There are plenty of ways to spruce up your Austin swimming pool to bring it up-to-date with the latest trends and make it stand out from your neighbors’ pools. Whether your pool is in need of revamping or you’re simply looking to do something a little different, here are a few interesting pool trends to consider.
Knife-Edge Infinity Pools
Infinity pools are nothing new in the world of swimming pool design, but “knife-edge” pools take this style to a whole new level. A traditional infinity pool is one that features an edge that appears as though the water is extending into the horizon. Essentially, it looks as though the pool is missing an edge and gives the illusion that the water is flowing into infinity, hence the term.
“Knife-edge” pools, however, are slightly different. Instead of having water spill over only one edge of the swimming pool, a knife edge allows the water to spill out from all sides. This gives the pool more of a beachy vibe. It’s also great for small children to enter the pool, and allows for a convenient spot to place chairs while dipping your feet into the water.
Underwater Windows
Depending on where your swimming pool is placed, underwater windows allow bathers to peer out beyond the confines of the pool. Even bottoms of pools can have transparent materials to give swimmers the feeling as though they’re swimming in a bottomless ocean. If your pool’s placement is close to something that deserves a view from under the water’s surface, underwater windows might be something to consider.
Nature-Inspired Features
Many homeowners in Austin, TX are opting for pool features that mimic what you would see out in the wild. For instance, items such as plants, rocks, and other natural organisms can be placed in and around a pool to give it a more natural look and feel.
