The Future of Pool Buying: How The PoolHouse is Redefining Luxury, Lifestyle & Outdoor Living

More than just a showroom, The PoolHouse is an immersive experience that blends luxury, lifestyle and functionality, redefining how pools are chosen, designed and installed. With a wide range of options available, The PoolHouse takes the guesswork out of choosing the right pool by introducing a ‘swim before you buy’ concept—with 11 styles ready for you to take a dip, this showroom concept allows you to vividly imagine how each swimming pool style would complement your backyard and lifestyle needs. 

ArchiPro spoke with Anna Jamieson, Head of Marketing for The PoolHouse, to discuss how their showroom is revolutionising the pool-buying process—we explore the innovation behind The PoolHouse, its approach to crafting the ultimate outdoor oasis and the latest trends that are shaping the future of pools.

Redefining the Pool-Buying Experience 

Traditionally, purchasing a pool has been a process filled with uncertainty. You’ve had to rely on brochures, digital renders and a fair amount of imagination to picture how a pool might fit into their outdoor space. The PoolHouse eliminates this ambiguity by offering a try-before-you-buy experience, where you can physically see, touch and even swim in the 11 designs that The PoolHouse offers. 

“Our display centre allows clients to experience the size, finishes, and feel of our pools in a natural outdoor setting,” says Anna. “This hands-on approach removes the guesswork and gives homeowners confidence in their investment.” 

Beyond providing a visual and tactile experience, The PoolHouse takes a consultative approach, guiding you through every stage of the process—from initial inspection to installation. 

Creating the Ultimate Backyard Oasis 

The PoolHouse is more than just an innovative showroom; it’s a complete outdoor lifestyle experience. Recognising that a pool is only one part of a backyard transformation, the space incorporates landscaping and decking to inspire you and help you envision your dream outdoor setting. 

“At The PoolHouse, we guide clients through the entire process,” explains Anna. “From choosing the right pool size, shape and finish to considering elements like heating, lighting and landscaping—our team helps homeowners create a seamless, resort-style outdoor space.”

Beyond aesthetics, The Poolhouse works to streamline the often complex consent and installation process, managing council approvals, engineering requirements and site preparation to ensure a stress-free experience. 

Luxury, Lifestyle and the Latest Trends 

As you invest in your outdoor space, your pool becomes an extension of your home rather than just a backyard feature. Today’s trends focus on creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, with designs that prioritise both form and function. Some of the most sought-after styles, according to Anna, include: 

• Minimalist architectural designs 

Minimalism is in, and the embrace of clean lines and geometric shapes is perfect for complementing contemporary homes. 

• Smaller, plunge-style pools

This style is ideal for urban and compact spaces, offering a luxurious swimming experience without the demand for space. 

• Eco-friendly innovations

The conversation around sustainability is becoming increasingly prominent. Energy-efficient heating, mineral-based water treatments and smart automation are the perfect innovations to incorporate into your swimming experience to help lessen your eco-footprint. 

• Integrated water features and lighting

Who said pool designs have to be simple? Enhancing your swimming area’s ambience with cascading edges, LED lighting and fire-and-water combinations is on the rise, and for good reason! 

“The PoolHouse helps clients incorporate these trends by offering a curated selection of pools that reflect modern styles while ensuring they align with individual lifestyle needs, space constraints, and budget considerations,” says Anna. 

Confidence in Every Purchase 

Buying a pool will always be a significant investment, so working with a company that understands the importance of making the purchase with absolute confidence is crucial. Unlike traditional buying methods, where choices are made based on the concept images and specifications, The PoolHouse allows you to physically experience each pool option before committing. 

“Our team provides expert guidance throughout the process,” says Anna. The team helps homeowners consider all key factors, such as: 

• Lifestyle fit

Do you need a family-friendly pool, a modern plunge pool, or an entertainment-focused design? Expert guidance from The PoolHouse will help you choose the right fit for your lifestyle needs. 

• Long-term value 

Factoring in maintenance, heat efficiency and durability are three major key points when shopping for a swimming pool—but it’s also one of the most elusive parts. The experts walk you through what aftercare is required and which option may best suit your lifestyle. 

• Customisation options

From finishes and lighting to heating and automation, make your pool a little more bespoke with exciting features available to you. 

By offering a real-world experience, expert advice and a seamless installation process, The PoolHouse ensures that you leave feeling confident in your investment. More than just selecting a pool, your choice is about embracing a lifestyle of luxury, relaxation and outdoor enjoyment.
