The Combined Power of Home Automation, Lighting Control, and Interior Design

Interior Designers Use Lighting Control Systems to Add Beauty and Functionality

A growing number of luxury homeowners have different expectations than they did just a decade ago. As many of you know, today’s clients are looking for automated technology that enables them to control their homes with ease and enjoy the many conveniences home automation brings. 

One of these automated features is a lighting control system. Homeowners are looking to control their home’s lighting with just one tap on an in-wall keypad or touchscreen. Some expect their lighting to automatically transform throughout the day, correlating with the changing hue of natural daylight. 

Incorporating this type of technology while maintaining your design and aesthetics is where we come in. At Avidia, we partner with interior decorators in Glencoe, IL, and throughout the Chicagoland area. Our job is to ensure the technology exceeds your client’s expectations and is easy to control while adding to instead of detracting from your design. 

Let’s see how today’s lighting controls add beauty and functionality to your client’s homes.

No More Light Switches

Light switches are replaced with stylish customized keypads. These stunning interfaces offer LED backlighting, making it easy to select the appropriate button. For example, the "Dine" button may set your client's indoor lighting to a hue resembling candlelight while turning on their dining playlist. The “Cook” button might turn on the task lighting in the kitchen, preheat the oven, and switch on the Food Channel.

By taking the time to speak with your clients, we’ll gain an understanding of what programmed buttons best suit their lifestyle. Home automation transforms living spaces because of customized solutions unique to each family’s daily activities. 

Lighting that Transforms Spaces

Lighting is a key element in interior design. It alters the mood of a room, transforming spaces through the use of natural light combined with the correct hue of full-spectrum lighting. The right type of highlighting can draw attention to a beautiful work of art. The right shade can bring out the colors and textures as the artist intended. 

Home automated lighting control can alter the intensity and hue of lighting throughout the day based on the amount of natural light in a room. This type of control allows for unprecedented ease and management of a home’s lighting. Today’s dynamic full-spectrum lighting gives interior designers access to millions of colors, taking lighting to the next level in adding to a home’s décor.

Bringing In the Outdoors

Today, outdoor spaces have become extensions of our homes. The right landscape lighting highlights water features, brings attention to a home’s architectural beauty, and transforms a yard into an enchanting area for gathering with friends and family. 

Depending on the placement and color, pendants, lanterns, moon lamps, and string lights can create an intimate ambiance or a party theme. When tunable, full-spectrum LED lighting is combined with a home automation system, homeowners can change the feel of their outdoor areas with one touch on a designated touchscreen, tablet, or smartphone. 

As the leading Chicagoland home technology integrator, Avidia works with numerous interior designers, helping them bring their homes to the next level of functionality and design through home automation. To schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Avidia today.
