dip a toe in 2019’s
summer trends
Last year’s scorching summer may have dictated
one of 2019’s biggest home trends, with searches
for ‘swimming pool designs’ on Pinterest up 2,100%
from 2018 and research by Duette revealing that
Britons were willing to pay up to £10,000 more for
a house with a pool than one without.
We’re seeing self-builders and renovators
introducing swimming pools into their plans with
a focus on wellbeing – with hydrotherapy pools
and smaller-format pools with swim-jets – but it’s
natural swimming pools (as pictured here by http://www.
inspirednaturalpool.com) which are particularly
popular, with searches increasing by 262%.
