If you’ve been thinking about installing a custom pool in 2023, you’ll be excited to know that your options for creating a personalized experience are virtually unlimited. Not only are there a wide variety of style options to choose from, but you can also give your space a unique vibe by adding things like decorative tiles, fire and water features, a swim-up bar, and more!

Need some inspiration? You’re in the right place! Check out our round-up of some of 2023’s most popular swimming pool trends.

1. Infinity Ledges

Infinity pools are certainly nothing new, but this year, you’ll see more people integrating infinity ledges into their pool design. One hot trend is to add an infinity ledge to a swim-up bar or built-in spa. Multi-level pools are also extremely popular right now, and there’s no better way to connect the levels than with a spill-over infinity ledge.

2. Elevated Pool Lighting

Modern pool lighting does more than simply illuminate the pool water. Today’s designs focus on incorporating the entire backyard space, using lights to illuminate nearby landscaping, fountains, statues, and more. Adding lights to the surrounding patio or deck can also create an illuminated border around your pool. Want to create a whimsical vibe? Try hanging twinkling lights overhead so they reflect down onto the water at night.

3. Themed Pools

Do you want your backyard space to feel like an upscale resort, a tropical hideaway, or a calming sanctuary? Choosing a theme for your custom pool can help you create a cohesive design. In 2023, many homeowners are taking inspiration from abroad, modeling their pool designs after gorgeous pools seen in places like Las Vegas, Tuscany, or Bali.

Once you have a theme in mind, be sure to discuss it with your custom pool builder. When creating a themed pool details matter, so you’ll want to make sure your pool’s color, tile, landscaping, and features all support your vision.

4. Pool System Automation

Maintaining your new pool shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why many of the pools installed in 2023 will come equipped with a full suite of automation features. This may include the option to turn your pool pump, heater, and lights on and off and adjust them remotely, using your smartphone. Some systems may also be integrated with virtual assistants, allowing you to use voice commands to trigger actions such as turning on the spa jets or adjusting the pool lights.
