Indoor Pool As A Spectacular and Sensational Escape!
One of the popular design themes for contemporary indoor pools is to create ‘a-world-within-a world’. This magical setting allows you to escape the mundane rush of your life and often transports you into a surreal alternate world that is far away from your busy urban life. Themes for such extravagant pools vary depending on both the available space and your own personal preference. You can use a few exotic plants, a lovely waterfall feature set in natural rocks and the right lighting to create a tropical getaway that is just a few steps away from your living room.

Indoor Pools That Blur the Lines
When you think of indoor pools, the image that most often comes to mind is one that is surrounded by stoic concrete walls on all four sides. While this design scheme works well in regions with an ultra-cool winter, those having more moderate weather conditions can opt for the perfect compromise. Blending the inside swimming pool with the outdoor version, transparent screen enclosures and extensive retractable roofs allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Blurring the line between your indoors and the world outside, these see-through domes allow you to enjoy the view outside while shielding you from the chilly winds.

Under the Spotlight
Lighting plays a pivotal role in defining pretty much every room of your house, and when it comes to indoor pools, appropriate lighting is all the more vital. No one likes to step into a pool area that is dark, dingy and poorly lit. Instead of adding to the appeal of your home, it actually takes away from the overall look. The lighting that you choose for the indoor pool must complement the theme that you have selected for the space. Combine several different layers of lighting for various effects and use an evenly spaced layer of recessed lighting to create the right ambiance.

In case you are opting for a more traditional look, use vintage chandeliers and a few candle lantern-styled lights to usher in the right appeal. Large glass windows and transparent screens are also a great way to bring in natural light that takes over during the daytime. Fabulous lighting not only creates a vivacious indoor pool, it also highlights its key features in a flawless fashion!

While some prefer an indoor swim spot that creates a dramatic escape, others tend to prefer a pool that enhances the appeal of their contemporary home. A lavish pool can be visually connected with your living room or dining area and can blend in impeccably with the rest of the house.
