Choosing the right pool size for your home!

Size does matter when it comes to choosing a pool. It should never be just about maximising the swimming space. More importantly, it’s about maximising the potential of the pool and the surrounding landscape as a whole.

Quite often, people can make the mistake of assuming the bigger the pool, the better. In doing so, they end up with a space dominated by water with not much room left for the surrounding landscape. Now don’t get me wrong, a larger pool can be the way to go, if you have plenty of room. However, with property sizes becoming smaller, not having the right proportion of space around the pool, can result in very low visual appeal and function. This can also equate to little to no return on investment.

The best pools and landscapes are those that have the right balance. Make sure you’ve allowed enough space for other key factors. This includes plantings, pool furniture, and decorative features, which are all crucial to a good outcome. Other items like pool fencing and filtration equipment are also key factors to getting it right.

Careful planning not only helps integrate the pool with the rest of the landscape but also with the home itself. Creating a wish list of all the things you would like to add will give you a better idea of how the space could look and function. It will also give you a much better understanding of the right size pool for your home.
