Perth Concrete Pools – 2025 Pool Design Trends Shaping Australian Backyards

Shannan Foxon-Warner • September 3, 2025

At Perth Concrete Pools, we’ve always believed a swimming pool should be more than just a place to cool down — it should be the heart of your outdoor living space. As we hightail through the second half 2025, pool design in Australia is evolving with exciting innovations, modern aesthetics, and a renewed focus on wellness and sustainability.


From eco-friendly builds and smart pool technology to bold finishes and wellness-inspired layouts, the latest trends are redefining what it means to own a pool in Perth. Let’s explore the biggest pool design trends shaping Australian backyards in 2025 — and how we’re bringing them to life right here in WA.


Sustainability at the Forefront of Pool Design. At Perth Concrete Pools, we design with longevity and sustainability at the core, ensuring your pool not only looks beautiful but also contributes to a lighter environmental footprint.


Environmental responsibility is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s an essential part of modern pool building. Homeowners are seeking pools that minimise energy use, conserve water, and reduce reliance on chemicals.


Key eco-friendly trends for 2025

Solar heating systems: Harnessing Perth’s sunshine to warm pools efficiently and sustainably.

Water-saving features: Advanced covers that reduce evaporation, smart plumbing systems, and energy-efficient filtration equipment. 

Natural pool inspiration: Designs that echo lagoons, mineral pool systems and freshwater retreats.


Technology Meets Lifestyle

Imagine controlling your entire pool system with a tap on your phone. In 2025, smart pools are no longer a luxury — they’re becoming the new standard. By integrating the latest technology into your pool, we ensure more time is spent enjoying it, not maintaining it.


It's All About Convenience

App-based controls: Manage heating, lighting, and filtration from anywhere.

Automated cleaning systems: Advanced robotic cleaners that keep your pool well-maintained and crystal-clear.

Water balance automation: Smart sensors that monitor and adjust pH and chlorine levels for hassle-free maintenance.


Modern Finishes & Statement Designs

Design in 2025 is all about bold, minimalist luxury. Pools are being elevated into works of art that complement modern architecture and landscaping. These design touches are what transform a pool from “functional” to “breathtaking.”


Standout Appeal

White plaster finishes: Bright White and Sandy Beach supplied by Rainbow Quartz has increased in popularity due to its cost-effectiveness and reliability, delivering a modern and crisp aesthetic finish. 

Infinity edges: Seamless horizons that blend water with sky — especially striking in Perth’s elevated or scenic blocks.

Mosaic tiles: Durable, stain-resistant, and require low maintenance, mosaics create a luxurious and premium feel to any concrete swimming pool. 

Large-format paving and coping: Clean lines and smooth transitions for a minimalist aesthetic.

Integrated lighting: Colour-changing LEDs and underwater accents for night-time ambience.


Wellness-Driven Pool Concepts

Wellness-focused designs allow your pool to double as both a place of entertainment and personal retreat. Pools are no longer just for recreation — they’re being designed as wellness sanctuaries for the whole family.


Compact & Creative Designs for All Spaces

At Perth Concrete Pools, our boutique approach ensures we design around your block, making even the most challenging sites an opportunity for creative design. Not every Perth property has a sprawling backyard — and that’s where smart pool design comes in. Compact pools are gaining popularity, proving you don’t need vast space to create a luxury oasis.


Trending Concepts

Narrow lap pools: Sleek, elongated designs perfect for exercise.

Courtyard pools: Designed to fit seamlessly with indoor/outdoor living areas.

Custom concrete shapes: Tailored layouts that maximise use of tight or sloping blocks.

Dual-purpose features: Splash areas, sun shelves, and built-in benches for family-friendly versatility.
