5 Ways to Enhance Your Pool's Wow Factor
For some, having a swimming pool is an achievement in itself, but if you are looking to add some more wow factor to your stylish fibreglass pool, you can add some extra elements to enhance, and drastically improve the appeal and enjoyment of your backyard. Here are five impressive ideas to transform your pool into a showstopper.
1- Glass Pool Fencing
Keeping your pool safe and secure to prevent tragic drownings is imperative. To be compliant, you must have a pool fence in place, and this is something you will have to factor in when designing your swimming pool or spa area. There are many options of pool fencing that you can choose from. To give your pool an impressive feature, make sure you choose fencing which complements your pool area. Fencing can either make or break the appearance of your pool. If your current pool fencing is outdated, you can consider updating it. When it comes to aesthetically pleasing fencing we love the look and functionality of frameless glass fencing. It provides an unrestricted view of your swimming pool and looks modern. Plus it can also protect you against the wind and getting cold when you get out of the water because there are minimal gaps between the panes of glass. It can also reduce evaporation of your swimming pool which can save you money.
2- Invest In Smart Technology
Smart technology gives pool owners access to control all aspects of their swimming pool from the convenience of their smart device. You can control the lighting, heating, pump cycles and even cleaning of the pool. This technology is the way of the future for pools. Surely before too long, this will be a standard integration in new swimming pools. For now, you can opt to have your pool integrated fully, or you can convert one component at a time.
3- Tanning Ledges And Built-In Seating Areas
Tanning ledges and built-in seating areas are trending right now. When it comes to swimming pools adding a tanning ledge and/or a seating area is an ideal way to draw people outdoors for some quality time, plus a bonus is that they look amazing. Tanning ledges are essentially a shallow portion of the pool that is primarily designed for tanning and relaxing. You can even add an in-pool lounger to this area with a large tassel umbrella. This will create a magazine-worthy space that is sure to have your guests’ eyes popping. Alternatively you can have the seating built in at one end of the pool area or for something extra special. You could even consider a sunken lounge to provide a sense of privacy and comfort.
4- Water Features
The sound of running water is proven to have therapeutic benefits and can help you and your guests to relax and unwind. When it comes to adding the wow factor with a water feature, your options are endless. Here are a few options you can choose from.
Water Wall
For you to have a water wall added to your pool, all it needs to have is a wall, the rest of the design is completely up to you. A water wall is the most popular water feature found in Australians pools. The great thing about water walls is that they can be as basic or complex as you want. The more elaborate and detailed your water wall is, the bigger the impact is going to be.
Rainfall Curtain
The result of a rainfall curtain is a sheet of water that not only sounds heavenly but looks incredible too. If you have never heard of a rainfall curtain before, it is basically a long pipe which has numerous holes across it. When the tap or water is turned on the water falls out of the holes. Generally, they are placed up high on the edge of an outdoor entertaining area roof that is over the pool, or you can even create a structure that you can secure the water feature to.
Rock Waterfall
When looking for the wow factor, if you are installing a rock waterfall, it is generally better to choose larger boulders and rock mounds to have the water cascading down them. You can even create a cave-like structure over the swimming pool. With the water tumbling down over the entrance, this can create a private spot and a fun play area for the kids. You can also have spa jets at this end of the pool to make a unique spa that is like no other!
5- Spas For The Win
Owning a swimming pool is beneficial for improving your overall lifestyle, but why just have a swimming pool when you can have the extra added benefits of having a spa too? Adding a spa provides a sheltered haven for parents to enjoy while the kids are burning off energy in the pool. Warm water boasts a whole array of health benefits, and not only that, it can add a touch of class and luxury to your swimming pool. There are a few ways that you can install your spa. One of those is with a spillover, where the water from the spa spills over into the pool. This will double as a water feature and creates a stunning effect.
Conclusion
Whilst some of these options can be expensive, they can greatly add to the overall enjoyment of your swimming pool, and even add value to your home.
