Most of us design a room by choosing the things that we put into it. Then, finally, we work out what the lighting will be. Professionals do things the other way around - they think about lighting from the start, because they understand that the one thing that affects the mood of a room more than anything else, is the lighting. Just think of any beautiful restaurant. Or bar. Or hotel. The light is as important as the music. The light sets the atmosphere, controls the mood. The perfect home needs the perfect light. We spend more time considering the colour and fabric of a lamp shade than we spend thinking about the device that will control it. A lighting expert would say that this is like picking your favourite music but not having control of the volume. Of course, in a modern home one room will have many purposes, each requiring their own lighting. For example, to prepare dinner, bright task lighting is essential. But to serve the food, we bring the lights down. Controllable lighting puts you in charge. It means you are free to create beautiful rooms no matter what time of day it is and what type of activity you have planned. It’s easy to install and a joy to use. Your home is your showcase, it deserves to be seen in the best possible light. RA2 Select by Lutron is the answer!
