Last week, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater and Tampa Bay showed you how, with just a little creativity, we can turn any pool area into a personal oasis with Tampa Bay pool area lighting. This week, we want to show you more details of that install. Why? It is a uniquely styled space, and these clients didn’t stop in the pool area. With outdoor lighting, they transformed their backyard into inviting, elegant outdoor living spaces that are sure to be the envy of many. So let’s walk through the area and see what they added to create their perfect outdoor living area.
Since we discussed the pool area last week, let’s start there. Here, we stand near the pool and patio. Strategically placed path lights throw light onto the walkway around the pool, giving a clear view of the walkway. The clients’ palm trees stand out sharply against the night sky. Using uplighting techniques and spotlights, we were able to highlight the particular beauty of their leaves.
Let’s move on to the fire pit area. Here fixtures have been anchored underneath the seating, allowing light to shine on the ground surrounding the fire pit and helping guests avoid missteps.
Lighting was also needed at the back deck. Like the pool area, step lights were embedded in the side of the deck so that the path and pool edges can be clearly seen.
Uplighting was used again for this triad of trees. Positioned near the wall, this technique not only highlights the trees but also creates mesmerizing shadows behind them.
Notice that all of the lighting utilized in this design is positioned and aimed low, with the exception of the tree lighting. The design emphasizes the beautiful, minimalist lines of the walkway, decks, and pool. It also helps bring this rather large outdoor living area together. Low lighting helps to underscore the style of the area, which is beautiful simplicity rather than drama.
