Swimming pools for homes

Indoor pools are becoming a popular addition to home interiors, say interior designers. There are several reasons for this trend. Some homeowners prefer swimming in the comfort of their home. Some want to relax by it with a book or a cup of tea or host social gatherings around it .

Ventilation plays a vital role when designing indoor pools, begins Sumit Malik, founding principal of Design Consortia in New Delhi.

Special drainage systems are needed to avoid the accumulation of water inside the home. “Indoor pools have different drainage needs compared to outdoor ones. Channel drains that direct water to a single collection point need to be set up,”he says.
