Design a pool for a small garden that is practical and space-saving

A garden with a pool is the dream of many homeowners. However, if the garden is quite small, it can be difficult to find the right model without sacrificing too much of the valuable garden. The small swimming pool should be sufficient for relaxing and perhaps swimming, but at the same time leave enough space for plants, flowers and a terrace. If you don't want a simple outdoor pool, then you can be inspired by the following ideas and have a pool built for a small garden.

In principle, you can choose the size depending on how much lawn and bed space you ultimately want to have left. The less garden you need, the larger the pool can be. You can also adapt the new pool to the shape of the garden. A long, rectangular pool was chosen for this narrow backyard.

Few plants

The owners of this house decided to transform the small garden almost entirely into a swimming pool. Only one tree remains from the former garden. This pool for small gardens offers enough space for swimming and can be crossed via stepping stones. The kitchen's folding doors provide a perfect view and access.

Narrow swimming pool

A narrow, long swimming pool allows better use of the small garden. There is space for a fairly spacious lawn and a dining area. The edge of the pool serves as a bench and thus offers additional seating. When planning, also consider the appropriate lighting, as this has a major influence on the atmosphere in the evening hours.

Gartenin white

If you don't care about swimming in the swimming pool, you can also design such a square pool for a small garden and save a lot of space that you can use not only for flower beds and a larger terrace. This can also leave room for a garden shower. The design with white color also looks oriental and exotic and makes the small area appear more spacious.

Raised bedsas a frame

Design such a niche in which you can install the pool in a rectangular or square shape. The framework is formed by narrow raised beds that you can plant with lush plants to make the pool area more natural and comfortable. You can use the area in front of the swimming pool for a lawn or terrace. Depending on what you need and want…

More modernSwimming pool

Here you can see an attractive idea with a modern style. The swimming pool is visually separated from the green lawn by a garden path made of stepping stones. It also leads from the house to the terrace with a dining table and benches. The rectangular pool is decorated with wood and white decorative gravel on both sides.

Onthe terrace

Raised beds were designed to plant this outdoor area. The rest of the garden serves as a terrace and pool area at the same time. The pool has steps and a bench in the water where you can relax in the cool water. The gray floor of the terrace matches the turquoise tiles of the pool perfectly. All of this transforms the small garden into a feel-good paradise.

If space allows, you can of course also consider larger swimming pools. Here the garden pool is located directly on the covered terrace. An eye-catcher is without a doubt the friendly little island, which is planted with trees and lawns. The border made of gray tiles brings out the blue pool perfectly.

Little spacepracticalto use

When it comes to the pool for a small garden, you are sometimes spoiled for choice. Since the property of this house was very small, we had to choose between a garden and a pool. As you can see, the choice fell on the swimming pool. In such cases, you can also ensure that there is enough greenery with beautifully planted containers, pots and boxes. Despite the rather long pool, there is enough space upstairs for a dining and seating area with a fire pit.

As mentioned, a small swimming pool can be designed in any shape. This variant is reminiscent of a fountain and looks particularly attractive in the garden. The pool also serves as a decorative element. It is framed by various plants and decorative gravel, while a waterfall provides a pleasant and calming splash.

ExoticFlair

If you live in a mild climate region, you can plant the area with tropical plants and create a holiday feeling. If you are not so lucky, you can still use potted plants for pool design that are brought into the house in winter. Whether for a modern or Mediterranean, rustic or classic style - plants give every pool a certain charm.

You will quickly find that even a small swimming pool can be enough to get the refreshment you need in the hot summer. Customize the small garden pool to your liking and you will have an outdoor area that can be just as relaxing as a large garden. All that is important is thorough planning.

Round swimming pool

This idea for the swimming pool is extremely original. Like the hammock, it is located in front of the bedroom and is reached via a bridge or a wooden footbridge. The swimming pool has a round shape and is made of concrete. The shady location ensures that the water always remains pleasantly cool, guaranteeing the best refreshment throughout the summer.

Simple version

It doesn't have to be anything fancy to serve its purpose. This small garden pool is rectangular in shape and has a small area for seating while the rest is designed for swimming. The only special feature is the three waterfalls that emerge from the supporting wall for the raised bed. The garden pool is surrounded by light natural stone tiles.

MuchHolz

There is also no garden in this example. The swimming pool is located directly on the spacious terrace, which was chosen instead of greenery. Instead, palm trees in pots provide greenery. The terrace and pool area are decorated with lots of wood for the floors. The ceiling of the canopy was also designed with wood. A natural and cozy atmosphere is created.

inT-Form

This pool can be accessed on two sides via built-in stairs. The middle area offers enough space for swimming. The rest of the backyard is divided into different areas, including two for loungers and a dining area with a canopy. Brick serves as the floor covering for this rustic-Mediterranean outdoor area.

LangerSwimming pool

A long and narrow swimming pool is the perfect choice for a small garden that is also narrow. It can stretch to any length and still offers space for deck chairs, tables or other areas and furniture on the other side. The long pool is a variant of the square pool for those who value being able to swim.

Loungewith pool

This swimming pool separates two lounge areas. Both the seating area and the lounger area are furnished with rattan furniture. This gives the otherwise oriental-looking outdoor area a modern touch. The little space is used optimally and promises complete relaxation in your free time.

RusticDesign

Here you can also see a very long pool for a small garden with an equally long lawn. The pool surround is made of weathered concrete and adapts to the Mediterranean house with a rustic flair. The narrow backyard can be used perfectly for relaxation, and there is no shortage of pretty greenery.
