Swimming pool builders have been busy with all of these great new design features, and we’re sure that after taking a look at our article, you’ll get a burst of inspiration that you can use to work with your custom pool builders in The Woodlands TX and achieve the landscaping of your dreams! 

While it’s totally possible to have a swimming pool installation without a spa, it’s increasingly popular for spas and pools to be integrated in their designs. Not only that, having the additional option of a spa can add that extra layer of completion and total comfort that you’ve been looking for in your home. 

Let’s take a look at 5 amazing pool and spa design ideas that you’ll want to get working on right away. 

Geometric Pool Design

Geometric pool designs are noted by swimming pool builders in The Woodlands as some of the most popular and prominent design selections. They are typically defined as pools and spas that have sharp lines and are in formations such as square, rectangles, or ovals, with straight edges. 
If you’re looking for a more contemporary or sophisticated feel for your pool, a geometric design may be exactly what you need. 

There are so many different ways that you can customize your geometric pool and spa design; you can use reflective tile or color schemes and lighting that adds a unique vibe; you can also add a waterfall feature or include in-pool bar stools that enhance the geometric look of your pool. 

Geometric pools combined with special add-on features give a very interesting and chic, almost artistic, look. Work with your pool builders to create a unique and creative geometric pool design that will give your home contemporary flair and elegance. 

Integrated Spa and Disappearing Spa 

A disappearing spa can be an incredible conversation piece and a great way to make your backyard pool area one-of-a-kind. 

A disappearing spa is basically a pool and spa design that is integrated in the sense that the spa will disappear into the main design of the pool, creating a look as if it were all part of the same water. 

There are different ways that this can be incorporated; technology could be used to actually hide certain elements of the spa such as pathways or edges, which is a super unique design feature. 

More commonly, integrated spas create a very seamless look; if you don’t want a very separated look for your pool design and want everything to flow into each other, having an integrated or disappearing spa is a good choice. 

The pool shape can vary with these types of spas, and you can also include a water feature such as a waterfall or fountain for added elegance. Talk to your local pool installers at The Woodland Pool Builders to get more information about disappearing spas and integrated spas. 

Pool with Spillover Spa

This is also a homeowner favorite because it creates a type of waterfall look and can add soothing sounds and visuals to the pool and spa design. 

A pool with a spillover spa is basically a spa that is built with a special design which allows an overflow of water from the spa into the pool. While your swimming pool builders in The Woodlands will know all the precise measurements, this function basically works through the alignment of the spa overflow with a spillway. There are even some designs that use piping or funnels to flow the water out. This can be a nice and relaxing combination of pool and spa design that will be fun for the kids and calming for the adults. 

Detached Pool and Spa

If you feel like you may want two semi-separate areas or want to give the spa some of its own quiet time, you could opt for a detached pool and spa design. 

There are many different scenarios in which this could benefit you, such as if you have a large, open backyard space and want to have a more separate feel for the pool or spa area. 

When working out the details of your swimming pool construction, make sure that you select building materials that align with the spa design as well, so that there will be cohesive design elements throughout your property. 
Unifying features can also be things like a patio, barbeque or fire pit, or natural garden area; these features will help pull the design together and create a pleasing ambiance. 

Lighting will also help to play in the different areas and make sure that it all looks cohesive and visually pleasing.
 
Lagoons and Natural Pool Design

Also an increasingly popular option, who wouldn’t want their backyard to feel like a tropical paradise? Who wouldn’t love to have a natural wonder in their backyard, complete with flowing water fountains and a combo pool and spa? 

These lagoon-style pools and natural designs are popular because they allow people to feel as though their backyard is their own oasis. 

Typically, these pools have a natural or freeform pool shape, which helps it to feel more naturally-occurring and not so manmade. 

In addition to the natural shape, features such as rocks, grottos, waterfalls, and lighting elements are commonly added to give it an even more unique and exotic feel. Sometimes, people go so far as to include a waterslide or fire features in their swimming pool construction! 

Woodland Pool Builders are no strangers to the lagoon and natural pool design style, and we love working on this type of pool design and construction. It’s great fun, and to see the final transformation from beginning to end is epic. 

A lagoon or natural pool and spa design will without a doubt leave the whole family in awe of the new pool.
