The Latest Trends in Lighting Design

Effective lighting design brings a home from well-lit and functional to enchanting and awe-inspiring. The proper use of daylight intermingled with layers of lighting inspires an emotional state, from relaxed and peaceful to rejuvenated and focused. When in the hands of a designer who views it as art, the right lighting turns a home into a masterpiece.

As technology advances, the means for this transformation has escalated beyond what was once thought possible. When Lutron, our lighting partner, acquired Ketra in 2018, it transformed what was attainable in lighting design. Now, this aspect of interior design is as important as any other and, in many ways, is the defining element for your home in Salt Lake City, UT.

The Latest Lighting Transforms a Room in an Instant

Lighting design plays a critical role in the beauty and functionality of a home. The right lighting creates a space of intrigue and sets the stage for fun social gatherings or relaxing at day’s end. It highlights your home’s best features and helps increase productivity and well-being while elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary. 

To accomplish this, our designers and automation integrators at All Metro Tech use multiple layers of light and today’s LED lighting and smart home automation. Let’s look at what this type of lighting can do for your home in Park City, UT. 

Natural and Full Spectrum Tunable Lighting Creates the Perfect Environment

It’s been over 140 years since Thomas Edison perfected the incandescent light bulb, a form of lighting that’s still used in an estimated three-fourths of all light sockets in homes in America. This technology has enhanced our lives in unimaginable ways, creating a 24/7 lifestyle that enables us to work and play long into the evenings.

Today, however, there's increasing evidence suggesting our significant exposure to artificial light affects our health. Circadian rhythms, our body’s 24-hour internal time clocks which affect our mind, body, and behaviors, are to a large degree, influenced by light and darkness. When sunlight enters our eyes in the morning, it prompts the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to happiness and well-being. When night descends, our bodies produce melatonin, the hormone that readies us for sleep. When this cycle is disrupted, sleep and mood disorders, weight gain, and a challenged immune system may result. 

So, what does this have to do with lighting design in your Salt Lake City, UT, home? Everything.
