6. The “Spool” with a Waterfall Wall

When space is tight, your pool needs to function as a water feature even when you aren’t in it.

  • The Design: A small square pool with one raised wall that features a sheer descent waterfall.
  • The Benefit: The vertical element adds privacy and drowns out neighborhood noise with the sound of falling water.
  • Style Tip: Use stacked stone or 3D porcelain tiles on the feature wall for added texture.
