Patio pools can be transformed into cohesive, multi-purpose spaces that offer more than swimming by combining beauty and functionality. Matching paving materials and pool finishes creates harmonious colour relationships, such as using limestone around an aquamarine-finished pool. Incorporating a pool house with kitchen, dining and sunken seating extends outdoor living and anchors the garden. Thoughtful planting should complement local stone colours while adding pops of colour. Careful selection of paving, planting and screening can make a pool feel either the main garden feature or a secluded retreat. Small design decisions amplify usability and visual impact of pool patios.
The best patio pool ideas transform a standard rectangle of blue into a cohesively designed multi-purpose space for you to enjoy in addition to your swim. Combining beauty and functionality, customising your poolside area to suit your personal taste means you get the most out of it. There are lots of tricks to make the most of your chosen swimming pool ideas so you can celebrate your poolscape, whether it's the main event in your garden design or a tucked away asset that feels like a secluded retreat.
Will chose Buscot Limestone with a tumbled and etched finish, which was also used for the relaxation areas. "The clients had decided on a finishing material on the inside of the pool to create an aquamarine water colour, and we wanted to mimic that with the stone used around the swimming pool," he explains. The patio planting ideas were designed to complement the stone in the garden too.
