Modern Design Trends for Pool Houses

Roofing Styles

If you drive through a newly constructed neighborhood, you will most likely see homes that have different roof slopes and shapes, which make each one stand out on its own. These roof trends are showing in additional home structures, too, like pool houses. Flat, sharp mono-pitched roof lines are very common since they add a unique yet subtle appearance to the structure.  This roof line may look very simple, but this simplicity brings an incredible amount of functionality since the raised roof portion provides a taller space. Above are the roof lines that Stoltzfus Structures typically offers. If you are looking for a mono-pitched roof, look at our Lux Lounge Villa, but all other styles feature those sharp roof lines that are trending today.

Consider having your pool house be the centerpiece of your backyard, instead of it being just another storage structure. Think of choosing colors that will match your home, or if you would like to stay within the modern trends today, look into earthy and natural color palettes. White, black, grey, and natural wood are always a trendy base color to choose from. You can contrast these colors with white, black, or a stained wood, or if you choose to incorporate a natural stone, shiplap, or metal accent. Check out this video to see a walkthrough of one of our pool houses with the gorgeous black and wood contrast. If you would like the earthier tones that are also common today, think of olive green, rust, or a sand color, then use contrasting accents to make your structure pop. Look at our pool house colors and see which ones would work best together.

Flow and Space

A trend that is common in homes is also moving into pool houses – large open spaces. To have a modern pool house, think of looking for seamless transitions between the pool and the lounge area, or having a covered portion that allows for more space to mingle with friends and family. There is nothing better than having a group of friends or family over to enjoy a night of swimming and firing up the grill. These covered patio areas attached to pool houses make for the perfect location to have a grill or a built-in kitchen space. Those are the moments and memories that Stoltzfus Structures hopes to create for customers, which is why we offer several pool house styles that can have a built-in kitchen space or grill space.

Pool houses can serve as a social gathering setting, a storage space, or both! The newest trend is having a pool house double as another space, like a guest suite, gym, office, or yoga studio. Within some covered areas of the pool house, it’s perfect for a shaded spot to work out or enjoy the weather. Adding sliding doors to your pool house is a great opportunity to add a breeze throughout your pool house space and add the “open” space that is common today. The extra storage space is also a great area to hide outdoor gear and pool floats. Based on how much storage you will have and how much space you would like for entertaining, you can choose from a variety of sizes that Stoltzfus Structures offers.

Interior Design

Adding a modernized space inside your pool house will bring your structure to a whole other level. Adding a couch, coffee tables, or even a dining table can create a space for gatherings instead of storage and create a scenic area to spend your time. Placing decorative pillows, rugs, and greenery will add a more relaxing and comforting feeling. Consider using planters both inside and outside the space, as well as incorporating hanging or potted succulents on tables. Think about vine-like greens, which will contrast beautifully with the sharp lines trending on the exterior of the pool house. Look at this featured pool house that was designed perfectly for the pool space.

Space Around

Your pool house will stand out with these new modern trend styles, but you can enhance your space even more by decorating the space around your pool house. Landscape lighting will show off your exterior space in the dark, especially if your pool house also has built-in outdoor lighting. If your pool house has a covered area, adding lounge chairs is a great way to get more functionality from your structure. Using landscaping materials that are sustainable will give your property an upscale appearance. Consider using native grasses, permeable pavers, and natural stone pathways to your pool house. To increase sustainability and efficiency, solar panels or solar battery lighting are a great way to save energy if your structure has a flat roof.
