As warm weather approaches, UK homeowners are increasingly turning their attention to creating ‘pool ready’ spaces at home – whether that’s a full swimming pool, spa-style hot tub area, or simply a garden designed for cooling off and entertaining.
While private pools are often considered a luxury for the rich and famous, the number of people installing pools is on the increase as UK sunshine levels reach record highs each year. Searches for homes with pools have increased by up to 49% since the pandemic (1) and more than a quarter of UK homeowners say a pool is their ultimate home upgrade (2).
According to Quorn Stone, the UK’s leading natural stone and porcelain tile specialist, demand for poolside-inspired spaces has grown significantly, with homeowners prioritising materials that combine practicality with a high-end, resort-style aesthetic.
Says Isabel Fernandez, Director of Quorn Stone: “Even without installing a full pool, homeowners are embracing the look and lifestyle of poolside living, through considered materials inside and out. Today’s interpretation of a pool-ready home goes beyond water – it’s about creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, spa-like finishes and surfaces that evoke holiday living.
“The key to choosing the right paving and tiles to achieve the pool-ready look is continuity, texture and practicality for the British climate. At Quorn Stone, we have a range of paving and tile solutions to help homeowners achieve that summer poolside look that’s becoming more and more popular.”
Quorn Stone’s collections include a range of porcelain and natural stone options suitable for pool surrounds, patios and spa-style interiors designed to bring a cohesive, indoor-outdoor look to homes:
