When choosing a spa, the design might seem like a purely aesthetic decision, but the shape of your spa plays a huge role in how easy it is to maintain, how efficiently it uses space, and how well it integrates with your overall backyard or indoor layout. Square and rectangle spas have advantages over those with curvier or more intricate designs. Here’s why opting for a simple-shaped spa can be a smart and stylish choice.

1. Easier to Maintain

Maintenance is often the most overlooked aspect when purchasing a spa. Cleaning and upkeep are much easier with simple shapes like squares and rectangles. They have fewer nooks and crannies. Curved designs can lead to awkward spaces that are difficult to reach when cleaning. Algae, dirt, and debris will collect in these hard-to-reach areas, making the cleaning process more time-consuming and complex. On the other hand, straight edges are simple to access, making it easier to scrub down and maintain.

2. Space-Saving

Whether you’re installing a spa indoors or outdoors, space efficiency is always a priority. Square and rectangular spas make the most of the available area, providing more usable space compared to their curved counterparts.

  • Maximising corner space: Square or rectangular spas can easily be tucked into corners, optimising your layout. In contrast, round or oblong shapes can leave awkward gaps or require more floor space to achieve the same seating capacity. This means a simpler spa design can offer the same functionality while occupying less room, which is particularly valuable if you have a small backyard, patio, or indoor area.
  • Better for seating: Many spa owners prioritise seating capacity and comfort, and square or rectangular designs often allow for better seating arrangements. Straight lines allow for benches and loungers to be laid out more efficiently, without wasting space. In contrast, curved designs may sacrifice seating capacity in favour of aesthetics, making simpler designs more practical in terms of usability.

3. Aesthetic Appeal

Simple doesn’t mean boring—especially when it comes to modern spa designs. Spas with square or rectangular shapes offer a sleek, minimalist look that complements a wide variety of landscaping or indoor decor styles.

  • Timeless design: Geometric shapes tend to have a timeless quality to them. Whether your space is modern, traditional, or something in between, a simple spa will blend effortlessly with your surroundings. This makes it easier to match the spa with existing outdoor features, furniture, or indoor decor, and it ensures that the spa won’t look dated after a few years.
  • Symmetry and balance: Simple shapes are more visually harmonious, creating a sense of symmetry and balance in your space. While intricate designs may be eye-catching initially, they can sometimes appear busy. A square or rectangular spa provides a clean, structured focal point that’s both elegant and functional.

They’re easier to clean, allow for more efficient use of space, and have a timeless design that complements almost any setting.
