Pool Makeover Ideas For North Dallas Area Homeowners: 3 Trends To Inspire Your Next Pool Renovation or Remodel

This fall’s swimming pool renovation & remodel season is well underway, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning one as we head into the New Year.

As mentioned in my previous post here, pool renovation and remodel projects take extensive planning, preparation and project management in order to come together perfectly, so some advanced thought is never a bad idea when it comes to projects like these.

Also mentioned in that post, is that many projects like these start with a vision – and idea – for a new swimming pool experience.

Whether your pool area is starting to degrade due to wear and tear or age, or you just want a completely different look for future summertime memories, it all starts with a concept of how you want your pool area to look, feel and integrate with the rest of your property.

Without a clear vision, your pool area may not turn out exactly how you want it — something that can be very expensive to correct.

To help you out below are some recent trends we’ve noticed with some pool areas we’ve worked on in the area.

While not everyone wants to go with recent trends, it could help spur some ideas as you reshape your pool area for 2026. 

1. Contrast

As with any outdoor project where you can choose the colors, there’s an unlimited array of choices you can go with when it comes to pool materials.

While you can go with more light blue hues and shades of white for the traditional swimming pool look, many pool owners are opting for more contrast in their color selection.

An example of this would be a very dark shade of blue for the pool interior, matched with white coping and pool deck area. 

This can offer a distinct look, that can be mixed and matched to line up with the architecture of your home and surrounding property.

2. Clean, Sharp, Geometric Shapes

Curves and more rounded shapes have served many pool owners, but recently more geometric, sharp pools have piqued the interest of many local pool owners.

The more angular look for the shape of the pool offers a nice, clean look that matches really well with many home exteriors and backyard areas.

3. Water Features

While water features have been around for some time, lately these have become increasingly popular. 

A calming waterfall or beautiful fountain can cap off and create a completely relaxing, visually engaging pool area.

The beauty of swimming pool areas is that they can be created and designed to almost anything you can imagine.

While these are starting points, there are certainly many more trends and ideas you can start with.

I say it many times here, but your swimming pool is the cornerstone of any backyard area, so take your time when planning out your redesign or remodel so you’ll have the perfect fit for years to come.

With a little help of your local, experienced pool remodeling expert your vision can come to life sooner than you can imagine.
