2023 Swimming Pool Design Trends

A swimming pool can be an expression of your own personal taste — a statement piece that separates your home from others, so make sure it stands out with a stellar design. From geometric to free-form pools, there are an infinite number of design options, technologies, and special features to make your pool special. Here are the top trends of 2023:

1. Infinity Pool (also knows as Vanishing Edge & Zero Edge Pool)
   Infinity pools are always in demand because of their sleek and contemporary aesthetic. This stunning pool design is particularly attractive with sloping backyards, which creates the illusion of the pool vanishing into the horizon beyond. Infinity pools are designed with one edge lower than the others, thus allowing water to spill over into a basin below, creating the look of never-ending water. The water that is caught in the basin then gets cycled back into the pool. These pools can be more expensive to build, but are well worth the cost if you’re looking for the very best visuals.
   
2. Geometric Shapes
   Kidney shape and free-form pools have been declining in recent years, with many homeowners opting for the clean and sophisticated aesthetic of geometric pools, which boast clean lines and a simple yet stunning look.  Geometric pools can be simple rectangles or include a series of right angles. Looking to really enhance the aesthetic? Add an attached in-ground spa to complement the pool.
   
3. Outdoor Living Spaces
   Today, swimming pools are seldom stand-alone features. Instead, the pool has become a part of the outdoor experience, with outdoor living spaces, kitchens, and in-ground spas, which provides the ultimate entertainment experience. In San Diego, we enjoy perfect weather all year round, so why not create and outdoor space that’s as stunning and functional as inside your home?
   
4. Sun Decks
   Instead of having just a deep and shallow end, pools today often incorporate sun decks with loungers. This creates the ultimate relaxation center, allowing you to keep cool on hot days by partially submerging in water. Loungers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and really add to the pool’s comfort.
