Integrate Tunable Lighting Fixtures, Automated Shades and Customized Control 

Think of the last time you noticed the lighting in a room. Often, it's only when it has a negative impact that it's top of mind. For example, it's too dim to read your book comfortably or so bright that it's causing a glare on your screen. 

A lighting design is all about creating lighting that blends so perfectly with your home and lifestyle, it almost becomes invisible. Our team of architects drafts tailor-made plans for our clients in Newton, MA and Greater Boston that incorporate automated shades, high-end light fixtures and seamless control. 

When these features come together effectively, your lighting works to bring out decor and enhance your well-being. This blog highlights the role of each in providing the perfect illumination.
