Mac D: Pool Construction

Preparing to construct a pool this year comes with the daunting task of selecting from various types, styles and layouts. Fortunately, most pools are highly customisable, allowing you to tailor design choices to your liking. From colours to lighting and materials, you have the freedom to create a pool that reflects your style and brings instant serenity every time you glance at it.

Splash out with these 2024 pool trends from Mac D Designer Fireplaces and Pools.

Dynamic pool finishes

Several natural factors influence the appearance and colour of pool water, from changing sunlight angles to surrounding landscaping. To alter the water’s appearance, consider opting for a pool finish with a unique hue. Try:

Light grey liners for a bright, bold blue water effect.
Pale blue or white interior tiles for translucent or crystalline blue water.
Green, tan, or brown accents for soft green tones.
Dark blue liners or tiles for a deeper blue hue.
Beige or cream interiors for serene turquoise water.

Eco-friendly and sustainable designs

When it comes to the construction, the chemicals and the maintenance, designing the pool of your dreams doesn’t have to be a drain on the planet. The latest pool trends make it easy and affordable to design a water feature using sustainable practices and materials to minimise environmental impact.

Look for energy-efficient selections when choosing lighting inside and outside of the pool. Solar-powered and rechargeable fixtures are great to start. When it comes to cleaning and filtering the water, opt for systems that require less energy to power. You can also harness the sun when you’re heating the pool. Skip the heating systems that raise your electricity bill and instead use solar covers and solar panels to keep the water at the perfect temperature.

Tanning ledges

Don’t be misled by the name; the shallow entry design of sun lounger platforms—also known as tanning ledges or sun shelves—offers a wealth of entertainment and options for both adults and children. While they provide a perfect spot for relaxing and soaking up the sun, their benefits extend far beyond mere tanning. For families with young children, sun lounger platforms offer a safe space for babies and toddlers to splash and play.

Unique pool depths

Traditionally, pools are designed with one side shallow and the other significantly deeper. However, modern designs offer flexibility to cater to the homeowner’s individual lifestyle preferences.

One option is to have all sides of the pool at the same depth, with the deepest point situated at the centre. Alternatively, for households with avid swimmers, a uniform water height throughout the pool can be achieved. Another creative design idea involves extending the tanning ledge to encompass every side of the pool, providing ample space for lounging in shallow water.

Fire features

While outdoor fire features such as fireplaces and various types of fire pits are typically found on patios and decks, the latest trends in pool design seamlessly blend fire and water. These elements together add a dramatic touch that can enhance the overall look and atmosphere of your pool area.
