Top Pool Design Trends for 2024

What's Shaping Pool Design in 2024

The luxury pool industry is evolving rapidly. Here are the trends we're seeing in Charlotte and beyond.

1. Geometric & Linear Designs

Clean lines and rectangular shapes with architectural precision. Modern homes pair beautifully with geometric pools that create a sleek, resort-like atmosphere.

2. Dark Interior Finishes

Dark pebble and glass bead finishes create a dramatic, lagoon-like appearance. The water appears deeper, richer, and more sophisticated — a striking departure from traditional light blue plaster.

3. Integrated Outdoor Living

Pools are no longer standalone features. Today's designs seamlessly integrate with outdoor kitchens, covered pavilions, fire features, and lounging areas to create complete outdoor rooms.

4. Smart Pool Technology

Automated chemical management, variable-speed pumps, LED lighting control, and app-based monitoring make pool ownership easier and more energy-efficient than ever.

5. Natural & Organic Shapes

Freeform pools with natural stone, cascading waterfalls, and lush landscaping create backyard retreats that feel like private resorts.

6. Sun Shelves & Tanning Ledges

Shallow wading areas (also called Baja shelves) for lounge chairs are one of the most requested features. Perfect for relaxation and supervision of young swimmers.
