For those of us lucky enough to own a pool, the backyard becomes our primary living space once the summer sun arrives in 2026. We believe that styling an outdoor pool area deserves just as much aesthetic consideration as any interior room. Our current obsession is Alexandra Daddario's Scandi-style lap pool, which she shared on Instagram.
When gathering pool ideas for a seasonal refresh, we find ourselves returning to this look. It perfectly illustrates how clean lines and understated accessories create a chic outdoor retreat. While curved designs remain a timeless choice, there is a specific architectural appeal to a lap pool like Alexandra’s. These pools are ideal for morning exercise sessions during the July heat, but they are also a clever way to maximize space.
