5 Unique Inground Vinyl Liner Pool Patterns

Finding the right vinyl liner pool pattern for your inground pool can be difficult, we get it. For both new installations and liner replacements alike, picking the right liner pattern is vital for pool owners. Some questions to ask when picking your pool’s vinyl liner include:

• What color do I want my pool to look like? Dark blue? Light blue? Turquoise? White?
• Do I want my pool to retain heat?
• Does my pool sit under direct sunlight and take in a lot of heat?
• Am I concerned with seeing all the debris on the pool floor?
• Do I want a border around the top of the liner?

Vinyl liners are a delicate product that, while beautiful, require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Additionally, you need to replace them every 7-10 years or so. If you’re reading this, you’re probably seriously considering a vinyl liner and may be okay with this. If so, great, you’re in the right place.

While researching liners, you surely discovered that there are a lot to choose from. This is true. Royal Pools G2 Landscaping has installed dozens of vinyl liner inground pools over the past 25 years. We have seen some really cool and unique patterns over the years, and manufacturers create new ones every year!

Below are five unique vinyl liner patterns, one from each of the five best vinyl liner manufacturers in the pool industry today. Maybe one of these patterns will be the one for you. Let’s dive in!

Tara – Celestial Skies

The Celestial Skies pattern brings a deep midnight blue water color to your pool with a star-like shimmer effect. The liner has a subtle mix of darker shades with light accents that mimic a sparkling sky at dusk. If you want elegance, look no further.

Creating a deep-blue color when underwater, this pattern basically puts a galaxy in your pool. This pattern can greatly enhance your swim experience, particularly at night when combined with a pool light.

GLI Liners – Falling Esagono

The Falling Esagono is a geometric pattern featuring descending tessellated hexagon shapes that create a sleek, modern look. Underwater, the liner gives off a vibrant light-blue appearance that’s both classic and contemporary. It’s a standout choice for homeowners who want their pool to look unique and modern without being too flashy.

Latham – Gulf Coast / Tan Seastone

The Gulf Coast / Tan Seastone liner brings the beach to your backyard. The pebble aesthetic of this liner gives the illusion of beach sand. When filled with water, it produces a soft turquoise-to-aqua shade that feels tropical and inviting. This vinyl liner pattern is perfect for pool owners who want their backyard to resemble a coastal retreat.

Merlin – Emerald Cove

Here we have the most unique pattern of the bunch. If you see this liner and instantly think “Ew, green water”, fear not. The Emerald Cove liner pattern is designed to deliver a rich jewel-toned water color.

With greenish-blue undertones and gold highlights, it creates a lagoon-like feel that’s both exotic and inviting. If you want your backyard pool to resemble a hidden paradise, this liner’s deep, striking color palette is a great match.

Loop Loc – Palm Springs

When I look at the Palm Springs vinyl liner pattern, I imagine an oasis in the middle of a barren desert. It just looks so refreshing.

This liner pattern is characterized by palm leaf accents and sandy undertones. This produces a sparkling Caribbean-blue water effect when installed. The Palm Springs is great for homeowners looking for a refreshing, resort-style pool aesthetic that provides an oasis in their own yard.

Which Pattern Is Right For You?

Revisit the considerations listed above. The liner pattern you love may not be the most practical one available. If your pool gets a lot of direct sunlight, a darker liner pattern will retain more heat than a lighter one. A lighter liner pattern will show stains and debris faster than a darker liner.

Some patterns look completely different out of the water than they do submerged – what color do you desire? There is a lot to consider, and it is up to you to make the decision.

Conclusion

An inground pool is a massive investment. If vinyl liner pools are your preferred choice, the vinyl liner itself is its own investment. As an investment in your happiness and luxury, you want to pick the right liner, and if you can, make it an awesome one.
