Having a pool in your backyard is one of life’s greatest
luxuries. After all, nothing beats getting some sun and then splashing around
in the water, all from the privacy and comfort of your own home. And, whether
you’ve had your pool for years or you’re just getting it put in, it’s always
fun to enhance your pool with the latest trends and accessories. Speaking of
which, there are definitely some “must-haves” and cool ideas to check out this
summer.
Dark Finishes
In the past, pools were all about light touches and
crystal-blue bottoms. While it’s fine to keep your pool looking like that, many
people are turning to darker finishes and bottoms for their pools.
Choosing a darker finish adds a more rustic, natural look
that many people find attractive. Plus, a darker surface can also help your
pool to absorb heat more easily, keeping your water warmer and more
comfortable. And, as an added bonus, dirt and debris aren’t as easily
noticeable with a dark-bottomed pool, which means you can get away with
cleaning at least a little less often.
Even Depths
Most pools have different depths at different areas of the
pool. The most popular design is for a pool to start shallow at the entrance
and then get deeper as the pool goes on.
While there’s nothing wrong with this standard design, a lot
of modern pool owners are requesting even depth pools, which have the same
water depth all the way across. Some people like the even look, while others
like the safety of having pool water that is always at a consistent depth. Even
depths can also make lap swimming and water sports easier and more enjoyable.
So, if you’re putting in a pool or looking to transform your
current one, this is definitely something to consider.
Oversized Floats
One final trend, one that’s a little less dramatic than the
others presented here, is oversized floats. This summer, everyone seems to be
boarding giant flamingos or unicorns that can hold several people on one float.
Adding a couple of these to your pool is an easy way to
ensure a great time, no matter what type of pool you have.
These are just a few of many great ideas to liven up your
current pool or to think about when installing a new one. No matter what trends
you follow, make the most of your pool and have a splashing-great summer!
