LIGHTING & MOTORIZED SHADES
Lighting Design
Lighting Design is one of the most important elements to achieving your desired decor. When an electrical drawing is permitted for your home, typically a base lighting design is created to meet various code requirements. From here, working with an experienced lighting designer to collaborate your ideas with is essential to making each room feel thought-out, well-lit, and visually stunning.
Motorized Shades & Draperies
The Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater area boasts numerous homes, condos, and high-rises with stunning waterfront views. Along with these views comes intense sunlight and heat from the rising and setting sun. By motorizing your windows with shades and draperies, you can easily control the light and heat in your living spaces with just one touch. Thoughtfully designed, these motorized window treatments can also be hidden in recessed pockets, jambs, or valences for a seamless, modern look.
Color Tunable Lighting
Choosing the right lighting color temperatures for your living spaces is an emerging technology that is truly mind blowing. Color temperatures can range anywhere from 1500 to 7500 kelvins. Leading the way in this category is Lutron Ketra which allows your lighting fixtures and bulbs to intelligently adjust either at your choosing, or automatically based on the time of day.
Lighting Control Systems
In a custom home, controlling all of your lights with individual dimmers and switches can be a huge undertaking. Large banks of switches clutter your decorative walls, and setting the mood can become a nightly chore. Lighting control systems such as Lutron Homeworks QS or RadioRa alleviate this problem with the ability to create lighting scenes that intelligently control all of the lights in your home with a single press from an elegant looking keypad or your mobile device.
LED & RGB Lighting
LED and RGB Lighting are a popular form of design that can be incorporated into a wide variety of spaces. Things like cove lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and linear lights just to name a few. When selecting these types of lights, be sure to find out what color they come in. Some may operate solely in White, or RGB only, or both. Furthermore, ask the question - how are you able to control the changing of the colors? Can it be incorporated into your smart home automation system or does it use a separate remote or app?
