Rectangular Pool with Copper Fire Bowls
At dusk, a rectangular swimming pool with blue lighting and flaming copper fire bowls borders brick paving with patterned tile, wrought iron fencing, and a Victorian house featuring gingerbread trim.
Design notes
Victorian pools are rare in period photographs, so the best modern versions borrow the era's ornament: a wrought-iron fence and gates, patterned tile borders, urns on pedestals, a gazebo or glasshouse pool room, and planting of roses, ferns and hydrangeas. Keep the pool shape classic and let the ironwork and tile carry the style.
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
