These top pool trends of 2021 will not only help you make a pool that you will enjoy for years to come but also increase the resale value.
Are you thinking about installing a new pool or renovating your current one? As with all changes you make to your home, increasing the resale value should always be at the forefront of your mind. Despite things normalizing, people are still spending more time at home, especially in the form of stay-cations. One of the amenities that homebuyers want is a stellar pool. Incorporating features that people desire will help you get top dollar for your home should you decide to sell your home. Let’s take a look at the top pool trends of 2021.
Hardscaping
Landscaping, such as beds with beautiful flowers, is aesthetically pleasing but requires a great deal of maintenance to ensure they always look their best. An alternative, called hardscaping, is becoming more and more popular when designing pools. These features not only look stunning but require little to no maintenance. Examples of hardscaping include:
- Rock walls
- Fountains
- Rock gardens
- Fencing
- Retaining walls
- Pergolas
Relaxing Spa Features
Resort-like spa features are a great way to elevate the traditional pool. Incorporating a hot tub, spa, and/or jacuzzi will provide additional options for relaxing. Additional upgrades include:
- Waterfalls
- Fountains
- Heated pool for year-round use
After a long day at work, this is how you will want to spend your time!
Infinite Fun
Infinity-style, aka seamless pools, are all the rage. This modern take on a traditional pool makes it hard to tell where your pool ends because it blends into the surroundings. If you’re looking for a cutting-edge design, an infinity pool is certainly one to consider. Combine it with a ‘lagoon’ type feel by making the pool a dark blue color versus the traditional lighter tones, and you will have your very own home at-home resort.
Extended Outdoor Living Space
There is no question that the pool should be the focal point of your outdoor living area. However, maximize the usability of your space by extending the exterior living space. Consider incorporating an outdoor kitchen, BBQ, or comfortable seating area.
The Perfect Ambiance
Lighting is for more than being able to see for nighttime laps. Installing smart lighting allows you to create the perfect ambiance right from your smart device. Change the brightness level or even the colors. This is an easy way to bring a little bit of entertainment to your pool that is convenient to control from anywhere!
Saltwater is In
Installing saltwater systems versus chlorine pools is growing in popularity. Although the initial price tends to be a little higher, it is offset by lower maintenance requirements. Not to mention, it requires less chemical treatment and is gentler on more sensitive skin.
