Level Up Your Swimming Pool with Iridescent Tiles
Greater than any elaborate flower garden, extensive barbecue installation, or luxurious outdoor patio, it’s the pool that catches a person’s eye more often than any other outdoor feature. Yet, if your pool’s tiles are cracked, falling off, or discolored, you might wish your garden caught your guest’s eye this time!
Instead, consider that it might be time to update your pool by installing iridescent pool tiles. Once a luxury reserved for the ultra-rich, iridescent pool tiles have now become one of the most popular pool tile trends of 2024.
You don't need to spend a fortune to create a stunning and inviting pool—just a bit of tile-buying guidance and a few samples from Oasis Tile, and you’re set!
What are Iridescent Pool Tiles?
Iridescent pool tiles appear glossy and emit a rainbow-like variety of colors. As one of the hottest luxury pool trends in 2024, this chameleon-like glass tile is coated with a particular type of enamel or lacquer, which allows light to be reflected in different directions, creating a kaleidoscope of colors that shimmer and reflect sunlight.
These colorful pool tiles come in various palettes, from blue iridescent and emerald green iridescent tiles to aqua, black, and more. These reflective glass tiles are also available in glossy, frosted, and matte finishes.
Though iridescent tiles are often featured in pools, they can also be used in kitchen backsplashes or as part of a spectacular bathroom design, whether in the bathtub, along a shower wall, or behind a sink.
Why Choose Iridescent Pool Tiles?
There are many advantages to selecting iridescent tiles, including the following five reasons:
1. Your Pool Will Shimmer and Glow
Have you ever seen a pool and just wanted to dive right in? With iridescent pool tiles, you can create a mesmerizing water effect that beckons everyone to plunge! Reflected rainbow hues make the pool appear as though it’s glowing from within, adding a touch of wonder to your backyard.
There are many ways to design and create a colorful tile mosaic in your pool using iridescent tiles. Let Oasis Tile help you plan and design your pool with beautiful mosaic tiles, making it the most inviting feature of your home.
2. Iridescent Tiles Make Great Use of Sunlight
Whether you own an infinity-style pool, lap, or plunge pool, sunlight is your best friend in pool design. Iridescent glass tiles deliver excellent value, reflecting and dispersing light without additional installation or effort. Iridescent tiles are the perfect way to get creative and create a unique pool tile design, utilizing all the available sunlight to create a stunning, multi-dimensional effect.
3. Easy to Clean and Maintain
Despite its beauty, tile is only worth buying if it can withstand time and mother nature.
How long does pool tile last? Iridescent tiles are exceptionally hardwearing and easy to maintain. They rarely require replacement and only need a minimal cleaning effort. Their rugged color coating is ideal for withstanding harsh chemicals, and the glass is naturally resistant to mold and mildew buildups along pool water lines. Just a few swipes with soap and warm water are enough to keep them looking their best.
4. Endless Color Mixing Opportunities
No one wants a cookie-cutter pool – and with iridescent tiles, you won't have to settle for one. There is a range of different tile colors to choose from, allowing you to mix and match for the perfect pool tile design. Why not mix 2024’s trendy blue iridescent tiles with this year’s popular emerald green iridescent tiles for a colorful Mediterranean-style pool?
5. A Variety of Shapes and Layouts to Choose From
Iridescent pool tiles can be just as interestingly shaped as they are colored. You don't have to stick with a plain 1x1 square pattern – choose from multi-sized squares, slim green brick tile, and even triangles. There are an endless number of creative glass tile pool layouts you can use to make it look truly unique.
Iridescent Pool Tile Ideas
Now that you know all the benefits of these bright and magical tiles, here’s some iridescent pool tile inspiration. Below are a few examples of how to use these tiles in your design.
Shadow Blue 1x1 Offset Glass Tile
One of the most eye-catching ways to use iridescent tiles is to create an ombre effect in and around your pool. An ombre means a gradual shading or blending from one color to another.
For example, one of the deck pool tile trends in 2024 is using Oasis’s Shadow Blue 1x1 Offset Glass tile, which contains varying shades of blue. These blue gradations enhance the pool deck atmosphere, creating a warm and inviting space. The result is a stunning visual pattern that will capture attention and draw people in.
Blue Green 1x1 Glossy and Iridescent Glass Tile
If you’re unsure which tile color to choose for your pool, why not mix and match?
For example, try the Blue Green 1x1 Glossy and Iridescent Glass Tile, which contains multiple tones for a marbled-like effect. If you can’t decide on a single-colored tile, you can pick your favorite two for a more modern look.
Piazza White Textured 3x3 Iridescent Glass Tile
One of the biggest trends for infinity pools in 2024 is incorporating white tiles. Whether you opt for a completely white pool, an equally popular style this year, or installing a white tile only on the waterline, the effect will be breathtaking!
The Piazza White Textured 3x3 Iridescent Glass Tile is perhaps the prettiest and most coveted among our white tiles. Its textured surface will add a touch of elegance to your infinity pool, and its textured surface will draw the eye to your waterline or wherever you decide to install it.
