Top Five Residential Swimming Pool Design Trends for 2025

As outdoor living continues to evolve, swimming pools are becoming more than just a summer amenity—they’re central to backyard design. At Mystic Pools, we’re helping homeowners throughout Tallahassee, Monticello, Madison, Saint George (FL) and Thomasville, Valdosta, Tifton, and beyond in GA stay ahead of the curve with innovative, stylish, and functional residential swimming pool designs.

Here are the top five trends we expect to define residential swimming pool construction and remodeling in 2025.

1. Smart Pools: Automation Meets Simplicity

The demand for smart pool technology continues to rise. Homeowners want pools that are easy to manage and energy-efficient—without sacrificing luxury.

Top Smart Pool Features:

• App-based control for pumps, lighting, heating, and more
• Automated cleaning systems for hassle-free maintenance
• Smart saltwater chlorinators for healthy, low-chemical water

At Mystic Pools, we specialize in integrating these technologies into both new builds and pool remodels, offering homeowners total control from the palm of their hand.

2. Sleek, Minimalist Design

Gone are the days of overly ornate pools. In 2025, the focus is on clean lines, geometric shapes, and modern finishes. These pools offer timeless elegance while maximizing usable space.

Popular Design Elements:

• Rectangular or square layouts
• Monochromatic tile and coping
• Integrated water features like scuppers and sheer descents

Gunite pools are ideal for this trend due to their design flexibility and long-term durability.

3. Resort-Inspired Features

Homeowners want their backyards to feel like a vacation destination—and 2025 is all about bringing the resort home.

Trending Features:

• Infinity edge pools for seamless views
• Baja shelves or tanning ledges with in-water loungers
• Built-in spas with customizable jets and lighting
• Fire bowls and water/fire combinations for dramatic ambiance

Whether you’re building new or looking to upgrade through residential swimming pool remodeling, these luxury features add high-end style and lasting value.

4. Eco-Friendly Pool Systems

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a priority for many pool owners. More clients in North Florida and South Georgia are asking for environmentally responsible pool solutions.

Sustainable Pool Upgrades:

• Saltwater pools to reduce chemical usage
• Energy-efficient variable-speed pumps
• Solar heating and LED lighting

Mystic Pools can guide you through eco-friendly options that fit your design goals and budget.

5. Multi-Functional Outdoor Living Spaces

In 2025, the best pool designs go beyond the water. We’re seeing more interest in complete outdoor environments that merge form and function.

Backyard Integration Ideas:

• Custom decking with lounge zones and dining areas
• Outdoor kitchens and fire pits nearby
• Landscaping that enhances privacy and aesthetics

We help homeowners create cohesive, purpose-built backyards that feel like an extension of their home—not just a poolside escape.
