There are many ways you can enhance the pool to boost its function and add to the outdoor ambiance. If you’re planning a pool construction, consider adding a few features to create a unique swimming area.

Interesting Features to Add During a Pool Construction

1. Decorative Coatings

A decorative coating is placed over your concrete to add interest by incorporating color and texture. Make your pool look like a grotto by using a natural stone covering, or add elegance by stamping the floor to make it look like travertine tile. The texture will elevate the overall design and add a slip-resistant feature to enhance safety.

2. Water Features

These features make the pool more interesting to look at and provide a soothing sound of trickling water. If you live in a loud area, like a residential neighborhood with a lot of traffic, water features will drown out unwanted noise from passing cars and mopeds. If you want to incorporate large features, like a waterfall or fountain, make sure your pool construction plans include the necessary underground pipework.

3. Lighting

Lighting creates a nighttime ambiance for night swimming or throwing evening parties at the poolside. Up-lighting is installed on the ground with a beam pointed upward to highlight features, like trees and elegant waterfall rock formations. Underwater pool lights can be made with LED or fiber optic bulbs, and they’ll add color and drama to the space.
