No. 90 Pools · English Cottage
Cottage Pool Bordered by Fire Bowls
At dusk, a rectangular pool with interior lighting rests beside a stone cottage, accented by stone paving, small fire bowls, and an English cottage garden blooming with roses and purple foxgloves.
Design notes
Cottage pools hide in the garden rather than dominate it. Look for a modest rectangle or plunge pool edged with brick or flagstone, borders of roses, lavender and catmint running right up to the coping, an arbour or picket fence for structure, and a bench under a tree. Dark plaster helps the water read as a reflecting pond.
What to look for
- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
