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?

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.

All of these things are examples of lighting not being up for the task at hand, whether it’s working, relaxing, cooking, reading, or trying to find your way down a dark hallway. Good residential lighting design is part art and part science, and when done correctly, your Atlanta, GA home will shine – pardon the pun.
