Knoxville, TN pool contractors discuss swimming pool trends

It seems as though every year there is a new trend – whether it’s in colors or styles, but when it comes to owning a swimming pool, there is nothing better than having a pool – regardless of the trends. Once you have talked with your swimming pool contractor from Tipton Pools and have gotten the project underway to have your own swimming pool installed, you can certainly incorporate trends, but overall it’s best to choose a pool and a pool design that suits your family’s unique needs… not jumps on a trend.

Here are some things you may want to consider when talking with your pool contractor about designing your swim up spaoutdoor living area and your swimming pool:

  1. Turn your backyard into a resort. The landscaping and the pool you choose can turn your backyard from, well a simple backyard into a beautiful resort area. With the installation of a waterslide for the pool, a rock waterfall and the trees and plant life you choose the pool area can take on a lagoon feel and have a secluded, relaxing feel to it.
  2. Overflow pools and vanishing edge styles are always popular because of the unique look and feel they give the pool area. Whether you have a “yard with a view” or if you want to have a smaller spill over spa – which resembles a vanishing edge pool, this style is striking and unique.
  3. Having a spa or hot tub constructed as part of the swimming pool structure itself is popular. With this style it’s possible to never leave the pool water when you go into the hot tub.
  4. Geometry rules. Swimming pool owners are embracing geometry when they’re having their pools installed. Octagon, connected circles or triangles or even rectangles with other shapes are popular.
  5. Fitness and fun all in one. A swimming pool is ideal for fun and fitness and if you’re not able to make a decision on which you prefer, then incorporate both! Talk with your pool contractor about a fitness spa or a lap pool. A full sized pool is ideal for playing with friends and family and that is a great way to “sneak in” exercise for your children.

Decide what you want to accomplish with your swimming pool and then your pool contractor can help make it happen!
