5 Tips for a Modern Pool Design

5 Tips for a Modern Pool Design

Are you interested in a sleek and modern aesthetic for your pool design? Most modern pools are minimalistic, so the challenge is not determining what to add but figuring out how to keep the look clean and simple. As you put together plans for your new pool, consider these five design features for a sleek and modern pool design.

Minimal Pool Features

Most modern pools achieve their sleek style with very simple pool features. While features like large water slides, rock grottos and tiki torches add exciting elements to your backyard design, today’s modern pools have nothing more than a few tasteful pieces of patio furniture on the deck and purposeful lighting features. If you want to add something to the pool and surrounding space, consider unique underwater lighting, single stream fountains, or small water flow instead of large flowing waterfalls.

Understated, Classic Pool Lighting

When designing a sleek, modern pool, you should look for subtle, classic pool lighting choices that still provide ample lighting for pool and patio activities. Consider symmetrical fire pits, ambient floating candles, and simple torch lights. Keep in mind that understated does not necessarily mean small. For example, there are large fire pits with very modern styles.

Simple Modern Patio Furniture

As you put together a modern pool space, it is important to remember that pool space exists for rest and relaxation. As such, pool patio furniture should promote peace and comfort. Look for enticing lounge chairs, wicker pieces with large cushions, simple wooden furniture, and glass patio tables with neutral umbrellas.

Modern Deck Surface

The most important aspect of choosing a deck material and design is that they coordinate with the house and landscaping. This process ensures that the entire property will have a cohesive modern aesthetic. If you do not take the time to do this, a modern pool may look out of place in its setting.

Geometric: The Modern Pool Design Shape

A geometric pool shape can help to create a sleek and streamlined design. Rectangular is the prominent shape for modern pool designs and remains classic. As long as you continue to update the surrounding pool elements regularly, you’ll be able to maintain a modern, geometric pool for many years.
