Is Your Home Missing a Great Lighting Design? 

Even in new luxury homes, architects and designers may only plan for lighting where it’s necessary to see. All too often, we see houses with drab overhead lights in the center of the ceiling, with no attention paid to how the lighting will influence the feeling of a space.

That’s what lighting design is all about: using lighting to enhance the human experience indoors and outdoors. While most people only think of hiring an electrician for their lighting, a lighting designer considers how light will accentuate your home’s architecture and finishes while improving the mood. 

If you’re building a new house or renovating your Boca Raton, FL, home, here’s how a lighting designer can help.

Highlight Your Home’s Best Features 

Does your house have lovely in-wall bookshelves or a grand staircase? Unique patterns on the ceiling or a modern art collection? Professional lighting designs make certain interior elements ‘pop’ while drawing attention to specific colors and textures. 

By incorporating color-tunable smart lights, we can enhance how fabrics, wall colors, and art appear. We can make everything complement each other so that it all fits into an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.  

Lighting for Daily Life 

But lighting design isn’t only about appearances—it can also assist with your daily activities and needs. A lighting designer considers how you’ll use lighting in different areas and applies lighting accordingly. For instance, at the kitchen table, you don’t want to cast shadows over your dinner or the book you’re reading. Where you watch television, lighting should be easily adjustable to eliminate glare. Lighting design finds the perfect location and light settings for every fixture in the house. 

Plus, your lighting designer can program intelligent lighting scenes that you’ll activate with a press of a button. A “Morning” setting may raise motorized shades and set the lights to a bright, cool white. A “Night” button will dim your lights to a warm, golden tone for ultimate relaxation.
