169 - Simple Backyard Pool with Waterslide

Atlas Pools Of Central Florida

LAYERED EFFECT - DRUMMOYNE

Alex

This pool and garden design in Drummoyne needed a complete overhaul to realise its obvious potential. It was a large space but practically unusable given the small paving area adjacent to the house as well as a sloping lawn and pinched pool area. We decided to create three distinct levels or layers within the garden to maximise the use of each outdoor space. The lower level was given to outdoor entertaining with a covered louvered pergola and in-built seating. The middle layer was to be a large level lawn for the kids and dogs to play. The upper layer is now the pool level incorporating a decking seating area and Travertine paving. The layers have been linked together with the use of materials from the beautiful sandstone retaining walls, through the decking and the travertine paving. The planting is a vibrant mix of foliage and flowers creating interest and screening in equal measure. Garden lighting extends the use of the garden and can be enjoyed even when not using the space by highlighting the feature plants and features.

Dream Coast Builders

Imagine stepping into a coastal paradise, where the beauty of the beach meets the elegance of a carefully designed home. Our Houzz project seamlessly blends these elements to create a stunning beach home that captures the essence of outdoor living and indoor luxury. As you approach the house, you're greeted by a chic glass door that invites you to explore a world of breathtaking design. The brick flooring outdoors sets the stage, adding rustic charm and a sense of history to the entryway. A welcoming doormat offers a glimpse of the home's character, hinting at the beachy vibes that await within. Once inside, the white walls create a canvas of tranquility, allowing your mind to drift to the nearby shoreline. The ceiling light fixture, like a showpiece, casts a warm and inviting glow, setting the mood for relaxation. In the living area, carpeting adds softness and comfort underfoot, while the lounge chairs outdoors beckon you to unwind in style. These outdoor seating areas are strategically placed to provide captivating views of the beautiful swimming pool, which is both a refreshing escape and a work of art in itself. The pool is surrounded by lush outdoor plants, creating an oasis of greenery that seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings. Moving to the interior, you'll find marble flooring that exudes opulence and elegance. This choice of flooring complements the beach home's high-end aesthetic, offering both beauty and practicality. The large glass doors and window blinds connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing you to bask in the natural beauty of your surroundings while enjoying all the comforts of home. It's a design that reflects the harmony of coastal living and contemporary luxury.

Round Pool Design Ideas

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
