Pool design options

In country or private houses, swimming pools are no longer a rarity. They are for children - small and shallow, for adults - connected to a sauna or bath. They are set up under a roof or in the air, next to a gazebo where you can relax after swimming.

What the design of the pool will be should be thought not at the stage of finishing work, but at the stage of planning construction. After all, firstly, the final price depends on which method is chosen for the decor, and secondly, it is necessary to take into account not only what the appearance of the pool will be, but also how realistic it is to create such a design in the proposed conditions - a room, temperature conditions, etc.

The design begins with the selection of the design of the entire pool. - the "picture" that the owner wants to see as a result. If before the owner had no experience in building and decorating the pool, then it is better to use ready-made solutions. This will help visualize the desired result, presenting it in the smallest detail, and will also help guide those who will be involved in construction and decoration.

The pool can be indoor or outdoor. The first is located inside the premises, the second is outside, that is, in Russian realities it can be used only in the summer. As for the indoor one, you can swim in it at any time of the year.

The location of the pool bowl is a very important aspect of construction. It is best if it is possible to place it not lower and not higher than the first floor. Of course, original design solutions provide for the placement of reservoirs everywhere - from a balcony to a roof, but one should not lose common sense, but think about a rational and expedient location. It is also not recommended to place a pool in the basement, as additional high-quality ventilation is needed.

It is necessary that the room is well heated, the bowl must also be thermally insulated, since the basements are usually cool. Besides, groundwater very often flows much closer to the surface than it seems at the initial stage of construction... This can cause difficulties both for the construction and for the operation of the building.

When choosing a ceiling design, you should opt for a stretch canvas. This is a very practical design, not subject to deterioration from constant exposure to moisture, it is easy to maintain. The canvas is quite simple to mount and dismantle. A suspended ceiling is also suitable, but only on a stainless steel frame. Wooden frames quickly deteriorate due to high humidity in the room.

The walls should be finished not only with beautiful, but also high-quality material that is protected from fungal infection, mold, and rust. It can be a surface covered with water-repellent paint, glass, ceramic tiles, natural or artificial stone. Only wood that is impregnated with a moisture-proof antifungal compound is acceptable.

Modern home pools are characterized by the use of different types of bowls.The shape of the bowl depends on how the pool will look in the end. The bowl can be round or oval. Traditional shapes have the advantage of being easier to decorate. You can use two contrasting colors: most often they are white and black or blue and orange. The bowl can have an unusual shape, for example, drops, waves, any other shape. The layout of the room is directly related to the presence of curves and bends in the pool.

The size of the pool depends on several factors:

• the area of ​​the room in which it is located;
• the function that the room performs;
• the number of people who will swim at the same time.

Another unusual way to design a pool is to create a difference in depth. One part is shallower, while the other is much deeper. If the owner wants the pool to have a non-standard shape, then there can be only one way out - digging a pit of the appropriate shape and pouring concrete into the bottom and walls. If the shape is not critical, a collapsible design or a stationary propylene bowl is also suitable.

In the courtyard of the summer cottage, it is quite possible to equip a small pool (or a large one, if the size of the site allows). The garden pool can be of any size, shallow for children or deeper for adults, equipped with a jacuzzi or slide. Its cost depends on how expensive materials and finishes were used for its equipment. Standard shapes for garden pools are rectangle, circle, oval. It can also be any other form, but it will cost much more. Finishing materials also differ in both price and quality.

Before starting the installation, you need to choose what type, shape and color the pool will be, where it will be located, what type of soil is on the site, and much more. If the soil is of a clay type, waterproof walls for the pool are needed. Otherwise, it will quickly lose its original appearance and quality. It is equally important to choose a place for the pool on the street, since it should not be located either in the open sun, or in full shade, or near trees from which foliage will fall and pollute the water.

Once the location is selected, you can start working on the drawing project. It is better if this is done by professionals who will develop it very accurately, correctly and in accordance with the wishes of the client. It is important to think not only about the pool, but also about what will be around it - a recreation area, a path lined with stone or mosaics, or something else. It is advisable if the landscape design is designed in the same style, and the reservoir does not begin to knock out of it.

The most budgetary option would be an inflatable pool. It is easy to transport, install, it can be easily moved from place to place, it is available in a large number of colors, sizes and styles. It is ideal for bathing children. But if you need something more weighty, you will have to dig a pit.

Frame pools are comfortable, puncture-proof, and can be equipped with a jacuzzi or hydromassage. They are also not afraid of temperature drops. At the bottom of such a device is a layer of waterproofing.

Concrete pools are installed only by professional masters. This design has many advantages - you can install additional systems, for example, lighting, hydromassage, heating. But the concrete bowl requires frequent cleaning, this must also be remembered.

Indoor swimming pools are usually not designed with overly bright colors. Most often these are simple and laconic forms, a neutral range of shades and bright accents of color. After all, the purpose of the pool is, first of all, swimming and relaxation, which means that not only the body, but also the eyes should rest.

Oriental style is popular in the design of this zone. All surfaces are kept in one shade, the minimum amount of details is acceptable and the presence of contrasting "spots" - armchairs or sun loungers.

Dark gray granite and wood-trimmed ceilings and tops of the walls are another favorite combination of designers.

White pools are just as popular as the classic blue ones. Mosaic walls or ceilings are suitable for such color schemes. If suspended or stretch ceilings are used, photo printing looks beautiful, provided that the rest of the finish is monochromatic.

As for outdoor pools in the country, it is necessary that their color and style design is also practical and does not violate the overall design of the landscape. It is important that the area near the pool is not slippery, not too hot in the sun, and does not swell with moisture. A good solution is a natural stone path, but it will not be cheap. Decking made of boards treated with a special compound against fungus and moisture will be a good substitute. If the choice fell on ceramic tiles, you should choose one that is resistant to low temperatures.

As for the style solution, a country house and landscape in most cases implies some kind of relaxation, so it is better to choose natural materials, simple clear lines, and a neutral color scheme.

Photo printing on the ceiling is a great solution.

Stone walls add mystery and chic.

The classic combination is wood and granite.

Illumination is an important design detail for this pool.
