2025 Trends

Three months into 2025 and we’re already seeing some exciting trends shaping up in backyard design! Whether you’ve just decided to renovate your backyard or are waiting for your pool installation, these trends will help you create the ultimate backyard escape. From cutting-edge technology to resort-style luxury, here are the top pool trends of the year that you’ll love.

Automation
Connect your pool with your lifestyle. Manage and control your pool, spa, heating requirements and garden lighting from the palm of your hand, in one easy to use app. Use it from the comfort of your couch or while you are on the move. With advanced automation systems like the Pool+ Manager, managing your pool has never been easier. Automation technology is a game-changer, offering convenience and energy efficiency while ensuring your pool is always ready for a swim.

Space Saving Pools
Not everyone has a sprawling backyard, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the benefits of a pool! Space-saving pools like our Alto, Serenity or Paradiso designs are gaining popularity. Designed to maximise smaller outdoor areas whilst not compromising on swim space, these pools provide a perfect balance between functionality and relaxation. Even if you have a large backyard, these pools are popular for people wanting to maintain their existing gardens whilst still getting their dream pool.

Pool/Spa Combos
Why choose between a pool and a spa when you can have both? Pool and spa combinations are on the rise, offering versatility for families who want the ultimate relaxation experience. Whether you want to unwind in warm bubbling water or cool off with a swim, our Resort Series gives you the flexibility to do both. If one of these doesn’t suit your needs, why not also look at our Spillways, these are perfect to add to your pool to create your own pool and spa combo.

Luxury and Resort-Style Features
Who doesn’t love the idea of bringing a resort-style feel into their own backyard? Features like our Aqua Ledge, Spillway Spas and pool length seating are becoming must-haves for homeowners looking to elevate their outdoor space. These additions create the perfect space to lounge, watch the kids play and soak up the sun, making every day feel like a vacation.

Landscaping
The area surrounding your pool is just as important as the pool itself. Whether you’re considering timber decking, pavers, aggregate concrete, or stone, it’s essential to think about aesthetics, landscaping, and long-term maintenance. Sun exposure also plays a key role in your decision, as it impacts plant choices and the materials around your pool; some surfaces absorb significant heat, which can affect your overall pool experience. Thoughtful planning ensures a stylish and functional outdoor space that enhances your pool experience.

Whether its smart pool automation, striking designs, spa add-ons or multi-functional features, these trends are set to redefine backyard living.
