But as a recessed lighting installation company, we know there are some cases where too much recessed lighting is not good for your Rosemary Beach, FL, home.

Telecommuting is nothing new, as the computer and high-speed internet made it a relatively painless proposition over the past two decades. In the past ten years or so, the maturing of cloud application and communication platforms made it even easier to work from home, and many employers encouraged and supported it on a part-time basis.

Of course, we don't have to mention here how the COVID-19 crisis has pushed working from home into hyper-speed overdrive. After all, before this pandemic, when did you ever see Saturday Night Live skits about Zoom meetings? While working from home is not without its many challenges, many think that companies large and small will be seriously rethinking their workforces, with telecommuting becoming far more prevalent for many information workers.

So, what do you need to work from home effectively? Besides the things you might think about – a distraction-free space, comfortable and ergonomic furniture, and a good equipment setup – have you thought about the lighting? Good lighting makes for a pleasant space to work, while poor lighting can lead to fatigue and a lack of productivity, and you may not even know why. Here are three tips that residential lighting design experts recommend to ensure your Alpharetta, GA home office is a happy and productive workplace.

If you are looking at building a new home or doing some extensive remodeling in Brookhaven, GA, lighting should be one of the high priorities on your list. People often don't pay enough attention to it and settle for standard solutions. The truth is that lighting can be just as much a part of your interior design as wall flooring and countertop materials. 

Some people might work with their builder, architect, interior designer, or electrician – or all of them –for their lighting needs. So what role can a lighting design company play in your project? That’s the subject we’re going to cover here. Please keep reading!

Lighting is an essential part of daily life—it's obvious that you need illumination for a functional home. Beyond the practical aspect, though, lighting also serves aesthetic purposes, as it can frame how you view your spaces. Yet, all too often, not enough attention is often paid to the lighting quality, even in high-end homes. 

What do we mean by the quality of lighting? Many homes get standard lighting fixtures that don't move the needle in terms of the quality of light or how it looks in your home. As a lighting design company, we can show you a world of lighting options well beyond the ordinary for your Alys Beach, FL, home. Let’s look at three ways we can bring a different level of light into your home.

Most homes have some form of recessed lighting. We say "most homes" because older homes in Georgia might have more traditional chandeliers or fixtures centered in the ceiling, along with sconces for decorative lighting. Most modern homes use recessed lighting to provide the base level of ambient light in a room. At its most basic, it might be the "4 cans and a fan" that interior and lighting designers like to joke about. With more sophisticated recessed lighting installations in newer Vinings-area homes, you’ll have a recessed lighting package that provides the right level of ambient illumination for a space. 

Did you know that recessed lighting is much more versatile than the ubiquitous overhead cans? With modern LED lighting, you can use them for task and accent lighting too, and they also have some neat tricks for integrating into your ceilings. Keep reading below to learn about three ways you can use recessed lighting in your Vinings home. 

Lighting control is one of the most sought-after smart home features. We’ve written at length on these pages about the virtues of smart lighting, from energy efficiency to aesthetics and wellness. And while lighting control can be applied to one area of your house or the entire Cumming, GA property, we are a big advocate for whole-home lighting control systems.

Why? The reason is straightforward: The benefits in convenience, luxury, safety, and energy efficiency multiply when you can manage your entire home’s lighting intelligently. And while you might think that it sounds more complicated to do your entire house, you might be surprised to learn that lighting control systems – like those from Lutron – are adaptable for retrofit installation as well as for new construction and major remodels.

Just about every modern home has some recessed lighting. The most common lighting package in homes is recessed lighting "cans" installed in practically every room. They are relatively inexpensive and can efficiently provide all the light intensity most spaces need. 

While the ubiquitous recessed can lighting is an economical and efficient way to provide needed illumination, it's not necessarily the best quality light, nor does it represent the pinnacle in good lighting design to make your Buckhead, GA residence look its best. But that doesn't mean recessed lighting can't be aesthetically pleasing and stylish. On the contrary, today's modular recessed LED lighting is ultra-versatile and can add new dimensions to your home. As a recessed lighting installation company, we know that the right lighting makes all the difference. Learn more below!

Some say it’s always summer in the Florida Panhandle, and it might be tough to argue with that. Nevertheless, there is a summer season.

What does summer have to do with lighting? If you have a whole-home lighting control system, you can make summer more comfortable, efficient, and safer at your home. Let’s talk about three ways you can do that below!
