Is your home theater in dire need of a makeover? Are you tired of watching movies on outdated technology that just doesn't cut it anymore? 

If so, you're not alone. Many homeowners are looking to upgrade their home theaters to match the high standards of modern cinema. But where do you start? Let's dive into the essential components of a home theater remodel that will elevate your entertainment experience in Bellevue, WA, to a whole new level.

Adding smart home technology to new developments isn’t just a passing trend. For designers, architects, and builders, collaborating with smart home integrators can transform ambitious concepts into real, cutting-edge living spaces that truly stand out to clients. Here’s how a Seattle smart home integrator can make developer dreams come true and turn smart homes into a reality.

Outdoor lighting is about more than safety and security (although that’s important, of course). Tastefully designed landscape lights accentuate your home and outdoor areas in an all-new light, bringing comfort and warmth to areas that otherwise would be hidden in shadows. And as we head into winter, creating a warmer atmosphere is more important than ever.

To achieve such luxurious outdoor lighting, you’ll need more than a porch light or pair of string lights. Partnering with a smart lighting company like Wipliance in Medina, WA, provides a tailored design and installation that lets you customize the mood anytime.

Here’s our process behind designing, installing, and programming outdoor smart lighting!

What makes a party special? Any great host knows that lighting is key to setting the perfect atmosphere for any festivity—right along with the music, food, and company. When lighting is an afterthought, it can make your get-togethers feel lackluster or entirely uncomfortable.

Even during a socially distant season, where parties are reduced to small groups or celebrated virtually, you can create an evening to remember within your Kirkland, WA home with the right lighting controls and fixtures. Below are some key tips on how to enhance the fun for any celebration using Lutron lighting control.

Over the last several months, products from cars to game consoles to home appliances have hit a supply snag. Tech across all industries, including custom integration, is low in stock but high in demand, making it hard for homeowners to get the products they want—especially as we enter the holiday season.

You might be asking: What’s causing the shortage of popular home technology and AV products in Seattle, WA, and beyond? What can a homeowner do to combat the long wait times for their anticipated projects? Our smart home consultants at Wipliance weigh in below.

Seattle city life provides several advantages over suburbia. Cheaper transportation, bustling nightlife, and eclectic restaurants are just to name a few. Often, however, city condos are smaller and more compact than suburban homes and lack some options for personalization.

Even so, you don’t have to settle for less when it comes to your home entertainment and smart technology needs. Our team at Wipliance can help you design a tech-savvy condo with concealed components, cabling, and controls that add to the beauty and functionality of your space.

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.

Motorized shades offer extreme convenience. With one touch of a button, you can lower or raise every shade in one room or your entire home. They can also be automatically programmed to open and close based on the time of day, the location of the sun, and the temperature in a room. 

These window coverings enhance privacy and security; protect flooring, furniture, and artwork from damaging UV rays; and add beauty and elegance to your home. They can also dramatically reduce energy consumption. 

This last benefit led the federal government to include Hunter Douglas Shades in the federal tax credit supporting the purchase of energy-efficient products. Let’s explore this great opportunity for homeowners in Bellevue, WA.

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.

LED tape lights have become a popular lighting design motif in recent years, appearing in many homes across Washington. The flexible, thin LED strips add a touch of light under cabinets, around mirrors and TVs, and inside bookshelves—virtually anywhere you want. But to date, controlling tape light has been its own issue. There hasn’t been a simple, sophisticated way to intelligently control tape lights—until Lumaris. 

Lumaris is Lutron’s first tape lighting solution that allows users to remotely adjust the color temperature and intensity, creating a range of moods and effects. As a Lutron dealer in the Liberty Lake, WA, area, Wipliance can provide your home with Lutron and other smart lighting solutions.
