A classic look dating back to the Roman Empire, a black bottom pool can add an allure to your landscaping unlike more traditionally colored pools. A unique design aesthetic, black bottom pools are not for everyone and everything from the style of the home to landscaping should be considered before jumping into the deep end.

Dark and mysterious, black bottom pools are an excellent accent to modern or naturalist homes. On still days, the surface will create a perfect mirror of your surroundings, be they forests of pine trees, the intertwining branches of a banyan tree, or the sturdy cypress. The color of the pool water is greatly affected by the color of the tile -- black bottom pools have an inky depth reminiscent of the deep ocean or forest lakes. A gradient of light gray to black, mimicking the decent of the pool, would give the perception of added depth and enhance the deep water aesthetic.
