Do you crave movement after dinner? Harvard Health reports that getting a little exercise at night may help you fall asleep faster and spend more time in deep sleep.
Before you head out after sunset to take a dip, you'll need to make some adjustments for nighttime pool safety. With upgrades like decorative pool lighting, you can also create unparalleled ambiance.
What do the most luxurious nighttime pools need? Read on to extend that backyard oasis into the evening hours.
Outdoor Pool Lighting Options
First and foremost, you'll need to get creative with your outdoor lighting. For the best results, we recommend using a combination of pool interior lights and landscaping lights. That way, the pool is well lit and so are the surrounding pathways.
Innovative pool technology makes finding the perfect lighting a breeze. Some of your modern options include:
- Color-changing LED lights with app-based controls
- Solar-powered torch lighting for pathways
- Strip lighting for stairs
Connect lights to a single timer or on/off switch to make illuminating your pool a breeze. If you don't want to dampen your view of the stars, opt for shielded, warm-toned lights over upward-facing lights.
Ambient Enhancements for Nighttime Pools
Maybe you're less interested in swimming laps and more interested in kicking back and relaxing. Nighttime pools have the power to create ambiance that transforms the poolside experience.
To create the ideal twilit vibe, consider a backyard pool upgrade that includes:
- Weather-resistant Bluetooth speakers for soothing music
- Outdoor gas firepits for instant warmth
- Floating lights that add color and movement to your backyard oasis
With the right features, you can easily transition from quiet relaxation to party mode and back again. Your backyard will be the ultimate chill spot for friends, family, and neighbors.
Luxury Poolside Amenities for Nighttime Entertainment
No nighttime pool is complete without luxury amenities that bring the entertainment. Our landscaping and hardscaping services make it easy to incorporate these amenities so that they can be enjoyed poolside or from the deck.
For example, no nighttime pool is complete without an outdoor kitchen or swim-up bar. Guests can enjoy cocktails and food without ever stepping out of the pool. Plus, you can deck out your outdoor kitchen with all your favorite appliances, whether that's a simple fridge or a full oven.
Want to watch your favorite shows while enjoying the evening air? Tech Radar has a great breakdown of the pros and cons of an outdoor TV vs. a projector screen. Host unforgettable movie nights or watch the big game while lounging on your deck or floating in the pool.
