The most popular swimming pool trends of 2020
(5 min read) The summer of 2020 is in full swing and if you are a pool owner you are probably already on the lookout for the popular pool upgrades and renovation ideas. We are well aware that this year has proven to be really challenging for most of us on so many levels, but that is just one more reason to try to embellish it a bit and get the best out of it. So if you want to upgrade your life by upgrading your swimming pool, we won’t judge. This year we are allowed to cut ourselves some slack and be shallow if it makes us happy.
I will start this list with my favorite trend and work my way down to my least favorite. All of these trends are very popular and gorgeous in their own ways, so rating them is a matter of personal preference more than anything else. Your pool, your rules and don’t forget to have fun once your upgrade is done! (it rhymes! omg, I’m a rapper now *insert Snoop Dog champagne-cheering gif here)
1. Pool mosaic art
The best upgrade you can add to your pool is definitely a hand-crafted mosaic finish. Nothing will increase the aesthetic value of your swimming pool quite like a fine mosaic artwork. Whether you opt to go for sea life or tribal-inspired design, or for something wild and cartoonish, your swimming pool will end up being one of a kind. Mosaic artwork never loses its charm or goes out of style, not to mention that it doesn’t require any special maintenance and its intricacy always sparks interest wherever it is featured. So, if you haven’t done that already, treat your pool with some gorgeous mosaic artwork this year!
2. Smart lighting
Smart lighting is becoming more and more popular every year, but it has changed significantly since its first appearance a couple of years ago. Today you don’t have to settle on just one color for your pool area. The technology of lighting has evolved so much, that you can now opt for multicolor lights and you can even control their brightness. Wowing your guests has never been easier!
3. Ledges and bars
Needless to say, now that we are leaving the C-monster behind us, we are all eager to get together with our families and friends. That is probably one of the main reasons why built-in ledges are a huge pool-trend this year. Your pools are no longer just for raft-floating and swimming, but for gatherings as well. Built-in seating areas can be customized to fit any pool, and you can even have barstools and benches incorporated into your swimming pool
4. Seamless pool edges
If you would like your pool to really blend with its surroundings, there is no better solution then the seamless pool edges. While the result is quite breathtaking, I really freak out every time I see this particular type of pool. I mean, if I wanted my pool to be that seamless, I’d go lake-camping or something like that. I like my swimming pool to look like one, thank you very much, but if you’re into seamless edges — go right ahead! I won’t judge. Not out loud anyway…
5. Dark pool hues
Dark swimming pool finishes seem to be all the rage this year. Mimicking the lagoon-type of setting is popular at the moment, so pools all over the world are being remodeled into irregular, rounded shapes with dark green, blue or black finishes. One of the advantages of this particular trend is that the dark tiles retain heat better, so you can save some cash on heating and be trendy with one move. However, 2020 has been gloomy enough already (the understatement of the new century), so I’m not really into this new trend. Forgive me if I want some orange, pink and turquoise in my swimming pool. I’ll pay for the heating, just keep it bright…

And I absolutely love the guitar-shaped pool too! So unique!
These pools are amazing! I can’t wait until we have our own home and we can get creative like this.
Holy cow, those pool mosaics are incredible. I’m starting to fall in love with mosaics more and more after seeing all of the amazing designs on your website. I’m blown away at what can be created with mosaics.
Wow, every one was better than the last. I loved the idea of the seamless pools.

Loggerhead turtle mosaic is my favorite. But I do like the florals, too.
The classic look would be of no less value also.
So many possibilities, with all the beautiful looks available for our pools.
So fun! I just booked a trip to Mexico for December so I am ALL about pools right now!
The pool with the butterfly and the one that looks like the guitar is probably one of my faves.
I love all of these! I want to swim in a pool so badly right now. I never thought about the mosaic in a pool, but what a great idea to switch things up.
Those are some absolutely beautiful pool designs. When I grow up, I hope to have one of those seamless pools in my backyard. But that green with lighting around what looks like an island is what I’d get if I married the Rock.
lmao!!! Well, you know how to get that Island lol…
That guitar one is my favorite! It has me wanting to put an image at the bottom of my pool.
Wow, these are all beautiful – I love the butterfly one… I just wish we had the weather for an outdoor pool!
I have serious pool envy, I wish we had space for a pool in our garden. Absolutely love the mosaics and if we had a pool it would most definitely be on my wishlist.
These swimming pools look absolutely magnificent! I really miss swimming, I hope we could go to one of these pools soon!
i so dream that one day i have a pool – these are stunning
Gosh, these pools are so inviting! For someone who’s been home quarantined for more than a quarter now, I wouldn’t hesitate to immediately take a dip! ?
I live the artistic look of the pools. The nature and art combination is a nice compliment to each other.
Maaan, that butterfly in the pool is the most beautiful mural I have ever seen! I would love to see that in a pool here in Japan!
Loved Seamless edges in the forest.

Butterflies and florals are my favorites. But I’d go with a turtle theme for my pool.

It’s pretty crazy all the types of ways people design pools. I personally like the bar stools up to a bar like thing within the pool. The pools with the endless look or clear walls on a edge give me anxiety.
