About this collection
Modern Farmhouse Pool Ideas, explained.
Modern farmhouse pools take the language of the working farm — gabled roofs, board-and-batten siding, standing-seam metal, cedar posts and porches — and pair it with black window frames, white paint and clean landscaping. The result is warm without being fussy.
Watch how the best pool designs keep the palette to three or four materials and let the lawn and planting do the softening. Save the ones whose proportions match your house, then keep the furniture simple.
Farmhouse pools are simple rectangles set in lawn or gravel beside a white house with black windows. Look for bluestone or concrete coping, a cedar or metal-roofed pool house, a stock-tank or plunge pool on smaller lots, and planting kept to hydrangeas, grasses and a few shade trees. Furniture is black or natural teak, never resort-white.
