If you're getting ready to take the plunge and build a pool this year, it can be overwhelming to choose between so many types, styles and layouts. Most types of pools are completely customizable, allowing you to make a splash with your design choices. From the colors to the lighting and the materials, you can design a pool that matches your style and instantly calms you every time you look at your water view.

Here's everything you need to know about the top pool trends to make your outdoor oasis feel sleek and modern this summer.

1. Pool Finishes That Change the Color of Water

There are a lot of natural factors that can change the appearance and color of the water in your pool. The water will look different first thing in the morning compared to later in the afternoon because of how the sun hits the surface. Additionally, landscaping around the pool can cast shadows on different parts of the water to change the overall color, and even the deep end is likely to have a hue that varies from the shallow side.

One way to change the water's appearance is to choose a pool finish with a unique hue. Traditionally pool interiors and liners were either white or blue. However, you no longer need to limit yourself to just those two colors to achieve your perfect pool.

If you want water that looks bright blue and bold, choose a light grey liner.

For blue water that is translucent or crystalline, go with an interior tile or liner that's pale blue or shades of white.

Accent the natural design of your pool with green, tan or brown colors that will create soft green tones in the water

For a deeper blue, choose a dark blue liner or tile.

Dreaming of a turquoise pool? Beige or cream interiors reflect the light to create turquoise water.

For an unexpected choice that has gorgeous results, go with black. If your pool has a modern or contemporary design, a black interior will create a mirror effect on your pool and makes the water look reflective.

2. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Designs

When it comes to the construction, the chemicals and the maintenance, designing the pool of your dreams doesn't have to be a drain on the planet. The latest pool trends make it easy and affordable to design a water feature using sustainable practices and materials to minimize environmental impact.

During the planning and construction of the pool, choose materials that are eco-friendly, recycled or locally sourced. From the materials in the pool to the fencing and furniture that surround it, there are plenty of eco-friendly options to choose from.

Look for energy-efficient selections when choosing lighting inside and outside of the pool. Solar-powered and rechargeable fixtures are great to start. When it comes to cleaning and filtering the water, opt for systems that require less energy to power.

You can also harness the sun when you're heating the pool. Skip the heating systems that raise your electricity bill and instead use solar covers and solar panels to keep the water at the perfect temperature.

Don't let the name fool you, the shallow entry design of a tanning ledge—also known as a sun shelf—offers plenty of entertainment and options for adults and kids. So while you can use this feature as a spot to relax and work on your tan, the benefits of a tanning ledge go beyond just catching a few rays.

For families with young children, tanning ledges offer babies and toddlers a place to splash and play without having to be fully submerged in the pool. It also gives little ones an easier entryway since pool steps can be difficult for young swimmers.

Tanning ledges can also be large enough for several pool-friendly lounge chairs to be partially submerged in the water, and umbrella stands can be incorporated into the design of the tanning ledges. Just imagine relaxing on a shaded lounge chair in your pool. It's like having a resort in your backyard.

4. Multiple Lighting Features

Just because the sun goes down doesn't mean the fun has to stop. The latest trends in pool lighting offer better visibility inside and outside of the water in addition to making the space more inviting so it's perfect for those late-night splash parties.

Underwater LED lights give off a soft glow that allows swimmers to see all angles and sides of the pool while they swim.

Floating lights add fun and function to the pool at night. From glowing orbs to flatdisks, many of these soft lights can be controlled by an app on your phone. Depending on your mood, you can change up the color and brightness as well.

In-ground lighting creates dramatic contrasts with shadows. They can be installed around the pool's perimeter or along a fence or landscaping line around the pool.

Solar lighting is an eco-friendly option that can accent special elements of your pool like water fountains or unique tile work.

Traditional perimeter and path lighting now comes in a variety of sizes and styles. No matter your budget or design, there are lighting options that will work for you.

5. Simplicity in Design

The clean lines and simple design trends that we're seeing pop up again and again inside homes are are being replicated for pools. Instead of oversize pools with rounded and freeform edges as well as massive rock and stone features, more homeowners are opting for pools that are streamlined and square. They no longer take over the entire outdoor space.

Not only are these minimalist pools easier to maintain, but they also create a calming aesthetic that can complement any type of backyard landscaping.

6. Non-Standard Depths

When it comes to depth, usually one side of the pool is shallow and the other is much deeper. However, new designs feature unique depths that work according to the homeowner's specific lifestyle.

All sides of the water can be the same depth with the deepest point at the center of the pool. However, if your family consists of serious swimmers, it's possible to create a pool with a uniform water height throughout. For another design idea, extend the tanning ledge to every side of the pool for more space to lounge in shallow water.

