Pool Styles

When choosing or designing a swimming pool, it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed. After all, there are more types and styles of pools than ever before! However, the easiest way to keep from feeling overwhelmed is to educate yourself on various style options and how they differ. That way, you’ll have an idea of what types of pools you’re most interested in and what they have to offer before you even start shopping.  

Rectangular Pools  

Rectangular pools are a great, basic choice for many pool buyers. They can easily fit into just about any yard, offer plenty of room for swimming and exercise, and come in a wide range of sizes. Plus, they’re usually very easy to install, which means you could have your rectangular pool up and running before you know it!  

Lagoon Pools  

If you’re in the market for a beautiful, luxurious pool, a lagoon-style pool may be for you. These pools feature a curvy, serpentine design that allows them to add visual interest and beauty to your home and your yard. They’re also equipped to handle stylish add-ons, such as waterfalls and in-pool seating. Lagoon pools look and feel quite upscale, but do be prepared to spend more than you would on a more basic pool.  

Vanishing Edge Pools  

Vanishing edge pools are extremely popular right now, and it’s (literally!) easy to see why. These pools are incredibly beautiful and stylish. Their defining feature is that at least one of the pool sides sits lower, allowing water to flow over it. This can make it so that you can’t really tell where the pool begins or ends . . . but in a wonderful, beautifying way.  

Freeform Pools  

If you’re having trouble picking a pool shape or style out of the above options, then look into freeform pools. These pools come in a range of shapes, from curvy to rounded and beyond. If you simply browse through different freeform options, you should be able to easily find one that’s a perfect fit for your yard and your vision.  

These are some of the most popular pool styles on the market, so understanding each one will give you a great headstart on your pool journey. Your best choice is to narrow your selection down to a few designs you love and then to work with a pool company to discover which one is the ideal choice for your price range and your yard. If you can follow those simple steps, then you’ll be on the right track to proud pool ownership!
