Without a Lighting Design

Lighting without a professional design isn’t planned for the human experience. Many architects or home builders have lights installed geometrically, which may look like rows of recessed lights in the ceiling or a lighting fixture in the center of the room.

A geometric layout may technically provide enough light to see, but it does nothing for atmosphere or customization. For instance, centered lights may cast shadows over the dinner table while you’re eating, or in your office, light may hit the back of your head rather than the desk. Furthermore, without a lighting design, you won’t enjoy multiple layers of light that you can change for specific activities. 

With a Lighting Design

A lighting designer does more than install lights. We create a better life experience in your home.

Before we start, we’ll discuss your home’s layout and where you plan for furniture, wall decorations, and activities to take place. Next, we’ll ask about your preferences and lifestyle habits. And from there, we’ll design a lighting layout that provides the perfect amount of light while making your house look its best. 

A lighting design may include features like linear lighting under cabinets or steps on the stairs. We’ll plan for ambient light that illuminates the entire space alongside task lights and decorative accent lighting. Plus, we can include motorized shades to harvest natural light without any input required from you.

Beyond layout, we program smart lighting systems to customize your lights’ brightness and color temperature. Why? Perhaps your art collection would look best under cool, bright lighting, and nights in the living room will feel most inviting with a dim, golden vibe. We’ll help you use smart lighting scenes to adjust LED lights and linear lighting anytime.

Interior Design’s Special Ingredient

We believe lighting design is the key to jaw-dropping interiors. If you’d like to create a home that’s both beautiful and comfortable to live inside, a lighting design will take your space to the next level.
