What are the finishing touches when it comes to designing your pool? How many tiles should you choose and where do those go? Can you choose multiple finishes? Which types of hardscapes?
 

Final Touches: Perfecting Your Pool Design

When it comes to building a pool, most people focus on the big-ticket decisions - shape, size, features, and materials. But the true magic of a beautifully designed pool lies in the finishing details that take a project from “nice” to “unforgettable.” At Noble Tile Supply, we know that these elements define how a pool looks, feels, and performs for years to come.

Whether you’re a builder guiding a homeowner or a homeowner selecting materials in one of our showrooms, these are the key details that complete a pool design.
 

Attention to Edges & Accents
Small choices make a big difference:

  • Step markers to enhance safety and style
  • Tile accents on benches, sun shelves, and raised walls
  • Mosaic inlays for custom, artistic touches
  • Spillway tile to highlight water features

These details help the pool feel intentional and elevated, while also enhancing function.

Lighting That Transforms the Mood
Nothing elevates a pool at night like the right lighting plan. Consider:

  • LED color-changing lights
  • Glow-edge perimeter lighting
  • Lit water features
  • Underwater accent lights for added dimension

The right lighting enhances safety and creates a resort-like ambiance after dark.

Finishing Fixtures & Accessories
Skimmer lids, drain covers, return fittings, and other small components all affect the final look. Matching these elements with your tile or finish adds a refined, cohesive feel.

Builders often choose:

  • Color-matched fittings for a seamless aesthetic
  • Upgraded fixtures to enhance performance and longevity

It’s a detail homeowners rarely think about—until they see how much more polished the pool looks with the right choices.

  • Tile lines are precise
