Lighting
Why Is Lighting Important?
We often don’t notice lighting in our daily lives but we definitely notice when it’s missing. From offering practical utility to accentuating beautiful features, lighting serves an important purpose. It helps keep us safe by illuminating things like stair cases and basements and it helps us feel warm and cozy in our homes by adding ambient colour temperatures. Lighting has come a long way in recent years with the advent of new technologies such as LEDs and dimmers. We now have the ability to control our entire home lighting system from our fingertips from anywhere in the world thanks to smart home systems such as Lutron Casetta. There are many customer lighting features you can implement in your home to drastically change the look and feel of both your interior and exterior design features.
Custom Lighting
When renovating your home you should always take a serious consideration as to what type of lighting you require and what you desire. You will need lighting to illuminate your work surfaces and walking areas. But you may also want to consider special lighting features such as in-cabinet or over-cabinet lighting to help highlight the beautiful features of your custom cabinet designs.
Different Types of Lighting
| Landscape Lighting Helps illuminate garden features, vegetation and various landscape designs. They offer increased security and comfort but increasing visibility of hard to see areas outside of your home. |  |
 | Pot Lights and Utility Lighting Pot lights offer incredible area lighting with the ability to be installed almost universally. While they aren’t often used as a decorative feature, they are excellent at dispersing light in common living areas. Though, they can sometimes be used to direct lighting at artwork or furniture.

| Cabinet Lighting Cabinet lighting can be installed above, below and even inside of the cabinetry. It can be used to feature fine dishwaters or highlight beautiful cabinetry. |  |
 | Custom Fixtures Not all lights are meant to serve a practical purpose. Sometimes they are simply used as beautiful pieces of art! A chandelier installed on a multi-story room can add depth and character to your interior design. |
| Soffit Lighting Another way to increase security of your home and show off incredible exterior features such as brick work, archways and more. |  |
 | Backdrop Lighting Often over looked, but never under appreciated. Back lighting is a subtle way to create a visual pop of the item being back-lit. |
