Many people dream of owning a swimming pool and enjoying the freedom of taking a refreshing dip whenever they please. However, not everyone necessarily prefers the artificial appearance that many pools have. Fortunately, there are many ways that pool builders can blend your pool in more seamlessly with the plants, hardscaping, and other natural elements on a property. To learn how to create a pool that looks natural, follow these helpful tips.
Consider a Rounded Shape
Sharp lines and corners don’t exactly give off the most natural appearance. To make your pool look more like a small pond or oasis rather than a random rectangle in your yard, consider choosing a pool with rounded corners. You could even install one that has an amorphous blob-like shape for a unique and natural appearance.
Opt for Teal Coloring
Many pools have a bright, aqua blue coloring. While this shade gives them a nice tropical look, it can look a bit artificial in a backyard. Help the pool blend into its surroundings better by painting your pool a deeper teal color. The darker, greenish coloring will make it more closely resemble a small lake, which is ideal for those who want their yard to maintain a more organic, natural feel.
Choose Pebble Tiling
Another tip on how to create a pool that looks natural is to choose pebble tiling. Rather than installing uniform tiles, opting for pebble tiles with a range of different shapes, sizes, and shades will appear more organic. Ultimately, stone pebble tiles will make your pool’s floor look like the bottom of a lake rather than an engineered concrete slab.
Plant Some Greenery
Planting some greenery around your pool can also help it appear more organic. Consider planting some larger, leafy plants along your pool’s edge that will allow it to blend more seamlessly with your yard. Some of the most popular plants for swimming pool landscaping include zebra grass, Egyptian papyrus, fox tail agave, and staghorn ferns.
