With pool season just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get your backyard ready for endless summer enjoyment. Choosing the right pool tile can elevate your pool from ordinary to extraordinary, transforming your entire backyard into an oasis of style and relaxation. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of luxury or create a unique design statement, the pool tile options listed below can help you achieve the perfect look for your outdoor space.

The 5 Most Popular Pool Tiles for Luxury Homes

1. Glass Tiles: A Splash of Luxury

Glass tiles are leading the way in modern pool design, offering a luxurious and visually stunning option for pool owners. With a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes available, glass tile mosaics can be used on the walls and floors of your pool to create an opulent and sophisticated look. The reflective quality of glass tiles adds depth and elegance, making your pool a true centerpiece in your backyard.

2. Porcelain Tiles: Durability Meets Style

Porcelain tiles may not be as visually striking as glass, but they excel in durability. Known for their strength and zero percent absorption rate, porcelain tiles are ideal for long-lasting pool installations. Lightweight and easy to handle, porcelain tiles are a practical choice for homeowners who want a low-maintenance option that still offers a stylish appearance.

3. Stone Tiles: Timeless Natural Beauty

For those seeking a natural, organic look, stone tiles are an excellent choice. Stone tiles create a serene, wading pool feel that pairs beautifully with water features and complementary landscaping. As one of the most classic pool tile options, stone is a timeless trend that will never go out of style, offering a connection to nature that is both calming and elegant.

4. Glazed Tiles: Classic Elegance with a Modern Twist

Glazed tiles are a popular choice for those who appreciate classic pool designs, often seen in luxurious hotels and spas. These tiles are perfect for incorporating patterns or images, such as wave designs or aquatic themes, into your pool’s design. Glazed tiles offer a polished look that can be customized to reflect your personal style, making them a versatile option for any luxury pool.

5. Metal Tiles: A Unique and Bold Statement

Metal tiles are less common than other options but offer a unique and bold design statement for your pool. Their ornate moldings and metallic finishes add a touch of grandeur and singularity, making your pool stand out. If you’re looking to make a dramatic impact and add a touch of opulence, metal tiles are an excellent choice.

Custom Over Catalogue: Why High End Interiors Should Never Be Cookie-Cutter

By Alexis Kesaris • June 4, 2025
Picture this: You stroll into a gleaming furniture showroom. Marble floors gleam under spotlights, sofas are grouped into perfectly staged vignettes, and a salesperson assures you that their collection is “exactly what discerning buyers like you want this year.” Yet the moment that furniture crosses your threshold it feels… flat. It looked sumptuous on the sales floor, but inside your home it’s just another catalogue vignette pasted into a space that was meant to be uniquely yours. True luxury clients quickly learn a painful lesson, prestige price tags don’t guarantee a personalized experience, only bespoke design does. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we champion custom over catalogue. In homes from Scottsdale to New York, we craft interiors as distinctive as the families who live in them, ensuring every finish tells their story, never a mass-market script.

Designing for Wellness: How Luxury Interiors Prioritize Health and Harmony

By Alexis Kesaris • May 19, 2025
Imagine walking into a home where every detail is intentionally crafted to help you feel calmer, sleep better, and live more mindfully. In today's world, wellness is no longer reserved for the spa, it's being built right into the walls, lighting, and layout of luxury homes. High-end interior design is evolving to support not only aesthetics but also emotional, mental, and physical well-being. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we specialize in creating environments that look as good as they feel. This isn't a passing trend, it's a new standard of living.

The Art of Layering: How to Mix Textures & Fabrics in Luxury Interiors

By Alexis Kesaris • May 7, 2025
When you step into a home that exudes comfort, refinement, and quiet confidence, it’s not by accident. The space feels complete. This is not because it’s filled with furniture, but because every element interacts with intention. Often, the magic lies in what you don’t immediately notice: the layers of texture and fabric woven seamlessly throughout. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we’ve spent decades perfecting the subtleties of luxury design. And one of the most impactful tools in our creative arsenal is the art of layering. In this article, we’ll take you behind the curtain of our process—not to show you how to become a designer, but to show you what’s possible when you hire one who understands how to translate a vision into something exquisite, tactile, and personal. Understanding the Language of Texture Texture is more than touch. It’s emotion. It’s memory. It’s the soft elegance of a mohair ottoman or the understated strength of a honed limestone fireplace. It’s how light hits a raw silk curtain in the morning, or the way your hand sinks into a cashmere-wrapped headboard at night. In luxury design, texture is the thread that connects aesthetic beauty to real-world comfort. And our team at Fratantoni Interior Designers is fluent in it. Whether we’re designing a sun-soaked villa in Arizona or an ultra-modern Manhattan penthouse, our work begins with identifying how our clients want to feel in each space. Texture then becomes the language through which we communicate that feeling, quiet or bold, relaxed or formal, classic or unexpected. Our Signature Approach: Curated, Not Cluttered Some homes are over-decorated. Others are under-designed. The most luxurious strike a perfect balance, and that balance comes from experience. At Fratantoni, we take a curated approach to layering. Our clients aren’t looking for trendy Instagram rooms; they want timeless interiors that reflect their individuality and sophistication. Here’s how we achieve that: Contrast with harmony – We pair soft with sleek, rough with refined, always ensuring cohesion. Intentional repetition – A boucle fabric may reappear subtly in pillows, a bench, and drapery trims. One hero element per room – A standout velvet sofa or dramatic textural wall covering sets the tone. Material weight and scale – We balance heavier fabrics with lighter ones to keep rooms airy but grounded. Every decision is calibrated for visual and sensory impact, not excess.
