When you remodel your pool deck, one of the most important design choices is your waterline tile. It might seem like a small detail, but it sets the tone for your whole pool area and ties the design together.
1. Complement your pool deck material
Your waterline tile should complement the deck, not compete with it. With light marble or travertine, a soft blue or gray tile creates a clean, elegant look. With darker pavers, richer blues or bold mosaics make the pool pop.
2. Decide how you want the water to look
Tile color changes how the water looks. Lighter tiles create a crisp turquoise effect. Darker tiles give the water a deeper, lagoon-like feel. Decide whether you want your pool to feel bright and lively or dramatic and sophisticated.
3. Match your home's style
Earth tones, creams and soft blues suit Mediterranean and traditional homes. Sleek grays, blacks and modern mosaics fit contemporary architecture.
4. Test in real sunlight
Florida's strong sun makes colors look brighter, while shade softens them. Always look at tile samples in natural light next to your pool before deciding.
5. Add personality
A hint of shimmer, a geometric pattern or a blend of tones can make your pool unique while still matching your deck and landscaping.
Blue Galaxy, Blue Wave and Tropic Isle are our newest mosaic lines. The Moon Rock Series, Nautilus, Sharktooth and Windmill round out the collection. See them all at our Design Center.
The finishing detail that makes the difference
The right waterline tile protects your pool's edge and lifts the look of your whole outdoor space. Coordinate it with your deck, your home's style and the water color you want, and your pool goes from ordinary to extraordinary.
