There is a common misconception that you have seen them all once you have seen one swimming pool. This is incorrect as pools vary. Everything has some difference, from their size to their design and even the type of water in the pool. The pool’s overall outlook depends on the owner’s wishes and what is feasible for them to have installed.
If things can be so very different, how do you get to know what is happening in the world of pools? Like fashion and home design, pool outlooks are often governed by trends that change with time. Here are the latest trends taking over the world of pools:
Plunge Pools
More and more people are finding that they desire to have a swimming pool in their yard, yet they do not necessarily have the largest spaces in which to work. This leads them in the direction of plunge pools. Plunge pools are able to take advantage of smaller spaces without necessarily losing out on the main aspects of a larger size swimming pool. They have also proven to be ideal for exercise and training.
Conversely, those with enough room are not afraid to request bigger pools to suit the extra space available to them.

Lighting
Technology is advancing at a rapid rate, and pool technology has not been left behind. One of the more exciting features being installed in pools today is smart lighting. This pool lighting feature gives the owner control over the brightness of the lights and the multi-coloured bulbs that are a part of it. Naturally, this is much more effective during the night-time.
With smart lighting, you can effortlessly dazzle your guests and create the atmosphere that you desire.
Bars and Ledges
Trends have shifted; the desire to sit back and relax aside the pool has become a wish to do so inside the same. To accommodate this, areas for relaxation are now being built into the pool itself to have either ledges for sitting or entire bars. While this trend is not particularly new, it was initially a construct of beach resorts where one only saw such marvels once or twice a year while on holiday. With the evolution of our thinking and daring, bars inside private pools are not uncommon any more.
Darker Finishes
These serve multiple purposes. Darker finishes are better heat retainers than other types; therefore your pool will not require as much energy to heat, providing valuable cost savings. With the popularity of cleaner, more basic colour pallets in interior design, having a darker finish within the pool helps to carry the theme from the inside of the house through to the interior, creating a harmonious feel to the home.
For those that desire it, darker pool finishes give a fascinating final look, where your pool will look more like a lagoon, which can conceal the presence of dirt and debris between cleanings.
Which of the latest pool trends take your fancy? Whatever you choose, there are experts available to guide you through the selection and installation process. You and your duly impressed friends will soon be enjoying a lazy summer day in a swimming pool that is a testament to the most discerning of tastes.
