When you hear the phrase “luxury backyard pools”, a lot of different visions come to mind — from large rectangular pools that glisten in the sun to freeform pools that add dynamic visual interest to an outdoor area. While unique in some respects, there are those common threads that bond these types of backyard pools and give them that luxurious feel homeowners desire.
Common Bonds Between All Types of Luxury Backyard Pools
1. Made of High-Quality Materials
Luxury backyard pools are a big investment, so naturally you want them to last. This begins with the materials used to build the structure.
Compared to vinyl and concrete, fiberglass is not only the more durable material, but it also provides the most elegant look and the smoothest finish. (Not to mention, it’s also the lowest maintenance option.) Collectively, these qualities make fiberglass an ideal choice for luxe pools. While your pool will look the part, its smooth gel coat finish is kinder to feet and bathing suits, creating a better experience for you and your guests.
2. Fit in Seamlessly with Landscape
A swimming pool is a beautiful addition to any outdoor living area. But when you think about this feature in the larger context of your landscape, the pool should complement its surroundings to create the most luxurious feel.
Let’s say you have an existing patio with natural stone pavers. In that case, you might opt for a shale gray fiberglass pool with a gray border to carry on this neutral appearance. Alternatively, you may want to add an outdoor kitchen to your backyard after a pool construction is complete. To connect these two features, you might consider a layout where the outdoor kitchen is placed between the pool and the house and faces the pool. That way, the chef can easily interact with the group and guests can easily grab any snacks or beverages they need.
3. Emphasize Customization Throughout
Customization can come in many forms in a backyard swimming pool. While some custom design elements are geared toward enhanced aesthetics and others are geared toward enhanced functionality (and in many cases a combination of the two), the end result is a more luxury style swimming pool.
Take water features, for instance. Whether you opt for a waterfall or a bubbler (to name a few examples), these tasteful accents create a resort-like ambiance where relaxation is top of mind. Also lending itself to the feel of an outdoor sanctuary is a tanning ledge that provides additional space for you and your guests to bask in the sun, and can also function as a shallow play area for small kids.
