Just like with residential architecture and interior design, pool design sees many trends come and go year after year. In 2025, homeowners will be favoring luxurious pool designs with functional features that elevate both the look and experience of their custom pools. When you embark on a pool constriction project in 2025, consider the following pool design trends that we’re ready to embrace here at Cimarron Circle Construction.
Baja Shelves
Also called tanning shelves or lagoons, Baja shelves are becoming a much more popular pool feature for residential pools. They offer a place to relax and lounge while still enjoying the water. With Tucson’s sweltering summer heat, you may find it hard to work on your tan during the summer months. With a built-in lagoon, you will be able to soak in the water while tanning and sipping on your favorite poolside beverage. Baja shelves are about 7-12 inches deep and large enough to house a few lounge chairs for built-in relaxation.
Sustainable Features
Energy-efficiency is becoming a leading consideration for homeowners designing their custom pools. Features like solar heating, smart pool pumps, and LED lighting will all reduce the energy consumption of your pool without compromising performance.
Artistic Lighting
A luxury pool is like a work of art, so it should be well lit to highlight its most beautiful features. Pool lighting should not only be functional, but it should create a welcoming ambiance and warmth to your pool and the surrounding space. Spotlights on key landscaping features, colored LED panels inside the pool, and ample lighting along your pool decking and walkways will make your pool as beautiful in the nighttime as it is during the day. 2025 will bring more outdoor lighting choices, allowing you to fully customize your custom pool lighting design.
In-Pool Fire Features
Fire pits have long been a popular feature for backyards, but 2025 is likely to see more fire features being integrated directly into pool designs. Fire bowls paired with waterfalls or fountains can create a stunning focal point for your pool design with a modern flair.
Infinity Spas
If you want to add a spa to your custom pool design, consider the infinity spa design to create a seamless flow from your spa to your pool. Infinity spas or rim flow spas create the illusion that water is cascading from the spa to the pool.
