Room by room

How Should Each Room in a House Be Lit?

Every room does a different job, so each one gets its own plan. Kitchens need clear task light on counters plus softer light for gathering. Living rooms combine ceiling light with lamps and accents. Bedrooms want calm light with reading light at the bed. Home offices need even light that keeps you focused, and home theaters need light that dims away when the movie starts.

We design whole homes, helping you choose fixtures that match your style and placing them so they work together.

Fixtures

Recessed, Pendant, Cove and Shelf Lighting Explained

Recessed lights give clean, even light without visible fixtures. Pendants bring light down to a counter or table and add style. Cove lighting hides in ceiling recesses and washes the ceiling with a soft glow. Shelf lighting turns built in cabinets and collections into a display.

How Do You Light Artwork at Home?

Art lighting is about putting the right amount of light on a piece without glare or hot spots. We aim adjustable fixtures so paintings, sculptures and niches stand out, and choose a color of light that keeps the colors in the art true.

Control

Dimmers and LED Lamps for Easier Living

We install LED lamps and simple controls such as dimmers so each room can go from bright to relaxed in a second. Our indoor and outdoor products are UL approved, and LEDs cut energy use while lasting far longer than older bulbs. For whole home scenes and app control, see smart home lighting controls.

Questions

Interior Lighting Design FAQ

Do you help choose interior light fixtures?

Yes. We help you select fixtures that match your style, then plan where each goes so the room is lit evenly.

Can you add recessed lighting to an existing home?

In many homes, yes. We look at the ceiling and the wiring during the walk through and tell you what is possible.

Do you design lighting for the whole house or single rooms?

Both. Some clients start with one room, like a kitchen, and others want a plan for every room of the home.
