As summer turns up the heat, it’s only natural to begin daydreaming of having a sparkling swimming pool in your own garden. Whether you’re looking to make a landscaping statement, evoke a sense of resort-style escapism or to simply provide entertainment for the whole family, a pool will do it all. But, with so many shapes, sizes and styles to choose from, how do you know which is the right choice for you? Budgets, planning and permits can all play a role in narrowing it down, but surrounding scenery and architecture should also be taken into consideration. Steal the style from this selection of pools to covet, and be guided by expert advice.
BIG IS BEAUTIFUL
Nothing says ‘resort style’ like a pool that encompasses the entire front yard, complete with a stepping-stone entryway. “I am inspired by island life, so this pool was always going to have a luxe resort feel,” says Kristy Giumelli, homeowner and designer of this showstopping pool. “The shape was determined by the block’s angled boundary and my desire to have water surrounding the whole front of the home.” The custom concrete pool is finished with iridescent glass mosaics and marble coping. Crisp, white PVC fencing brings the Hamptons look home.
