Modern pool tiles: ideas & trends

Reimagine the outdoor area with a modern pool that celebrate the beauty of porcelain tiles: there is something to suit every taste and style. Incorporating unique patterns and textures can add a personalized touch to your pool, making it a true reflection of your design preferences. Here are some factors to keep in mind when choosing the best tiles for your project:

• Large-format tiles. The expansive size of large slabs helps to create a seamless, contemporary finish throughout the outdoor area.

• Create an infinity pool. It is an immediate way to level up the status of the outdoor space. Achieve this luxurious design with white marble effect slabs, which enhance the pool's seamless edge and create a sophisticated, high-end appearance.

• Design continuity. A swimming pool should feature harmony between the indoors and outdoors and between the different areas of the garden.

• Safety, functionality & design. Atlas Concorde’s porcelain tiles are a brilliant surface solution. With their innovative Sensitech technology, they combine a non-slip finish with a non-porous surface to ensure easy maintenance and safety around the pool area. Additionally, using tiles with varying finishes, such as matte and glossy, can create a dynamic visual effect that catches the eye.

Using colourful tiles or mosaic tile patterns along the waterline can create a stunning visual effect. These tiles not only add beauty but also help keep the pool clean by reducing dirt buildup. However, if you prefer a more understated look, opting for a simpler style can also be highly effective. Choosing classic, solid-coloured tiles in neutral shades such as white, beige, or grey can give your pool a clean and elegant appearance. These simple pool and waterline designs can enhance the natural beauty of the water, creating a tranquil and timeless aesthetic.

Whether you choose vibrant mosaics or minimalist solids, the key is to select waterline tiles that align with your overall vision for your pool area. Here are some concepts you could consider for your project.

To make a striking statement, choose deeply textured stone effect tiles for the waterline and match them with light-toned pool tiles. Grey stone effect slabs on the waterline, as the ones from the Boost Icor collection, pair well with almost every pool aesthetic.

Decide on wood effect tiles around the pool for naturally elegant commercial and domestic outdoor spaces. You can combine this with wood effect slabs on the patio or raised terrace and match with wood effect slabs in the living area. You'll accomplish the ultimate harmonious flow from the indoors to the outdoors. Atlas Concorde's oak-inspired Log porcelain tiles are a versatile way to embrace this trend.

Set the right tone in the outdoor area by carefully considering the colour of your swimming pool tiles. These tiles will need to be matched with other materials and landscaping in the garden, so it's vital to choose the perfect colour. The most classic swimming pool tile colours are blue and black, evoking a timeless elegance that complements the natural surroundings of any outdoor oasis.

When it comes to blue pool waterline tile ideas, the options are endless, and Atlas Concorde's blue tiles come in a wide array of textures and finishes for maximum design customisation.

Sky blue tiles exude a playful spirit and reflect sunlight in sparkling ways. These lighter-toned materials will help transform the outdoor area into a mini holiday resort. Also, keep in mind that light blue tiles tend to make the pool look wider.

In contrast, navy tiles make the colour of the water even darker and more ocean-inspired. They would pair well with deeper grey concrete and stone effect floor tiles on the patio around the pool. Blue marble effect tiles are a premium outdoor solution that creates extra visual interest and a sense of extravagance. Whether you choose deep navy, bright turquoise, or subtle sky blue, these tiles can enhance the overall aesthetic and create a serene environment.

Put an unexpected spin on the swimming pool area with these black pool tile ideas that epitomise modern, minimal design and make an original statement. These materials ensure the outdoor area will look clean and sleek for years to come. Choose from grey charcoals to deep blacks: Atlas Concorde's black outdoor tiles are available in a range of shades, from grey charcoals to the deepest blacks.

Deliver a contrasting look by pairing a black tiled swimming pool with light grey or beige concrete effect tiles on the border and patio. The lighter tiles will help balance out the darkness of the pool and create a striking aesthetic with a powerful visual impact.

Accomplish a naturally elegant area by blending black tiles in the pool with a black tile waterline and lighter-coloured borders and terrace. A subtly patterned white marble effect tile , such as the ones from the Marvel Travertine collection, would be an ideal combination with a black swimming pool.

Swimming pool tiles design has evolved significantly, offering a wide range of effects, colours, and patterns. Consider mixing different tile styles and colours to create a unique look. Below are some ideas for your project.

Make greys and blues the feature of the outdoor area, for a contemporary aesthetic that is highly functional. You can use grey stone effect tiles on the patio and border surrounding the pool. Match with blue swimming pool tiles and complete the modern look. For a truly harmonious style, add the same stone effect slabs to the waterline.

To create versatile, pared-back outdoor areas with wide appeal, minimalist porcelain tiles are best. Tiles that feature neutral colours and delicate textures will complement almost any style and material and will not overpower any of the other elements in the garden. Limestone-inspired stone effect porcelain tiles are an elegant choice.

The Lims collection faithfully replicates the authentic purity of natural limestone and couples it with the resilience and precise edges of stoneware. Cover all surfaces from the patio to pool borders, stairs and edges in the same material for an extra seamless finish that looks put-together.

Transform your outdoor area into a sunshine-filled retreat with Mediterranean-inspired porcelain tiles. The golden terracotta tones of brown and beige stone effect of the Axi collection are perfect for pool patios and terraces. Combine them with decorative tiles on the pool's waterline to enhance the personality of the area.

Geometric shapes, such as hexagonal tiles, create modern and striking patterns, and can be a great source of inspiration when designing the flooring of the pool. These designs allow for play with spatial perception and add a cutting-edge touch.
