2. Choose The Pool Surface Pattern

There are variety of building materials for swimming pool covering, including porcelain tile, mosaic tiles, glass, stone, concrete, etc. Different materials will create different pool types. Choosing stone pavers is natural and prevailing for your pool, while people uncommonly use stone to cover all the pool areas, stone is mostly used for pool decks, pool surround and waterfall areas.

For pool bottoms and walls, people prefer to use blue or green porcelain tile to build a ocean-like space. Porcelain tile is popular due to its durable quality and low-water-absorption rate. Mosaic tiles are also a top use in private pool, for mosaic tile provide wide range of choices in materials, shapes, colors and textures. Homeowner even can customize mosaic art for unique pool look. With small chip size, there are many gaps to make your pool less slippery and be safer for your family.

 

3. Choose Pool Color

The pool color will make great difference on your pool look as well as pool water color. Blue and green is common to see in pool. Lighter color creates a bright look, while dark color can add depth to pool space, it depends on what you want. I would recommend you to choose a bold blue color if you want something different but not too overpowering. Look at the villa pool below, it is finished with our our federal blue – best pool tile color in 2018, the blue is deep,pure and high-class, the glossy surface looks wonderful under water and lighting, and works perfectly to build a big ocean to your house.

Have you already feel tired of traditional rectangle-shape pool? So you can choose the shape you like and fit your budget. Just design it and take your existing landscape and buildings into consideration. In angular area, rectangle pool is a great choice. You may also install a pool with curves to take good use of your areas.

5. Do The Right Dimension

The right dimension means right space for your pool. That means, you should firstly consider the available space for your pool construction, which helps to decide the pool design and size, and you don’t have to redo pool design and waste materials you bought. If the space is big enough, you can also have pool deck, patio, spa, tub and any structures.

Adding water feature such as waterfall or water wave will make your swim pool more interesting and lively. That is also a good idea if you cannot go out swimming and the sun is too brisk. Coldness can be brought to you through water feature. You can choose a waterfall design to fit your taste and budget.
