Lighting Design

Creating a stunning home requires more than wall coverings and furniture—lighting is crucial, too. It should highlight architectural features, showcase high-end furnishings, and make colors pop. Well-designed lighting also enhances daily life, elevates your mood, and aids in completing tasks. Hire a professional to optimize your lighting design and control for a luxurious lifestyle and residence.

Control Light in Layers

Avoid strained eyesight, obtrusive shadows, and inflexible spaces with a one-tone lighting design. Incorporate ambient, task, and accent lighting for a visually balanced and versatile environment.
Ambient Light
Flood the entire room with gentle illumination from natural sunlight, recessed ceiling lights, or pendant fixtures.
Task Lighting
For reading, cooking, and other activities, utilize pendant lights, desk lamps, or under-cabinet lights for bright, focused lighting.
Accent Lighting
Draw attention to artwork, photos, and architectural features with accent lights that are significantly brighter than ambient lighting.
  • Daytime

    Start your morning routine with a "Daytime" lighting scene that automatically activates at 9 am. As you enter your home office, bright white-blue ambient lights and desk lights create an environment optimized for focus and concentration.

  • Bedtime

    Prepare for restorative sleep with a "Bedtime" lighting scene that you can queue from a bedside remote or tablet. As the lights dim gradually, they transition to a warm, amber hue that promotes relaxation.

  • Entertaining

    Host in style with a "Party" lighting scene that illuminates the kitchen and living room in atmospheric, rainbow colors. Include landscape lighting to encourage guests to enjoy your beautiful outdoor spaces.

  • Movie Night

    Transform your theater into the perfect viewing environment with a “Movie Night” lighting scene on your handheld remote or touchpad that dims recessed lights and decorative sconces while turning on floor track lighting for safe movement during the movie.

Architectural Fixtures

To achieve a successful layered lighting design, we apply a variety of lighting fixtures throughout your space instead of relying solely on ceiling lights. Our designers incorporate a mix of high-end pendants, downlights, and track lights to ensure even, layered illumination that adds depth and beauty to your home while supporting all your daily activities. Discover how each fixture plays a unique role in enhancing your overall space.

Linear Pendants

Design-Oriented Illumination
Pendant lights in various colors and finishes enhance your décor while providing ambient or task lighting. Elevate your interior design with elegant fixtures hanging from the ceiling or integrated into a track lighting system.

Downlights

More Light, Less Clutter
Primarily used for ambient lighting, downlights can also serve as task or accent lighting in certain applications. Recessed or flush-mounted in the ceiling, they come in round or square trims to complement your décor.

Retrofit Downlights

Remodeling Possibilities
Easily update outdated fixtures with retrofit downlights. These low-profile designs fit into most standard recessed housings. Choose from our collection of high-end tunable LED fixtures, available in both round and square trims.

Track lighting

Focal Points of Brightness
Track lighting offers a flexible solution for accent and task lighting needs. Install adjustable spotlights on a track or rail system to highlight artwork or illuminate cabinets. Expand your stylistic options with straight, round, or curved track models.

Lighting Control

Effortlessly manage your home’s lighting with a centralized control system. Easily adjust various fixtures in your Kansas City home to create beautiful layers of light while maintaining a cohesive look. Enjoy intuitive, customized control from your preferred devices and benefit from a streamlined, clutter-free installation.

Interfaces

Swipe through personalized interfaces on your smart home touchpad or mobile app. You’ll easily manage lighting through user-friendly graphic menus that show the status of lights in each room. Adjust the intensity, color, and color temperature of fixtures individually or in groups, then save and recall your favorite settings with a simple tap.

Processor

The processor is the brains of your lighting control system, enabling smooth communication between control devices and fixtures throughout the house. A top-tier processor ensures efficient, lag-free operation, providing immediate and accurate responses to your commands. Our lighting experts select the optimal processor model for your needs during the design phase, considering its bandwidth and processing power for the best performance.

Dimming Panels

Centralized control with dimmer panels sets a professional lighting control system apart from DIY. These panels, installed out of sight in an equipment room or utility closet, handle all dimming and control functions. Dimmer panels reduce wall clutter in individual rooms, cut down on wiring infrastructure, allow for complex programming, and minimize the need for power boosters while also controlling fans and motors.

Smart Dimmers/Switches

Eliminate wall clutter with smart dimmers and switches that handle complex commands and scenes. These luxury keypads replace multiple switches and dimmers, clearing up clutter from your walls. Custom wall keypads provide instant access to scenes, control lights throughout the house, and combine dimmer and switch functions in one unit. Choose from flush-mounted models with matte, metal, or glass finishes in a variety of colors to match any décor.

Effortless Control with Motorized Shades

Motorized shades enhance your daily routines and elevate your home's comfort and security. They offer improved climate management and lighting control, enhanced security and privacy, and an overall better quality of life in your Kansas City or Overland Park home. With a wide selection of beautiful fabrics and styles, you can find window treatments that perfectly complement your décor.
