As professional lighting installers, we have the ability to strategically place your lights in the right spots to not only illuminate your spaces but also highlight and complement d&eacute;cor. Downlights for example can be placed in the kitchen under cabinets to brighten your beautiful marble countertops, or even near your hanging artwork to bring attention to your favorite pieces. We&rsquo;ll also ensure each light is evenly spaced and distributed so that every area has coverage. If you enjoy spending time outside, outdoor lighting can help illuminate your driveway, gardens, pool, or patio.</span></p> <ol> <li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Schedule Your Shades to Operate at the Right Times</span></strong></li> </ol> <p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Once you&rsquo;ve invested in home furnishings, it&rsquo;s equally important to protect them. Window treatments help preserve your chairs, couches, and artwork since they block harmful UV rays. Solar shades are made of a special material that is able to let in light, but prevent the sun&rsquo;s rays from harming your home. Double roller applications allow you to use two different types of shades for various uses. We can install a blackout shade for when you want complete privacy or want to enjoy a movie, and also a solar shade for the daytime when you want to let some natural light in but also keep your furnishings in top condition. </span></p> <ol> <li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Set the Mood with Customizable Controls</span></strong></li> </ol> <p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Lighting levels are a big part of setting the mood in your home. Bright lighting can invigorate you while soft lighting can make you feel relaxed. Our dimmers make it easy to enhance your lighting and control your environment for every occasion. Reduce the lighting level for a romantic dinner with your partner, or turn them all the way up to full capacity for a high-energy workout in your home gym. Of course, you can always experience the magic of automation as well by integrating your lighting with other functions. Using your control system, save settings together &ndash; dim the chandelier in the dining room, turn on the jazz playlist, and set the thermostat to a cozy 74. Hit one button and you&rsquo;re ready for a relaxing night in. All you need is a nice bottle of wine.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your motorized shades can also play a part in making your home a cozy and inviting space. Sync your shades and lights together so that when the sun is bright, you get to enjoy the natural brilliance by opening the shades and dimming the artificial lights. Then as the sun sets, your shades will draw to give your family privacy and the lights will slowly get brighter until evening comes.</span></p> <p>SEE ALSO: <a href="http://www.controldesigner.com/index.php/blog/item/how-to-control-your-smart-home-with-your-voice">How to Control Your Home with Your Voice</a></p> <ol> <li><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Automate Your Home with Lighting</span></strong></li> </ol> <p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;">Lights can be automated with local weather and time of day to brighten or lower at needed times.&nbsp; With occupancy sensors, lights can turn on and off automatically once you walk in or leave a room.&nbsp; With time of day, lights can turn on at low levels to create pathways in the middle of the night or turn on high levels when you want to clean.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Would you like us to install a lighting and shading control system in your home?
