It is precisely in the summer months that we dream of a paradisiacal garden with a pool. Is there anything better than refreshing yourself in the swimming pool on a sunny day or lounging and sunbathing on the pool terrace? Today we will show you a few excellent examples of outdoor pools in the countryside that offer unique bathing fun. Get inspiration for your own building project and design a wonderful outdoor space for swimming and lounging.
Blue is associated with water, which is why blue tiles are particularly popular for swimming pools. This means the pool water appears blue and clear, even if the sky is gray. White, on the other hand, is associated with purity andCleanliness of the poolconnected, even if it is difficult to maintain outdoors. White treads in the green lawn, white sun loungers and the edge of the pool shine in the summer sun. The red-flowering hedge is not only an attractive splash of color, but also a good privacy screen.
You can create a tropical outdoor space with some exotic plants. However, if you don't live in a mild climate, you should put them in planters and find a place for them in the house during the winter.
You can make the pool really unique by adding an island. You can then cover these with grass, as seen here, and add a tree or plant shrubs and flowers. But keep in mind that watering will be more difficult. For this reason, you can add a small bridge if necessary.
In Australia the law requires that railings be built around the pool. This serves as protection for children. However, you can also add it as a decorative element. This way the whole thing looks much more elegant.
A swimming pool does not necessarily have to be rectangular or round. Experiment with different symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes. This can also create terrace areas that serve different purposes - dining, barbecue, sun and lounge areas.
The wooden pool terrace has a natural look and visually connects the swimming pool with the surrounding landscape. However, wood for outdoor use should be specially treated or given a special coating to make it resistant to water and moisture. Pressure-impregnated wood or WPC planks are best suited for pool decks.
Stone slabs are also very popular as patio coverings. Whether sandstone, slate, quartz, travertine, limestone or granite, with the right care, stone patios can last for generations. Each of these types of stone has a special character that can totally change the atmosphere on your pool terrace.
Although pool decks are designed for sunbathing, the summer heat and strong sun can become unbearable. Consider the possibility of building a structure that can provide protection from the strong sun. For variants that are close to the house, a retractable awning or patio cover is a good option for shading the pool terrace. For pool terraces located in the middle of the garden, a pergola can provide a shady place to relax. Awnings and wooden canopies provide more shade, while pergolas filter out harsh sun rays and still allow light to pass through. They can also be beautifully planted with climbing plants.
Water features are also an important part of the modern garden and can be designed directly next to the swimming pool. Have you ever dreamed of swimming under a waterfall? With proper garden planning, this dream can also come true in your own outdoor area. To do this, you need a suitable water feature that is installed in the swimming pool and flows directly into it. Waterfall facilities bring great joy and enjoyment not only to children but also to adults.
True picture landscapes can be created from mosaic tiles. The blue mosaic with a rose motif is really highlighted by the edge in a pleasant sand tone. The possibilities for designing the pool floor are simply endless. You decide for yourself whether floral motifs, geometric figures or even your own initials. Glass mosaics in different colors can be used to create beautiful images on the bottom of the swimming pool.
It is no coincidence that glass mosaic for swimming pools is usually blue. It should evoke the vast sea and ocean and give an idea of beach and relaxation. If you want to emphasize the swimming pool, you can decorate the pool terrace with accents in the same color. In this example, the cushions for the garden loungers are color coordinated with the mosaic of the swimming pool, creating a harmonious picture in the garden with pool.
Even if you only have a small garden area, you shouldn't miss out on the swimming pool. If space in the garden is limited, you can replace the lawns and lush flower beds with a small pool. This might be too small for swimming, but it certainly provides the cooling you dreamed of in the hot summer months. With a small pool, you shouldn't completely forego planting, but you can freshen up the wooden deck with a few plant pots.
Nothing brings more enjoyment in the pool than a relaxing bubble bath. If you can't decide between a swimming pool and a whirlpool in the garden, the two can be combined. You can have a swimming pool built for your own outdoor area that is equipped with a whirlpool section. With such luxury in the backyard, you can spend the whole summer in the garden with friends and family.
You don't necessarily want to have a large swimming pool built. Natural pools appear much more natural in the garden and are perfect for natural landscaping. You can also cool down in a natural pool in the heat, but no chemicals are used. For this reason, various plants and algae grow in the natural pool, which ensure the natural look.
When it comes to pool design, there is a wide variety of shapes and models that can be modified according to your own ideas. An example of an unusual swimming pool design can be seen in the picture. This pool starts out shallow and gets deeper to the left. The transition from the shallows to the deeper part is gentle and is designed like a kind of slide.
Both the shape of the swimming pool and its design play an important role. The colors used should be in harmony with the rest of the garden and the design should fit well into the existing landscape. Asymmetrical shapes are particularly popular for romantic garden design and combine beautifully with curved flower beds and lawn edges.
Of course, you should also think about a suitable privacy screen to block the view from outside. High, opaque walls are a good option, but they usually appear too massive. Alternatively, the wall can be planted with hedge plants or ornamental grass. These fulfill the function of a privacy screen and at the same time provide additional greenery in the garden area. Ornamental grasses can also be used to create low partition walls around the swimming pool, which give the pool area structure and create a natural atmosphere.
