When your contractor installs your pool, you’ll have a private place to swim, escape from the world, cool down, and socialize with family and friends. Summer is here, and if you’re thinking about hiring a pool construction professional this season, there are many trends you may want to consider to liven up your outdoor space.

Pool Construction Trends for Summer 2019

1. Swim-Up Bars

If you want to replicate the resort experience at home, incorporate a swim-up bar where guests can sip cocktails and dine on pupus in the water. Your contractor can create a design that incorporates in-water barstools and a customized ledge that serves as a bar. This feature elevates your pool and makes the outdoor area a prime location for entertaining family and friends.

2. Smart Lighting

Smart lighting can be controlled via mobile apps, allowing you to adjust its features at the quick touch of a button. The lights are available in a wide range of hues, allowing you to have a lighting scheme that complements your outdoor design. Additionally, some lights are equipped with dimming capabilities, creating a moody ambiance for evening get-togethers.

3. Dark Finishes

Ask your contractor about the possibility of adding a dark finish to the pool’s surface. This gives the pool a dramatic appearance and, more importantly, absorbs heat better than lighter colors. Since the sun drenches your pool with intense heat, you can take advantage of the natural warmth to heat your pool, keeping your utility costs down.
