50 Pool Ideas for Custom Homes

Summer is here, and our clients are dreaming of pool ideas for custom homes. A pool or pool and spa combination are often the main attraction for outdoor living spaces in the homes we build. 

To cool down after an intense volleyball match, consider adding a pool to your luxury backyard. It could be a lap pool or simply a recreational place to relax after a long day. Pools add value to your home and to your life. 

Outdoor pools also provide an eye-catching view from inside your home and are perfect for warmer months. Landscaping and patios can be built around the pool to accentuate its features and create a backyard oasis.

It’s easy to understand the appeal of a pool: They can be the center of family fun or a refreshing and peaceful place to relax. And whether it’s sunlight playing on the water or the soft glow of underwater lights in the evening, just the look of a pool is a delight. 

We’re noticing trends like tanning ledges, dark pool interiors, saltwater pools and shallow entries becoming popular pool ideas. See these trends in action in the Winding Cape Way home, a luxury family home in Long Cove.
