White pool tiles have long been a staple of pool designs. There is arguably no other color as timeless as white tiles, offering a minimal, clean, and crisp aesthetic to any spa or pool space.
Depending on the surrounding materials and high-end production, they can also give a modern, luxurious feel that transforms a room.
At Oasis tiles, we sell modern white swimming pool tiles that offer a luxury feel to any pool, splashback, or spa area. If you’re looking for something that is undeniably timeless and sleek, white is the way to go. We’re going to take a look at the latest white pool tile trends in 2025:
Why Blue Pool Tile Remains the Go-To for Modern Pools
Psychologically speaking, white’s ability to reflect light also makes a pool brighter and more inviting. Unlike some other colours, it enables the water to gain a turquoise color due to light refraction and sky reflection.
White tiles can be easier to maintain, as dirt and debris in the water can be spotted with the naked eye.
They also help reflect sunlight better than darker tiles, making it ideal for warmer climates.

How to Create a Pool Design with White Pool Tiles
Create Waterline Accents
Visually, waterline tiles create a defined border around the pool. You can use white swimming pool tiles striking waterline accents that look great but also disguise water marks and residue.
For example, you can opt for a classic horizontal line, geometric pattern, or wave shape around the water line. Doing so adds some personality and highlights that neat water line.
Pair Tiles with Surroundings
When choosing your white swimming pool tiles, keep the surrounding landscape to ensure each aspect complements the other.
White and neutral tiles can create a natural look with stone decking, wood, and greenery; while coastal vibes require blue or turquoise tiles. Modern designs are made with clean lines and minimalist tile styles.
Choose a Design Approach
We’re not going to tell you the specific designs you can for, that would require an entire other article. But we can give you some pointers on a general approach, as tile layout plays a huge role in the mood of a pool. Here’s a quick guide:
- Sleek and modern: Go for stacked, clean lines with a uniform placement.
- Movement: Use a herringbone pattern that adds a sense of movement, without being overwhelming.
- High-end and luxurious: Use a full-mosaic layout, with intricate designs and shimmering white glass tiles.
How to Create a Shimmer
If you’re after a shimmer, you need to incorporate iridescent textured pool tiles that will scatter sunlight and water movement.
While you can cover your pool in them, you can take a more subtle approach by using them as accents along the waterline, steps, or as a mosaic. You can increase the effect with LED pool lights, which always look gorgeous at night.
