Embracing the Power of Lighting Design

A lot of our luxury clients go out of their way to select every aspect of their homes, from door knobs to wall finishes. Yet, they don't realize they're settling for generic lighting. Lighting is one of the most important parts of the home. It contributes to well-being, style, and safety.

See the many ways that lighting designers not only invigorate your interior decor but also optimize your everyday lifestyle.

The Role of a Lighting Designer

As you build out your dream home, you've likely hired electricians, engineers, and interior designers. Lighting designers work in the same vein. They join early in the project to design a lighting solution that fits in perfectly with the rest of your home. How does a lighting designer do that?

They combine technical expertise, scientific principles, and industry partnerships to deliver bespoke solutions to their clients.

WHAT DO COLOR TEMPERATURES MEAN?

Lighting Tones

1,700 K

Lower color temperatures are usually warmer, like the red emanating from a match flame.

2,700 - 3,300 K

This softer lighting is a great ambient lighting choice and works well with warm interior colors or wood finishes.

4,100 - 4,150 K

Cool, white lighting is great for task lighting to help you focus in the kitchen or your home office.

5,500 - 6,000 K

Stave off fatigue in the middle of the day with daylight hues that boost your mood and décor.

6,500 K

Our go-to for general lighting in living areas is this grayer tone close to overcast skies.

15,000 - 27,000 K

Use this clear blue lighting sparingly for activities that need immediate focus.

1,850 K

This warm hue is ideal for a candlelit effect for a date night with your spouse.

3,000 K

You get white lighting that facilitates relaxation and reading as we get closer to the neutral scale.

5,000 K

This bright midday hue helps things pop so we recommend it to showcase your art collection or get better surveillance footage.

6,200 K

This bright blue-white hue offers the brightest sunlight effect to energize you in the middle of the day.

6,500 - 10,500 K

These blue hues are great for hyper focused task lighting in workspaces but should be avoided as overhead lighting and late in the day.

Enhance Your Living Spaces with Layered Lighting

Why is it so important to optimize lighting in your Carson City or Reno home? One-tone lighting causes shadows, strained eyesight, and lackluster design. Instead, use diverse fixtures to layer your lighting.

Ambient Light

Your main source of lighting. Ambient lighting should be soft, coming from natural light or recessed ceiling lights.

Task Lighting
Get help accomplishing specific tasks through specialized lighting fixtures like track lights and under-cabinet lights.
Accent Lighting
Highlight your favorite features with lighting fixtures that are three times brighter than ambient lighting. Use them to showcase artwork, furniture, or architectural elements.

  • Daytime

    Use a 'Daytime' lighting scene to help you start the day on the right track. Incorporate white-blue lighting that revitalizes you while shading systems slowly let in sunlight. You will wake up focused, alert, and ready to get your day started.

  • Bedtime

    Ease into bed at the end of the day with a "Bedtime" lighting scene that comes on automatically each night. It uses warm colors to help you relax. The lights slowly dim when it's time for bed to prepare you for a good night's sleep.

  • Entertaining

    Add a spark when you host friends and family. Use a "Party" scene that activates bright hues to keep guests energized even after the sun sets. Add landscape lighting for your outdoor spaces to prevent guests from congregating in one area.

  • Movie Night

    Create a true theater experience with a "Movie" scene that slowly dims the lights when you hit play. Keep decorative lights on for easy movement, and have those lights brighten immediately when someone hits pause to go for a snack break.

What Are Your Lighting Fixture Options?

As we mentioned before, the key to a great lighting design is layering different lights. Relying on the canned ceilings that most homes use is not enough. Below, we outline the top lighting fixtures we use for projects in Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe. They range from traditional recessed lights to beautiful pendants that are as stylish as they are functional.

Our designers combine luxury fixtures to create a layered approach that incorporates ambient, access, and task lighting. Below, we outline each model and its common applications.

How Lighting Control Works

Take control of your lighting with ease and unlock the full potential of your space. A well-designed lighting control system lets you seamlessly manage each fixture. Add layers of ambiance and style to any room while maintaining a cohesive look.

Gain intuitive control from your favorite devices for a beautiful and clutter-free space that speaks for itself. Below are the components that make the magic of lighting control come together.

Interfaces

Personalize your lighting experience with a high-end control system that puts everything at your fingertips. From dedicated touchpads to mobile apps, you can manage lighting your way. Use graphic menus that show the status of every room and allow adjustments with a single tap. Set the perfect intensity, color, and warmth for each fixture or as a group, and save your preferred settings.

Processor

Harness the power of a high-end processor for seamless communication between your devices and fixtures. A premium processor guarantees clear, uninterrupted responsiveness. Every command you give—no matter the device—generates an immediate, precise action.

Our lighting experts assess your unique needs during the design phase. Then, they select the ideal model based on bandwidth and processing power to deliver an effortless, lag-free experience.

Dimming Panels

A professional lighting control system stands apart with its centralized control through dimmer panels. These panels do the heavy lifting, and we install them discreetly in an equipment room or utility closet. Dimmer panels eliminate wall clutter in each room, reduce the need for extensive wiring, and allow for advanced programming. They also streamline power use by controlling not only lights but also fans and motors.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Nothing disrupts a sleek décor like cluttered walls. Smart dimmers and switches solve this with style and precision. These luxury keypads replace bulky banks of switches for a streamlined look that blends seamlessly into any room.

With a single touch, access custom scenes and manage lighting across the entire house. Choose from flush-mounted models in matte, metal, or glass finishes and a wide range of colors to match any aesthetic.
