All About Pools

  When people think about swimming pool construction, they usually picture two extremes: the ruggedness of concrete or the glossy drama of mosaics.  But somewhere between those two sits a solution most homeowners don’t realise is a design powerhouse: PVC liner pools. If your goal is a clean, modern, fully customisable pool without the months-long chaos of heavy construction, liner pools deserve more credit than they get. They’re not “budget alternatives”. They’re strategic design choices especially for villas, compact homes, older pools needing a facelift, and commercial spaces where downtime costs money. Here’s why designers, architects, and practical homeowners are leaning toward liners when planning pool design today. 1. A Clean, Seamless Look No Tile Can Match Tiles look beautiful in photos, but they come with grout lines, uneven textures, and long-term maintenance nobody warns you about. PVC liners are the opposite: smooth, continuous, and uniform from edge to edge. What ...

  Luxury doesn’t always mean it’s grand or loud; sometimes it’s found in small details like a pool that catches sunlight just right or a reflection that blends into the sky. A luxury swimming pool today is a statement of space and mood. It tells a story about the way you live: calm, open, and balanced.  Over the years, the construction of swimming pools has become less about adding something pretty and more about building something personal. The modern pool is for swimming, unwinding, thinking, or simply being. It’s designed to feel like part of your home’s rhythm, not separate from it. Design Philosophy Behind Modern Pools The core of good swimming pool design lies in how naturally it fits its surroundings. It doesn’t need dramatic waterfalls or bright tiles to stand out. What makes it beautiful is how it flows with the space, with simple lines, natural light, and textures that make you feel at ease.  Every great design feels effortless. It draws your eye, but softly. It...

  There comes a time when even the most beautiful pool begins to lose its charm. Cracks start forming, tiles wear out, or the water doesn’t feel as clean as it was before. Renovating an old pool isn’t fixing what’s broken; it’s about reviving its purpose and bringing it up to today’s standards. The right renovation can completely change an outdated structure into a modern, low-maintenance space built for the long run. Here are five practical steps to approach the renovation of an old swimming pool: 1. Structural Assessment and Diagnosis Before any work begins, the pool needs to be checked properly. The base and walls are inspected for cracks or leaks. Plumbing and electrical systems are checked for any wear or outdated components.  Even the alignment of the tiles and the water level is checked to make sure the pool stays stable for years.  This early step helps identify what can be saved, what needs to be replaced, and how to prevent recurring issues once the renovation i...

 An infinity swimming pool is designed to look like the water has no boundaries, almost as if it merges with the horizon. The visual effect is stunning, but what makes it beautiful is also what makes its care a little different. Because water constantly flows over the edge into a lower-level catch basin, the circulation system works harder and needs consistent attention. With regular care and a few habits, your infinity swimming pool can stay clear, balanced, and visually seamless all year round.  Here’s a simple guide for keeping your infinity swimming pool in perfect shape without it feeling like full-time maintenance.  Daily and Weekly Cleaning Infinity pools tend to collect debris near the overflow edge and in the catch basin below. Keeping both areas clean makes a big difference in how the pool looks.  Skim the surface every day, especially near the disappearing edge.  Vacuum once or twice a week so dirt doesn’t settle on the floor.  Clean the catch ba...

 Indoor swimming pools turn ordinary days into something a little special. Think quiet morning laps, an easy unwind in the evening, and a private spa mood whenever you want it. When the pool is planned as a conditioned room, it lifts wellness, sharpens your interiors, and protects long-term value, all without making ownership complicated. Why Indoor Swimming Pools Feel Luxurious Privacy on your schedule: Swim in peace, with no weather drama or street views intruding on the moment. Year-round comfort: Smart HVAC and a dedicated dehumidifier keep the air about 1–2°C warmer than the water, so the room feels cozy and dry instead of foggy. Wellness built in: Low-impact exercise, hydrotherapy seating, and calm lighting make recovery easier and sleep deeper. Architectural drama: Water throws light around in beautiful ways. Reflections add height, texture, and a sense of occasion to the space. Swimming Pool Design Moves That Add Style Treat it as a “room with water”: Align the water axis t...

  What exactly is a free-form pool? A free-form pool is still a pool, it simply trades ruler-straight edges for curves that sit more naturally in a yard. Think coves, shelves, and rounded benches tucked into the outline. The equipment and safety rules don’t change; geometry does. In plain terms, it’s a free shape swimming pool built for lounging and landscape harmony rather than lane lines. How is it different from a geometric rectangle? A rectangle behaves like a track: great for laps, easy for standard covers. A free-form layout behaves like a living room outdoors, zones for kids, a quiet shelf for reading, a tucked corner for a spa. Curves need tighter coping cuts and smarter tiling, which is why decisions on radii, joints, and lighting belong up front. Can you still swim laps? Add a swim jet or carve a straight section; many families do. Who actually benefits from this shape? Homes with narrow or irregular plots. Owners who want to keep a neem tree. Renovators trying to soften ...
