How to create a luxury swimming pool
Design
Regardless of whether you’re opting for an indoor pool or outdoor lido, choosing the right design is essential to creating that luxury feel! The space where you intend to build your swimming pool will of course have a huge impact on the design. For example, plunge pools work perfectly in areas of limited space, whilst infinity pools will provide uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape (should you be lucky enough to enjoy them). Pools with curved walls and edges create a more organic feel, whilst clean, straight edges can help to create a modern or contemporary look.
Lighting
Lighting is another fantastic way to boost the luxuriousness of your swimming pool. Here are some of our favourite lighting ideas for swimming pools:
Deck lighting
Installing lights directly into your swimming pool decking can really help to make your pool feel more opulent, illuminating the surrounding area in contrast to traditional lighting, improving the overall aesthetics and ambience.
Moonlighting
Recreate the luxury feel of bathing in the moonlight by installing soft lighting in surrounding aerial locations, whether it be trees, plants or manmade structures.
Underwater LED lighting
Underwater lighting can be fitted during construction, or retrospectively, and can really enhance the look of your swimming pool. Install mood lighting and relax in comfort, or perhaps a funkier alternative which can be synchronised to your music of choice for the ultimate party piece.
Entertainment
Audio entertainment
Consider installing an above or in water speaker system to really bring your luxury pool to life. With the right equipment and professional installation it’s possible to integrate underwater speakers into the overall outdoor sound system for uninterrupted tunes in and out of the pool. You’ll need speakers, an amplifier and a mixer to make it happen, which although may seem expensive, we think is well worth the investment!
Visual entertainment
It’s not just tunes that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your swimming pool, there is an entire market for projector screens designed for use in your outdoor or indoor swimming pool. Watch a film, sports or your favourite series in style!
Facilities
Showers
You’ll want to shower before and after using your swimming pool, so why not consider installing a purpose built facility. Guests won’t need to trudge through your home before and after a dip, and you’ll be sure that your pool water remains optimally clean.
Spas
What could be more luxurious than relaxing in your very own steam room or sauna. Once installed these facilities are inexpensive to run, and they’ll help to transform your pool space into a luxurious spa like retreat.
Landscaping
Greenery
Create your very own utopia with a beautifully landscaped green area surrounding your pool. From tropical palm trees to native willows and firs, you can completely transform your pool area based on your own idea of luxury and personal preferences.
Water features
Water features, which range from simple fountains to more elaborate designs with multiple levels and lighting, are another great way to improve the aesthetic of your pool. Not only do they add visual interest to your space, but they can also provide the perfect natural soundtrack to compliment your luxury swimming pool.
