Indoor pools in chillier locales can solve the issue of seasonal changes beautifully when situated in a light-filled addition with oversized windows and a wall of sliding doors; these pools allow their owners to enjoy the warm weather during the summer months - or keep cozy when it’s chilly out. Another way to achieve the same goal is to design an indoor pool in a room with folding doors that open up one of the walls completely; these doors can also be closed and even shaded by gauzy drapes when privacy is preferred. Get Creative with Your Materials Acrylic panels have become one of the hottest trends in pool design in recent years. They lend an undeniable “wow” factor to pools and are flexible, durable and easy to repair. Acrylic panels also provide a unique way to bridge your indoor/outdoor space, allowing you to catch a glimpse into the pool from inside the house (and vice versa). Take the transparent look a step further with a full-pool acrylic construction featuring striking enhancements including a waterfall feature and a fire pit (s’mores optional). Lightweight and quicker to install than their concrete counterparts, stainless steel pools are gaining popularity as a preferred material for pool building. They have the benefit of being non-porous and resistant to rust and corrosion - and stainless steel is a smart choice for installations on rooftops and other locations where weight is potentially an issue.
