Indoor swimming pool design has evolved significantly over the decades. Gone are the days when pool houses were basic structures, such as simple pine chalets. Today, modern design has redefined what a pool house can be. Origin has been at the forefront of this evolution, collaborating with clients and designing and building pools with the same level of quality and finish as a high-spec home. From custom features to sleek contemporary designs, Origin understands that a pool house is no longer just a place to swim - it's an extension of your lifestyle.
Here are five features essential for elevating your pool house design, functionality, and overall value:
1. Seating Areas for Relaxation and Entertainment
In today’s world, a pool house isn’t just about the pool—it’s about creating a space where you can relax, entertain and spend quality time with your family. A well-designed seating area within your pool house serves as the perfect spot to unwind after a swim or host social gatherings. Comfortable furniture, integrated televisions and sound systems can transform your pool house into a year-round entertainment hub. Whatever the weather, your pool house seating area becomes a sanctuary of relaxation and social connection, tailored to your needs and desires.
2. Dedicated Rooms for Every Need
The modern pool house is far more than a single room. It’s an integrated part of your home where functionality meets luxury. One essential feature is the inclusion of multiple rooms to accommodate your family’s lifestyle. A changing room with shower facilities and toilets is a practical addition. Yoga rooms and home gyms add that custom feel, as do game rooms. Many homeowners also opt for a fully equipped kitchen or wet bar area to elevate their poolside entertainment experience. These additional rooms offer the convenience of fully functional living, whether for hosting guests or watching the kids swim while you relax with a cup of coffee.
3. Tile Colours that Enhance the Pool’s Aesthetic
The choice of tiles for your pool isn’t just about functionality; it’s a key design element that can transform the entire look of the space. The tiles you select will directly impact how the water in your pool looks. Soft brown tiles can create a warm, luxurious atmosphere, giving the water a rich greenish hue, while grey tiles add a sleek, modern touch and make the water appear more blue. At Origin, we offer a wide variety of tiles, ensuring that every pool is uniquely tailored to your aesthetic preferences. Whether you’re aiming for a natural, earthy vibe or a contemporary, cool feel, the right tiles can set the tone for your entire pool house design.
4. Large Format Tiles for a Contemporary Look
Large format tiles are a popular choice in pool design for a truly modern look. These tiles cover large areas with minimal grout joints, creating a sleek, uninterrupted finish. They are cost-effective and easy to maintain. Perfect for both contemporary and minimalist designs, these tiles are ideal for those looking to create a streamlined, elegant space that doesn’t require constant upkeep. With a wide range of finishes and colours available, large format tiles can bring both beauty and functionality to your pool house.
5. A Stunning Feature Wall for Impact
A feature wall in your pool house is an excellent way to add a bold and creative touch. Whether you feature compelling artwork, install an eye-catching patterned design or incorporate natural materials like stone or wood, a feature wall can transform the entire room's atmosphere. It serves as a focal point, elevating the visual appeal of your pool house while allowing you to express your personal style. From abstract designs to nature-inspired elements, Origin will work with you to create feature walls that complement the overall design of your pool house while also showcasing your personal style.
