Decorate Your Pool Area for the Holidays

The holiday season is a time for bringing warmth and cheer to every corner of your home—and your pool area is no exception! At Triangle Swimming Pools, we have many clients with smaller properties, and their pool area is an enjoyable part of their holiday decor.


Whether you’re hosting a festive gathering or simply enjoying the beauty of the season with your family, decorating your pool area can transform it into a magical holiday retreat. Here are some creative and practical ideas to make your pool area the star of your holiday decor.


1. Light It Up!

Nothing says "holiday magic" quite like twinkling lights. String LED lights around your pool fence, deck railings, and nearby trees to create a cozy, illuminated atmosphere being careful to keep electrical cords and lights away from the water. Opt for classic white lights for an elegant look or choose colorful options for a playful vibe.


2. Add a Touch of Greenery

Bring holiday greenery to your outdoor space with garlands, wreaths, or potted evergreen plants. These can be draped over poolside furniture, hung on fences, or arranged near the pool entrance for a fresh and festive feel. Consider adding a few sprigs of holly, pinecones, or ornaments to your arrangements for extra charm.


3. Pool-Friendly Holiday Decorations

Floating holiday decorations like inflatable snowmen, floating candles, or even waterproof ornaments can make your pool a central feature of your holiday setup. Look for sturdy, waterproof decor that can handle the elements and maintain its festive look.


4. Cozy Up the Seating Area

Transform your poolside seating into a holiday haven with seasonal cushions, blankets, and throws. Choose weather-resistant fabrics in rich holiday colors like deep reds, greens, or metallics. For an extra special touch, add some outdoor-safe lanterns or candleholders for ambiance.


5. Create a Festive Tablescape

If your pool area includes a dining space, set the table with holiday-themed decor. Think red and green tablecloths, centerpieces with candles and pinecones, or dishes adorned with winter motifs. If you’re in a warmer climate, mix holiday decor with tropical touches, like poinsettias paired with palm fronds.


6. Don't Forget the Music

Set the tone with seasonal tunes! Use outdoor speakers to play your favorite holiday playlist. The right music will make your pool area feel festive, whether you’re sipping hot cocoa or hosting a holiday barbecue.


7. Warm It Up

If the temperature dips, consider adding an outdoor heater or fire pit to keep your pool area cozy and inviting. A fire pit also creates a natural gathering spot and looks beautiful when surrounded by holiday decor.


8. Embrace the Local Spirit

Finally, consider incorporating decorations that reflect your local style. Here in North Carolina, you might opt for rustic touches like burlap bows, wooden ornaments, or handmade crafts that blend holiday charm with a Southern vibe.


With a little creativity and some holiday spirit, your pool area can become a stunning extension of your holiday home. Whether it’s an intimate family evening or a lively holiday gathering, a well-decorated pool area will help you make unforgettable memories.


From everyone at Triangle Swimming Pools, we wish you a warm, joyful, and beautifully decorated holiday season!
