The Hottest Pool Design Trends of 2025

Pool design in 2025 is all about choice. Whether you’re drawn to sharp lines and modern minimalism or prefer something that feels natural and organic, there’s a trend to suit every taste. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder – and your pool should reflect your personal style, the architecture of your home and the way you like to live.

At the same time, it’s worth thinking ahead. While your pool should suit your lifestyle now, it can also add long-term value to your property. Choosing a design that blends timeless appeal with thoughtful features can make a big difference if you ever decide to sell. Some clients follow one clear aesthetic, while others like to mix and match. Whatever your vision, there’s never been a better time to bring it to life.

Geometric Shapes and Clean Lines

We’re seeing a strong shift towards modern, geometric pools. Clean lines and simple shapes like rectangles and squares are in demand – not just for their visual appeal, but because they work beautifully with contemporary homes. These pools feel refined, elegant and timeless.

Clients love how easy they are to maintain and landscape around. Whether it’s a plunge pool or a full-size lap pool, this style creates a sense of calm and order. Many of our recent builds have embraced this minimal aesthetic, and the result is always stunning.

Natural and Organic Designs

On the other side of the spectrum, some homeowners are leaning into nature. These pool designs mimic natural waterholes or tropical lagoons, with curved edges, rock formations, cascading waterfalls and lush planting around the edges.

We love bringing this style to life – not just for its beauty, but for the way it makes people feel. It’s about creating a backyard escape that feels calm and grounded. These organic pools blend into the landscape, offering something softer and more tranquil.

Infinity Pools and Vanishing Edges

Infinity pools have long been associated with luxury resorts and now they’re becoming a top choice for home builds too. These pools give the illusion that the water stretches out forever, blurring the lines between pool and landscape.

They work especially well on sloping sites or where there’s a view to take in. At Oasis Pool Constructions, we specialise in creating vanishing edge designs that are both visually striking and structurally sound. It’s a feature that adds instant wow factor to any backyard.

Integrated Spas and Water Features

Pools are becoming more than just swimming zones – they’re designed for full-body relaxation. Integrated spas, fountains, jets and spillover edges are being added to elevate the experience.

We build pools with built-in spas that flow seamlessly from the main body of water, creating a layered and luxurious feel. Water features can be modern and minimal, or natural and organic. Either way, they bring sound, movement and elegance into the design.

Dark Interior Finishes

Deep, moody pool interiors are making a big impact this year. Charcoal, navy and deep green finishes are being used in place of traditional pale blue. These darker tones reflect the light differently, creating a more dramatic, sophisticated look.

They also absorb more heat during the day, which can help warm the water naturally. It’s a bold aesthetic, and when paired with the right tile and landscaping, it transforms the whole space.

Beach Entry Pools

A beach entry is exactly what it sounds like – a gentle, sloping entry that mimics walking into the ocean. No steps, no sudden drop. Just a smooth transition from dry ground into shallow water.
These entries are incredibly popular with families and those who want accessibility. They’re safe for kids and great for lounging with your feet in the water. It’s a feature that turns a pool into a resort-style experience, right in your own yard.

Cutting-Edge Pool Technology: Transforming the Swimming Experience

It’s not just how your pool looks – it’s how it works that really counts. Technology has changed the way we use and maintain pools, making the whole experience more convenient, energy-efficient and enjoyable. From smart automation to eco-friendly systems that reduce running costs, today’s pools are packed with clever features designed to make life easier. Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing setup, these innovations can completely transform how you enjoy your pool.

Smart Pool Automation

Smart tech has completely changed the way we manage and enjoy our pools. With mobile apps and control systems, you can now manage your pool’s temperature, lighting, filtration and cleaning from your phone.

We install automated systems that give our clients full control without the effort. Whether it’s scheduling pool cleaning while you’re away or changing the mood with a few lighting adjustments, smart features make the whole experience easier and more enjoyable.

Energy-Efficient Pool Equipment

Energy use is a big concern for pool owners, but technology has come a long way. Variable speed pumps, high-efficiency filters and smart heating systems now use far less energy than older equipment.

We work with clients to install the most efficient systems for their pool size and usage. Solar heating is also growing in popularity, offering a sustainable way to extend your swim season without the spike in power bills.

Saltwater Chlorination Systems

Saltwater pools are a game-changer. They feel softer on the skin, don’t have the same strong chemical smell as traditional chlorine pools and are easier to manage in the long run.
We’ve installed many saltwater systems for clients looking for a gentler, more natural swimming experience. These systems use salt to create chlorine, which means fewer harsh chemicals and a more enjoyable swim.

UV Sanitisation and Ozone Systems

For those wanting to reduce chlorine use even further, UV and ozone systems are the next step. These advanced systems kill bacteria and other contaminants using ultraviolet light or oxygen, leaving the water clean and clear with minimal chemicals.

They’re ideal for those with sensitivities or anyone aiming for the cleanest possible pool environment.

LED Lighting

Lighting has become a big part of pool design. LED lights are energy efficient, long-lasting and highly customisable. You can change colours, set scenes and highlight features, all from your phone or smart system.

Whether you want soft lighting for evening swims or vibrant colours for entertaining, LED lights help set the mood and make your pool the centrepiece it deserves to be.

Sustainability in Pool Design: Eco-Friendly Choices for a Greener Future

Sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a shift in how we think about building and living. More pool owners are looking for ways to enjoy their outdoor space without the environmental cost. Whether it’s saving water, cutting down on power use or choosing materials that last longer and leave a lighter footprint, sustainable pool design is shaping the future. These smart, eco-conscious choices can help reduce costs while doing good for the planet.

Water Conservation

Water is precious, and pool owners are more aware of that than ever. To reduce evaporation, we recommend features like automatic pool covers and shaded designs. Smart irrigation around the pool zone also helps avoid unnecessary water use in the garden. These small adjustments add up over time, saving water and lowering costs.

Energy Efficiency

An energy-efficient pool isn’t just good for the environment, it’s better for your wallet too. We focus on systems that deliver top performance with minimal power draw. That includes solar heating, efficient filtration and LED lighting throughout the pool and surrounds.

We also offer advice on using your equipment more effectively, so you can keep your pool in peak condition without the energy drain.

Sustainable Materials

Eco-friendly design extends to the materials we use. From recycled glass tiles to responsibly sourced stone and decking, we’re always looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of each build.

When it comes to concrete and pool shells, we use materials that are built to last and low in maintenance, helping reduce waste over the life of the pool.

By embracing eco-friendly practices, you’re not only creating a pool that’s kind to the environment but also building a smart investment for your home. Whether through energy-efficient systems or water-saving technologies, your dream pool can be both beautiful and responsible.
