Stepping away from inside the home, it’s time to take a brief look at swimming pool tile fashion – the current do’s and don’t’s! If you currently own a pool and would love to re-tile, or are considering constructing one, it is important to consider the tiling for your pool, and the team at Johnson Tiles have a couple of tips for you!
Whilst not so long ago a far more natural, neutral look was popular amongst pool owners, we have taken a dive in the opposing direction to opt for something that can be potentially striking, modern and fun. Small, squared swimming pool tiles are back in fashion – making for a style that will rarely date, and always looks fresh and inviting.
So, now that we know which tiles are all the go, what colours should aspiring pool owners be hunting for? Your swimming pool will always look fresh, clean and fun when using shades of blue – and the beauty of small, compact tiles is that you can vary the shades of the colour you select. Bright blues, turquoises, purples and darker blues will keep your pool looking clean and clear – less maintenance a bonus!
Of course, there are always other options if you want something a little less traditional. Greens can look fabulous when done correctly – we advise to make use of aquas, lime greens and sea greens to make your pool look at its best; murky greens can make your water appear cloudy and dull. Another creative option that won’t go out of fashion is always neutrals – such as a combination of black, grey and white. It is important to use the darkest colour as the minority – as too much can make the water look dirty and unsafe.
And finally, for those who want something a little bit more outrageous, opting for reds, organges and yellows is always a hit. They will brighten up any pool space – indoors or out! Be smart with your choices; as these colours can quickly date. It is important to select colours that will match with the style of your environment, home and personality – without going to crazy!
