If you’re unsure if switching to a smart lighting solution is worth it, check out these three advantages that smart lights can bring to your Freeport, FL, home.

In Florida, every home needs a solution for managing the sun. Years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to see interiors that looked dark as homeowners drew drapes, closed shades, and lowered blinds in an effort to keep the heat out of their Santa Rosa beach homes. Today, we have better, less cave-like ways to manage the sun and enjoy it, too! One of those ways is with custom motorized shades, which you can automate to take advantage of natural light when you want it and keep the sun out when you don’t.

When it comes to motorized shade options, it’s hard to beat Lutron. The company offers eight different powered window treatment styles and a host of control options. But the designer choice is the Palladiom line, which exudes panache from the shades to the elegant control keypads. Learn more about this stylish motorized shade line below!

What can't you get with those mostly DIY solutions? Admittedly, some of the experiences will be the same. App control? Check - what isn’t these days? Voice control? Check, with the ubiquitous Alexa, Google, or Siri. Smart wall dimmers? Yes. Tunable white and color lighting? Even that.

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. With it comes deliciously warm Gulf water at the beach, long days, and lots of sun and heat. Like millions of Americans, chances are you might do a little summer travel too, which could take you away from your Destin home. 

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! 

If you’re building, remodeling, or simply tired of the current window treatments in your living areas, you might be overwhelmed with all the choices available for window covering options. As with most things, one of the best ways to start the process is to think about how you actually use your living spaces. For most people, these rooms are for relaxing, socializing, and entertaining – but some of these uses will rank higher in importance than others.

Then we have the practical and aesthetic considerations, such as light control, energy efficiency, and décor and style. Does this sound like a lot? Maybe, but let the custom window treatment experts at GHT Group help with a few suggestions for your Roswell, GA home. Ready? Explore four popular options below. 

Most larger homes have a significant amount of built-in lighting. There are recessed downlights, niche lights, under-counter lighting, accent lights, switched plugs for lamps, and much more. All those lights add up to lots of switches. In the design trade, too many wall switches are sometimes called "wall acne."

Needless to say, no one likes acne. But there is a way to ditch those switches and replace them with lighting controls that not only meld with your décor but also become a stylish part of it. Replacing your switches with an intelligent whole-home lighting control system and smart keypads will make it so much easier to manage your Duluth, GA home’s illumination.
