Help designing a new pool!

12 years ago

We just signed our contract for a pool and I will need to pick my finishes soon. Here are some quick facts:

35' x 17' freeform

Deep, bright blue gunite/plastered bottom

Brick pavers and coping

Tile

Waterfall feature on back end of pool

We live in the Orlando, Fl. area and my biggest concern is picking a tile that goes with the TAHOE BLUE color of the pool. It's pretty bright. So, if anyone has any suggestions for tile and pavers, bring it on! Pictures would be helpful too!!! Also, anyone have suggestions of where to find pool design pictures online?

Thank you!

I am in Tampa Bay and my pool has Tahoe Blue finish so here are some pics of my tile and pavers. The tile we chose is from LuvTile the color is Bicio Papao Blue, and out paver color is Sandstone/Buff/Charcoal.

Thank you so much Mike! That was so helpful to see. Your pool turned out beautifully! I see you went with the blue tile to compliment the blue pool. I was worried that the pool color was going to be too intense/dark. But it looks great in these pictures. Thanks again.

Does anyone have any leftover Bicio Papao Azzure (blue) tile left over? 2"X2" preferred. Would love to buy a small amount to match a project - it's been discontinued. Thanks!
