How we illuminate our homes has changed dramatically over the last several years. Gone are the light switches, invented in 1884, and in their place are elegant in-wall custom-engraved keypads and beautiful high-resolution touchscreens.

We no longer light our rooms with soft or bright white lights but with every color in the visible spectrum—millions of shades of precise and pure light at our fingertips. We press the 'Dinner' button, and the lights in the dining area look like candlelight. We touch the ‘Natural Light’ icon, and our lighting reflects the color of the natural world outside, changing as the sun’s light changes.

Working with an expert home lighting consultant can produce the perfect setting for every event and mood while creating a healthier home. Let's look at some of the possibilities for your Seattle, WA, home.

How do you know if the lighting in your home is doing its job? Like many things in life, you know it’s working when you don’t notice it. Over the years, we’ve talked to many clients about the lighting issues that become a daily annoyance, from glare on the TV to lack of task lighting for homework or doing dishes.

Over the years, though, one area of the home seems to be the biggest culprit: the bathroom. When you stay at a hotel, how often are you surprised about the amount and quality of lighting by the sink or shower? The bathroom has so many unique uses that simple overhead lights just won’t do the job.

So how can you embrace a more elevated lighting design in your bathroom? As a home lighting consultant serving Seattle, WA and the surrounding areas, we have some tips on using layered lighting and color temperature for the perfect illumination every time. You can also check these bathroom lighting tips in action in our video tutorial.

Lighting is one of those things you tend to notice when it’s not right. If you ever house-hunted in Bellevue in the winter months, you know how dark the Washington days can be. If you walked into a house with shades drawn and dim lighting, chances are your impression of that property wasn’t very good. But if you walk into a home with beautifully layered lighting, it will just feel right. And it won’t matter how rainy and dark it is outside!

A home lighting consultant can help you design the right blend of lighting for every space in your home. With today’s LED lighting technology and sophisticated control, it's easier and more efficient than ever to create custom illumination for every area.
