Trending Pool Design: Infinity Edge

Are you looking for a sleek and elegant way to design your in-ground poolscape? Searching for something beyond concrete patios or decking options to give your backyard a resort feel? You might be intrigued by the infinity edge in-ground swimming pool design.

Infinity Edge: Why it’s Trending

An infinity edge swimming pool Raleigh NC has one or more edges where water pours constantly over the side of the pool. As you swim, this vanishing edge gives the illusion that the water never ends. This is accomplished by one edge of the pool being up to a quarter-inch lower than the required water level for the pool so that the water spills over the edge into a trough, cycling the water back into the pool.
One of the appealing aspects of an infinity edge swimming pool design is that it shifts attention away from the pool and onto the surroundings. That’s why you’ll frequently see these pools used by high-end resorts. For your backyard, you would want a landscape and outdoor oasis design that keeps with this concept in order for the infinity pool to reach its full visual potential. This also applies to any swimming pool accessories, such as the installation of a slide off to one side so it doesn’t interfere with the view of the beautiful infinite edge.
Another suggestion for an infinity swimming pool and deck design is to incorporate colors from the surrounding landscape into your pool. This also includes the colors of your patio and accessories (such as outdoor furniture cushions) so that the pool automatically appears to be part of the natural environment.
