Lighting Fixtures & Control Options

Many homeowners consider their interior design to include paint colors, window coverings, and flooring choices, but lighting plays a significant impact as well. The right lighting fixtures, smart controls, and strategic placement can elevate any home's sophistication and enhance architectural details. Our team incorporates these and many other control and fixture options:

• Downlights: These fixtures use directed, adjustable light and are typically flush-mounted within the ceiling. Available in round or square shapes, they complement aesthetics while adding purpose.

• Lamps: Available in various styles to suit your décor, these lights are easily moved and adjusted throughout rooms.

• Linears and lightbars: Great for under-cabinet lighting and adding a modern touch.

• Chandeliers: Bold statement pieces that serve as a focal point in any room.

• Dimmers: Adjust brightness to suit different activities and times of day.

• Lighting Controls: Integrate all your home’s lighting into a streamlined system for easy management via keypads, touchscreens, smart remotes, and voice commands.

Customizing Your Florida Home’s Lighting

Modern fixtures are customizable to complement your design aesthetic, either blending into or standing out amongst your home’s unique details as you desire. Fixtures and control keypads come in a range of finishes, including gold, bronze, or black, and in various sizes and shapes. Incorporating smart lighting control lets you customize beyond the fixture itself, personalizing how your lights operate on a minute-by-minute basis.

Benefits of Lighting Control Systems:

• Smart Scenes: Programmable scenes adjust multiple lights with a single button press. For example, a “bedtime” scene could turn off all kitchen lights except one, simplifying your nighttime routine.

• Elegant Keypads: Replace rows of light switches with sleek keypads that reduce wall clutter and enhance décor.

• Remote Access: Control lighting from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet, ensuring your home is always perfectly lit, even when you're away.

Lighting Adds New Dimension to Your Home

Add depth and dimension to your home with lighting that showcases your property in its best light. Include dimmers to create contrast and set the mood, while tunable lights allow you to adjust the color temperature to mimic natural sunlight. For example, warmer, orange-toned lights create a calm atmosphere for winding down and relaxing during the evening, while cooler, blue-toned lights are perfect for focused daytime activities. With these layers of dimension, you can transform your home into a sophisticated and inviting space.
