The new year is already in full swing and it’s time to look ahead at some of the trends we think will be huge in 2024. As your outdoor living specialists, we make sure to stay in tune with the current trends to help you create beautiful, on-trend spaces!

Pool Trends:

Pool Finishes that Change the Appearance of Water Color

When it comes to your home or commercial space’s landscaping, you obviously want it to look beautiful while benefiting your space in a way that aligns with its specific needs. Sometimes, beautiful spaces require a lot of upkeep to maintain. However, choosing more eco-friendly options can cut down on the amount and type of labor and maintenance you need! Eco-friendly and sustainable landscapes often focus on using plants native to the environment. Native plants attract native pollinators and insects, which play an important role in the upkeep of a healthy ecosystem. When the ecosystem is healthy, your landscaping will benefit greatly - with little to no work on your end!

Tanning Ledges/Sun Shelfs

A tanning ledge or sun shelf in a pool is a very shallow shelf in the pool designed for you to be in and enjoy the water without needing to swim or be completely submerged. People usually use these ledges or shelves to relax and tan or give children a shallow place to splash and play. Some pool owners even opt to make their tanning ledges large enough for pool-safe furniture to be partially submerged - giving you a luxury resort feel in the comfort of your own home!

Simplistic Designs

In the last few years, clean lines and minimalism has been huge in interior design trends. This year, we think that this simplistic approach will translate into pool design as well! It sounds simple, but we predict that streamlined square and rectangular pools will be all the rage this year. Along with simpler pools themselves, we could see the outdoor living spaces around the pool to be more minimalist as well. This not only creates a “clean” aesthetic, it also creates less work for you as the homeowner!

Natural Elements

A pool is your own personal oasis and the space surrounding it should reflect that. Lush, green space can transform your pool into the perfect escape. Natural elements, such as stone, woodwork, and green landscaping will help to create a beautiful yet natural feeling escape.

Stunning Nightscapes

When you build your dream pool, you’ll want to be able to enjoy it 24/7! In 2024, we predict that the look of your pool and pool area at night will be a big focus. From immersive LED lighting to poolside firepits, creating a space with beautiful ambiance to be enjoyed during the day and at night is sure to be popular this year!

Smart Pools

Tech is everywhere - even in your pool! Smart tech can help make owning a pool convenient and worry-free. Smart pools can anticipate your needs by auto adjusting pool temperature, managing lighting, and even monitoring pool filtration systems.

Landscaping Trend Predictions:

Eco-friendly and Sustainable Landscaping

We started to see the rise of eco-friendly and sustainable landscaping in 2023 and we believe that it will still continue to be prioritized this year! By using native plants and being more intentional about what fertilizers to use, you can create a beautiful space more responsibly.

Vibrant Colors

When it comes to your outdoor space, you may want it to stand out and truly look and feel like a backyard oasis! Choosing bright, colorful plants and flowers can help you achieve this 2024 trend.

Contrasting Color Pavers

Create some eye-catching interest and contrast by using different colored pavers in your landscaping. Playing with the colors of your pavers can not only add a unique element visually, but can also tie in other aspects of your space!

Low Maintenance Landscapes

When you lead a busy lifestyle and can only see the new year getting busier, it’s easy to let your landscaping become a low priority. That’s why we predict that low maintenance landscaping is going to be huge this year! By choosing plants, such as evergreen shrubs and easy to care for grasses, you can make your landscape beautiful with minimal effort.

Night Spaces

We already mentioned that night spaces will be huge for pools and poolside spaces, but we think this trend will also apply to your landscaping! Strategic lighting on raised garden beds and beautifully lit outdoor living areas will transform your backyard into a 24/7 hangout spot.
