For many homeowners, designing a swimming pool means sticking with traditional oval and rectangular shapes. Though these are nice and can add property value to your home, you can take it a step further. Here are some ideas to help you upgrade your current swimming pool design. These ideas can be used by you and your guests and can give an added unique touch you may not normally consider. 

Tanning Ledges

Tanning ledges are an easy addition to your swimming pool design. The ledges can be added on any side of your pool. They can be placed where they are above the water or slightly submerged to allow you to swim and sunbathe at the same time. Ledges can also be made of mosaic tiles and designs to add even more ambulance to the swimming pool. Your builders can create any style of tanning ledge and loungers that fit your needs and your outdoor decor style. Also keep in mind that you can use various materials for the tanning ledges as well to add even more customization.

Enclose the Pool

If you can only enjoy your pool during certain months of the year, consider an enclosure. Enclosures can be simple, screened-in options or they can be full spa glass options. The range of materials is up to you, but the end result is the same. You will have a pool that you can enjoy throughout the year and in most temperatures. You will also have the ability to heat the pol and the pool enclosure to keep the temperature at the perfect one for your needs. 

Waterfall Upgrades

A waterfall upgrade can add an ideal solution to give your pool more ambiance and depth. It can capture the eye and give a tropical escape or spa-like feel to the swimming area. However, a waterfall upgrade can also add another aspect to your swimming area. The waterfall can give you the ability to clean the water and pump the water, keeping it flowing. This allows the water to cycle through and filter on a level the standard pool filters may not offer.
