The Top Pool Trends of 2024

Posted April 11, 2024 in 3D Design, Blog, Design/Build, General, outdoor design, Pool, Videos, Water Feature

To create the ideal swimming pool in the Lehigh Valley, it’s important to focus on a design that fits seamlessly with your surroundings. Choosing the wrong pool company could result in a disrupted backyard, unfinished work, fines, and more. That’s why we recommend partnering with a company that can help you envision your overall space– not just the pool– to avoid such pitfalls.

So before installing or renovating your pool, familiarize yourself with 2024’s latest trends, visualize them in your space, contemplate additional features, and budget the total cost before you start digging a hole for your new inground swimming pool. Here are some noteworthy pool trends to consider:

  • Multi-functional features 

This enthusiastic family was excited to begin their new home’s backyard transformation, and we were thrilled to help realize its outdoor potential! Their project wish list was detailed but allowed for personalized solutions. So we helped them develop a custom outdoor living space with an inground swimming pool complete with multi-functional features that fit everyone’s lifestyle while honoring the home’s gorgeous architecture and clean, modern farmhouse aesthetic.

The Shriver Family desired a simple yet stylish outdoor haven for both adult relaxation and kids’ play. So we helped them craft a design that features a custom inground swimming pool complete with a multi-functional sun shelf, ideal for in-water lounging, and a chic umbrella for sun protection, allowing parents to supervise their children comfortably. The pool’s wide ‘church steps’ serve as versatile seating, accommodating any water depth preference, and have already proven to be a wonderful backdrop for many family photos.

  • Custom Spillover Spa or Hot Tub 

We get that swimming is not for everyone. But, a new spillover spa or custom hot tub can enhance your home with tranquil beauty while serving as a stunning centerpiece for your outdoor area, especially with a one-of-a-kind design that steals the show in any setting, offering everyone a chance to indulge regardless of the time, temperature, or company.

This feature was designed to be the main focal point within the space no matter the time of day or how many people want to enjoy the new swimming pool and spa. Our designers strategically placed each tile so the water cascades and shimmers under all lighting to create an enchanting, unicorn-like effect. The tiles’ light hue not only dazzles but the custom spillover spa also remains cool to the touch, preventing burns during sun-drenched summers, and seamlessly extends into the spa’s catch basin and pool’s edge for a cohesive look.

  • Choose the right layout & details 

Picking the perfect swimming pool isn’t a simple one-size-fits-all. Without planning, you might get a pool that’s too large, too deep, or unsuitable for your needs and wants. Or a new inground swimming pool that just doesn’t match the look or feel of your home.

That’s why our design-first approach in the Lehigh Valley allows you to visualize your new pool, ensuring it fits your home and lifestyle, whether for exercise, entertainment, or relaxation. Your designer will guide you through essential questions to tailor your pool design for the right users, guaranteeing your investment fulfills your dreams without leaving you with an empty hole and mess in your backyard.
