11. Blue Hues | Flooring patterns

The color blue is the go-to color for pools. Not only is the water dyed blue for an ultimate effect, but the tile flooring is also different hues of blue. From dark blue mosaic tiles to larger tiles that take on lighter shades, the possibilities for blue flooring are endless. 

While it’s a simple pool design possibility, it’s classic and timeless.

12. Clean and Subtle

Maybe bold or classic designs aren’t your taste and you prefer something less adventurous. Subtle pool designs can still show patterns without being visually overwhelming. 

Depending on the goal aesthetic, different tile or stone placements can elusively decorate the pool.
