Here are the focuses on this year’s trends: ready?

Pool: discover the 2021 trends

Italians have never dreamed so much of having a pool and more and more are making their dreams come true. Even the price of pools is attracting an audience: previously, building a pool would cost between 35,000 and 45,000 euros; today the price ranges from 18,000 to 22,000 €, and above-ground pools, which are more affordable, are also on the rise.

Everyone is trying to cool off, even on a limited budget; the demand is shifting towards shallow pools and aesthetics are becoming increasingly important. The blue lining is being replaced by sand color or gray, especially in modern homes.

So what is the pool like in 2021? What are the trends and innovations that make this outdoor solution increasingly attractive? Let’s take stock.

A mini pool

This is the big trend right now, especially if your garden is medium-sized. The advantage is that no building permit is required if it does not exceed certain sizes, and even specialists have adapted to this new demand, with models that change according to the size of the garden.

An increasingly connected pool

Home automation, which allows you to automate and program home functions, also extends to pools. With its new technologies, you can control the water quality, turn on the heat pump, activate the lighting, and control the filtration system. Incredible!

Increasingly eco-friendly pools

The theme of environmental sustainability has become increasingly “hot” over the past year, and pools are no exception to these concerns. Treatments are indeed becoming more eco-friendly, and heat pumps more efficient and economical.

There have been many advances since the 1990s, especially in heat pumps or LED lighting. Products are also cheaper and more eco-friendly than those of the past, and landscape architecture still demands a completely green focus.

The infinity pool

It makes you dream with its aesthetics and its view of the sea, mountains, or a lake. The infinity pool is also increasingly in vogue; the water flows gently with a slightly muffled sound that evaporates into the landscape… But remember that in terms of price, here we enter the high-end range.

The disappearance of diving boards

The latest trend in luxury pools reveals a push towards a return to simplicity: there is a strong desire to create aquatic retreats that see the pool as an integral part of a home’s architecture or a cohesive element of the landscape.
With the disappearance of diving boards, pools are also becoming shallower and increasingly serve as a social gathering place.
