When to consider lighting in your design

We recommend lighting in any solution – there are so many benefits! Task lighting can be a critical element for function in a space, especially if it’s a high-traffic area like a closet or kitchen pantry. Understanding key areas for light placement can create desired shadows or eliminate dark spots. Accent lighting is best used to highlight treasured items, adding beauty to the design and setting a mood.

The benefits of LED lighting

We offer long-lasting LED lights because they are powerful, energy-efficient, and generate a minimal amount of heat. Not only do we offer warm and cool LED lighting, but we also offer a tunable option that lets the customer set the color temperature to suit their preference or to match existing lighting in the room. The tunable light also offers the option to change the color temperature based on the time of day or natural light in the space.

Common misconceptions about lighting applications

You may not realize the extent to which lighting affects the function and design of a space. Lighting is especially important in task areas, like a home office or craft room. Adequate closet lighting can also help distinguish darker clothing items. Whether you add under cabinet lighting, up lighting, down lighting, or ribbon or puck lights, lighting can change the mood of a room with the touch of a button. It has the ability to elevate any design.

The best lighting application for achieving a dramatic impact

Sometimes the simplest lighting addition can make the most impact, like illuminating a dark laundry room or linen closet. From a design standpoint, nothing is more dramatic than a gorgeous shoe collection on display under a flood of LED puck or strip lighting – even better, behind a set of glass doors for a coveted boutique look!

When to use dimmers

We offer multiple switching options with dimmers based on the needs and complexity of the design. Dimmer switches are ideal for softening light when intensity is not necessary or for changing the intensity to suit the time of day. We often recommend choosing a higher-intensity light with a dimmer so you have flexible control over the settings.

Other ways to incorporate lighting

Consider layering lighting to create the best effect. In a closet, neither function nor aesthetics should work alone. Combining both in lighting creates depth and beauty – in addition to function. It’s important to assess the needs and the desired effect to create the best solution.
