Live Well with These Lighting Options!

Light is a fundamental aspect of our existence. It influences our mood, productivity, and overall well-being. While we often take it for granted, lighting design plays a pivotal role in shaping our daily experiences. 

From the soft glow of a bedside lamp to the vibrant hues of a Bay Area cityscape at night, lighting can transform how we perceive and interact with our surroundings. Today, we'll explore how thoughtful lighting design can empower us to live our best lives.

Unveil Your Inner Muse with Smart Lighting

When you first think of lighting design, do your thoughts turn to the various light fixtures placed throughout a home? Before the advent of smart technology and today’s revolutionary LED lighting, much of our home’s lighting centered around those considerations—ensuring the right placement for the task at hand. 

Today, lighting has become a personalized art form, challenging how we experience our indoor environments. Now, a single light source can enliven a space in vibrant colors, pastel hues, and enchanting moonlight—an infinite pallet of colors at our disposal.

In the right hands, this light creates a unique sensory experience, transforming for life’s many activities. At Hermary’s, we believe the right lighting should reflect your personality, lifestyle, changing moods, and preferences. And it should be as changeable as you and your family, the seasons, and the tides.

Let’s explore the world of personalized lighting so you can create an environment you love in your Bay Area home.

A creative lighting design offers homeowners flexibility throughout their day, evening, and when entertaining guests. It’s possible to match the ambiance of your home with the event of the moment using creative lighting arrangements.

Effortlessly Control Natural and Artificial Light

Today’s automated technology enables homeowners to manage their lighting effortlessly. Gone are the multiple light switches and, in their place, are elegant, custom-engraved in-wall keypads, touchscreens, and remotes. With one touch or voice control, they can change every light in their home and raise or lower every shade. It’s pretty remarkable. 

But it gets even better. The latest home automation platforms manage your home’s lighting for you, automatically raising and lowering the shades, letting in diffused sun rays without harming fine art, floorings, or furniture. At the same time, the lights dim and brighten, based on the level of natural light in the room. It’s the perfect balance of natural and electric light. 

While this type of technology requires extensive home automation knowledge, the professional lighting design brings your Bay Area home to life. The unique colors, placement, highlights, washes, and hidden recesses create the mood and aesthetics. At Hermary’s, our team of design and integration experts create extraordinary results by combining technology and design. We work with our valued clients to develop customized solutions unique to their lifestyles and dreams. Let's explore the possibilities in our blog below!
