishes can change the water color to make the pool look more distinct. Some popular colors are green and purple. These finishes can also mimic natural textures like marble or other stones.
Tanning ledges and Baja shelves
Tanning ledges can cleverly be incorporated into the pool design. They're a perfect spot to relax and sunbathe in the shallow waters. The ledges are family-friendly and fun for kids and adults alike. They make for an enticing escape from the heat and the perfect complement following a dip in the water.
Advanced lighting features
LED lighting is a fantastic choice for energy-efficient and fun dynamic color-changing effects. These lights can even fit into pool steps, walls, and water features, creating a distinct ambiance that can be different each time.
Non-standard depths and shapes
A standard boxy pool looks outdated. Freeform shapes and depths make room for a personal touch, and pools fit better with different yard shapes or water sports, exercise, and relaxation by the pool.
Fire features
Fire can be intimidating but also thrilling. Fire pits and bowls create a dramatic contrast between elements and naturally draw the eye. They're also fantastic gathering spots.
Cold plunge pools
Cold plunge pools are small, deep, therapeutic pools that help reduce muscle inflammation and improve circulation. They're becoming more popular in residential pool setups and pair nicely with hot tubs and home saunas for full contrast therapy.
Outdoor living
Pools can be so much more than just places for a quick dip. Built-in bars and entertainment systems can make them into all-in-one party spots. It doesn't even have to stop with entertainment, either. Outdoor kitchens, lounges, and showers make the pool area more lively and functional.
