Fuse Pool Design & Outdoor Architecture for One Cool Pool

Everyone worries about getting it right. Getting it right is hard, but building a beautiful pool is easy. It’s building the RIGHT pool that’s the challenge. If your pool doesn’t fit the whole scheme of your home it might as well be an inflatable kiddie pool. Building pools is serious business. At Florida Luxury Pools we want to make your vision come true. Sometimes that vision might be a little foggy, and matching the right angles, materials and styles isn’t exactly as easy as it looks. Luckily we know what we’re doing, so here’s a breakdown of what we’ve seen work before. Hopefully, it’ll make the process easier when it comes to making your dream pool a reality.

Art in Simplicity

Attention all homeowners of contemporary, mid-century or otherwise modern style homes! You’re probably wondering what in the world could possibly match with a geometric living space. Well, the first step in the process of picking your luxury pool design is deciding whether to embrace contrast or resemblance. Both can be subjectively flattering or unflattering, and sometimes less is more. A perfect pool doesn’t have to be elaborate by any means. If you own a contemporary home, you will always want to match simplicity with simplicity. The architecture of these houses is all about angles, so naturally, you’ll want a pool with angles. A clean rectangular fiberglass pool will do. If you want your pool to preserve its character while still being simple, you can add extra angels. This can give off a sharp mod look if that’s what you’re going for. It can be tempting to add some curvature, water features or other fancy additions, but contrast is very noticeable and awkward when dealing with contemporary design. Instead, spice up these types of pools with landscaping.

When to Show Curves

Ranch style houses, farmhouses and even Colonial houses are among the most traditionally designed houses you’ll find. There are plenty of these in Jacksonville, and chances are if you looked into the backyards of these houses you’d see a large variety of styles, often with curves. The beauty of these traditionally designed houses is the structure and unity of the architecture. A curvy pool can break the monotony of the structured lines of your home while also highlighting its beauty. Try checking out a freeform, organically shaped fiberglass pool. The contrast between shapes wonderfully compliments the whole pool.

Attention to Detail

Once you’ve got the shape down, you have to figure out what you want to build it out of. This may seem like a daunting task, but you just need to ask yourself one simple question: What details of my home make up its identity? It could be colors, shapes, materials or pretty much anything, really. Incorporate this into your pool somehow. Your pool is the centerpiece of your backyard. Your guest’s eyes, as well as your own, will immediately be drawn to it. The continuation of the theme flowing from the exterior of your house to your pool will be something to admire. It can make a huge difference in the overall vibe of your entire home.

Water Features

One of the best ways to complete your pool’s presentation is through water features. You might be thinking, “I’m not sure if rocks and waterfalls would work in my backyard.” There are plenty of ways to incorporate water features into your pool that flow with the architecture of your home. While rocks and waterfalls give off a great southwestern feel, almost any material foundation can be used to make a sharp, modern waterfall fit into your scheme. If your house uses a lot of marble and light stones, try using marble as the foundation for your sheer waterfall. If your home is made out of brick, try brick based spillovers for a super elegant look. If you really want to up the ante, check out our Firefalls.

At the end of the day, you don’t need your pool to look like a water park attraction for it to stand out. The worst mistake you can make is to spend a lot of money on something you don’t think will look right when it’s finished. With us on your team, that won’t happen. Everything will work together. This can be easy to get done, but sometimes it’s not easy, and that’s where we come in. Go ahead and ask us how you can incorporate your pool into the style of your home, we can’t wait to help.
