Create a Beautiful, Healthier Home with Lighting Design

A well-lit living area with floor-to-ceiling windows on the ocean.

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!
