How Do You Define Luxury?

If you wanted to add luxury to your home, what would you do to achieve this? Is it clearing out the clutter and designing with a sleek and modern style, or is it adding unique features that look like priceless pieces of art? No matter how you define luxury, the right lighting features can add another dimension of beauty to your design.

Here are some considerations for how to add luxury with lighting. 

• Choose finishes or materials that feel luxurious to you - perhaps gold, black, or crystal.
• Choose unique fixtures that give the appearance of sophistication.
• Choose large fixtures, such as chandeliers that capture the attention of guests.
• Eliminate wall clutter by installing a simple keypad versus a line of light switches.
• Connect lighting to a Lutron lighting control system for dimming and mood-setting capability.

Choose a Variety of Lighting Sources

Create a feeling of luxury by choosing the proper lighting for the senses in each room of your home. For instance, you may want to add downlights in the living room for a calmer environment during evening hours. In the bedroom, you may prefer lamps for reading at night. In the kitchen, under-cabinet linear fixtures or lightbars make the perfect addition for functionality, and in the main entry, a large custom chandelier will make a welcome statement for visitors.

Choose lighting sources as you'd like, and also consider how those lights could be brightened or dimmed on occasion to meet the moment's needs. For example, you can host a dinner party with lights dimmed to candlelight or wake each morning to a dim glow simulating the rising sun.

Home Security

As a Lutron dealer, we pride ourselves on helping clients optimize their lighting systems for beauty and function. For example, there is nothing more beneficial to a home security system than having a timed lighting system to deter criminals. With Lutron's lighting control system, you can schedule lights throughout your home to turn on and off at certain times, resembling how your home would look if you were there. In addition, outside lighting can enhance the security of your home by illuminating walkways, stairs, pools, or other outdoor areas.