While outdoor fire features, like fireplaces and different varieties of fire pits, tend to be located on patios and decks, the latest pool design trends put fire and water together. Both elements add dramathat can elevate the look and feel of your pool. Whether you are looking for some added ambiance, warmth and lighting for nighttime swims, or a place to roast a few s'mores, there are plenty of ways to incorporate both fire and water features into your overall design.

Designing A Pool That Makes A Splash

A pool is the ultimate amenity—instantly turning the backyard into your own personal retreat. And depending on the design, it can elevate your space to an inspired oasis.

"A pool enhances the aesthetic appeal and visual grandeur," said Mark Bittoni, founding principal of Bittoni Architects in Los Angeles. "Pools also provide a focal point for outdoor living and entertaining, extending the usable space of the property."

For ideas on pool designs that sync with your style, follow these ideas from the design pros.

Shape the Design

"The shape of the pool needs to respond to the architecture of the home and its surroundings.

Geometric shapes, such as rectangular or square pools, often exude a sleek and modern aesthetic. Freeform or curvilinear pools can add a more organic and artistic touch. What's more, the reflectivity of the water can bring the sky into focus, frame a view or create a feeling of infinite space.

"When it comes to landscaping, complement the architectural style of the home and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. It should provide privacy, shade and a sense of tranquility. Choosing low-maintenance plants, incorporating water features and ensuring proper drainage are also important considerations.

"Lighting is a crucial aspect of pool design in a luxury home. Thoughtful placement of lighting fixtures can create a captivating ambiance, highlight architectural features and ensure safety around the pool area."

Strike a Balance

"When choosing materials, consider their ability to be waterproof and non-porous. Prioritize materials that offer slip-resistant surfaces, particularly in areas prone to high foot traffic or water splashing, to enhance overall safety and comfort.

"Striking a balance between shade and sunlight is crucial for ensuring comfort and enjoyment, allowing for both relaxation and protection from excessive exposure. The pool's orientation in relation to the sun can ensure efficient heating and energy efficiency.

"Utilize lighting to accentuate water features, such as fountains, waterfalls or underwater elements, as well as the surrounding landscaping, to enhance the visual appeal and create a captivating focal point."

Create Continuity

"A pool can be its own piece of art. We always tell homeowners they don't need a traditional deep end unless they have young kids; adults typically use pools to relax.

"Think about what blends with the surrounding environment and doesn't distract the eye from the pool itself. You don't want an abrupt change in material unless you are stepping down. If you are using stone, consider other moments of exterior stone at your home. Using the same material that's by the door, for instance, is always great for flow and continuity.

"Consider how the pool material interacts with the materials and colors on the inside of the house. Eased edges or tumbled edges should be considered for kids and give a more relaxed feeling than sharp edges. Waterline tile should be in the color family of the plaster: clean and less complicated will stand the test of time."

Take Views into Account

"A pool is a significant investment, so it's best to select materials that are timeless to avoid an expensive renovation in the near term. An uncomplicated, traditional shape is an excellent starting point. Additions to the basic shape, such as an in-pool sundeck should build on that initial shape. It's more elegant to have a singular grand gesture rather than several smaller details; stadium stairs that run the entire width of a pool are a great example.

"The finest pools always take advantage of the best views on the property—there's nothing like swimming with a vista. For example, at one of our recent projects, The Huron, the windows are nearly full height, which takes advantage of the stunning views of the Manhattan skyline.

"The landscaping should complement the pool, if the pool is an ornate shape, the landscaping can be minimal and elegant. If the pool is quite simple in nature, and there is ample space, then it is always nice to landscape the perimeter."

Color Sets the Vibe

"While it can be beautiful to tile your entire pool with mosaics, most pools are finished in variations of plaster. It can be smooth and matte or include glass or stone aggregate for a more curated feel. The color of the pool plaster has the biggest effect on water color, which will define the overall vibe. Looking for a tropical feel? Choose a lighter plaster that results in a vibrant bright blue for the water. Looking for a lush, shaded retreat? Try a darker plaster that creates rich, deep blue water.

"It can be beautiful and functional for grass to come up to the edge of the coping for a pool that is sitting directly in the landscape. Be mindful of the placement of the pool near trees—leaves or flowers often blow into the pool, increasing the maintenance, and the trees can create desired (or undesired) shade.

"We love the pool to feel like an extension of the outdoor space of the home. Connected to a patio, near an entrance to the house, or next to an outdoor kitchen are all conducive to creating opportunities for gathering."

—Emily Kettlewell AIA, project architect, and Catherine Craig AIA, project manager, of Sanders Architecture in Austin, Texas
