Summer is here and we couldn’t help but take a virtual tour around the world to admire these spectacular swimming pools. A well-designed swimming pool is the liquid centerpiece of your home and can turn your backyard into a decadent escape. Whether you prefer to lounge poolside or dip your toes before diving in, the images below are sure to have you dreaming of chlorinated, saltwater or natural water pools. Let’s suspend reality for a few minutes and imagine that we’re looking out into the gorgeous waters of the pools below.

When it comes to designing the perfect summer retreat, one should take into consideration not only colors, design and nature, but also the appropriate materials to go around the pool. Laminam is a practical furnishing solution that also offers excellent technical properties and an attractive style. It is a large surface: 1620x3240mm of pure porcelain stoneware compacted into a thickness of just12mm. What makes it so revolutionary is its excellent resistance and sophisticated style. It is a real architectural skin, adapting to a huge variety of applications, allowing you to create pleasing, harmonious settings. Pietra di Savoia Antracite will look just as stunning.  

The undulating curves of the chairs are repeated in the arc of the infinity pool, which begs the question: Which came first, the pool or the deck chairs? Green clear from our recycled glass collection would be ideal to recreate this look.

Here we’re transported to beautiful Spain where a seamless edge and sand-colored stone, which looks like Bianco from Laminam collection, fool us into thinking that we’re at the beach instead of poolside.

Brazil anyone? Just look at this view. The landscape is pretty amazing as well; the deck looks like natural wood. Similar look could be achieved using Fumo.

There’s something very Zen about this pool. Purity, calmness, and clarity are just a few words that come to mind while looking at this picture. It blends perfectly in with the lush landscape that surrounds it.

I consider this image to represent my holy trifecta of water at home: a dipping spa, an infinity pool and an ocean right at my fingertips. It’s the perfect place in which to watch the sky turn from blue to shades of orange and purple, ushering in the night.

This is definitely an article about dream pools. We hope you enjoyed this virtual tour as much as we did!
