Creating a Backyard Oasis with Pool Area Lighting

From the resort amenities and spa, to an evening swim under a moonlit pool waterfall, it is undeniable that vacations are amazing. Though it may seem like there’s no way you could ever be this relaxed at home, there is one element that can make a world of difference and turn your pool area into a backyard oasis.

Pool area lighting makes the environment! The right warmth, placement and styles of outdoor lighting can make you feel like you’re on vacation even when you aren’t. At Signature Illumination Designs, our team of installation experts can install lights that create a resort-style environment in your own backyard, so you can have that vacation vibe any time you want.

During the day, a swimming pool brings hours of relaxation in the refreshing waters, but that relaxation doesn’t have to end when the sun sets. Pool area lighting extends the use of your pool into the evening hours so you can enjoy your favorite at-home amenity even longer. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic evening with your spouse, playing with your kids in the pool or hosting a party for friends, lighting adds ambiance to the environment. The warmth, comfort and relaxation of pool area lighting creates a magical atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Our team designs customized solutions for every project, so you can rest assured that your pool area will be a unique oasis, unlike any other. When we come out to walk through the property with you, we’ll talk through your specific needs and wishes. If you loved the tiki lights from Hawaii, or the natural moonlight from the Bahamas, we’ll discuss the best way to implement those in your home so you can enjoy some of your favorite features.

With safety as our primary concern, we’ll install submersible LED lights into your pool to ensure all swimmers can see their surroundings while in the pool. Our submersible lights come in a variety of colors and have the option for color- changing lights to mimic the tones of your favorite resort.

Next, we’ll focus on the ambiance surrounding the pool. Our team will install cutting-edge lighting fixtures that combine beauty with functionality. In these homes we installed uplights and downlights in the trees that shimmer off the pool, creating a peaceful backyard space. We also installed garden bed lights at the base of the shrubs and wall-mounted lights on the exterior of the homes to bring warmth to the environment. Pool deck lighting, fire pits and string lights are additional poolside options depending on your style and requests!

Finally, one of our favorite techniques to implement a resort-style feel in your pool area is moonlighting. Moonlighting is a technique that provides a light glow and creates shadows resembling the natural light of the moon. So, whether you’re sitting by the pool chatting, or going for a nighttime swim, the subtle moonlights won’t create a glare or distract from the peaceful atmosphere.

Whatever your preferences, contact us to discuss how we can use lighting to create a luxurious resort feel in your own backyard.
