Lighting & Shade Control Designed for Your Comfort
Are you ready to design your custom lighting and shade system?
Lighting & Shade Solutions that Enhance the Way You Live & Work.
The right lighting and shade design enhances the look and feel of your home or office while supporting an environment that moves in sync with your natural flow. By adjusting light levels and color temperature throughout the day, these systems help support circadian rhythms and daily comfort. It is an understated way to blend beauty with function and bring ease to everyday life. Our lighting and shade control solutions bring these elements together through simple, intuitive controls that support the way you live and work.
Shade Control
Windows frame the light that shapes your space. Automated shade control allows you to balance daylight for comfort and privacy while helping to manage temperature and protect interiors from UV exposure, which can fade artwork and flooring.
Residential Integration
Adjust the light in your home with a single touch. From a gentle morning glow to a darkened room for movie night, shade control makes it easy to adjust your environment for the time of day or occasion.
We work with brands like Lutron and Insolroll, selected for their quiet operation and elegant design.
Commercial Integration
In commercial spaces, automated shade control helps manage sunlight, reduce glare, and support comfortable temperatures while preserving outdoor views. Shades can be scheduled to adjust throughout the day or coordinated with the lighting system so light levels respond naturally to changing conditions. When daylight is strong, lighting can dim. When shades close, lighting adjusts to maintain balance. This creates a consistent, efficient environment that is easy to manage with simple control.
Lighting Control
Light has a direct impact on how you live and work. With smart lighting control, you can set the tone for every moment – bright and clear when you need focus, warm and relaxing when it is time to wind down.
Residential Integration
Our lighting control systems are designed to make your life easier. You can brighten your kitchen for cooking, dim the living room for movie night, or set entire scenes that shift automatically from morning to evening, based on the time of day or preset schedules. With Ketra by Lutron or DMF, your lighting adapts to your mood and daily rhythm.
Commercial Integration
In commercial spaces, lighting helps people feel alert and engaged. Our designs balance natural and artificial light to support productivity throughout the day. Whether it’s a conference room, studio, or retail space, we use precision dimming and control platforms to bring both comfort and clarity.
Architectural Lighting
Architectural lighting brings design and technology together by using light to define structure, guide movement, and enhance materials. Careful attention to fixture size and alignment ensures ceilings feel balanced, intentional, and visually clean.
Residential Integration
Architectural lighting is what separates a nice space from a remarkable one. Using recessed, cove, and accent lighting, we can reveal the detail, texture, and quality in your space. Lighting systems from Lutron or WAC make it easy to create the perfect environment for your needs.
Commercial Integration
In commercial spaces, lighting helps people stay focused and productive. We work with your architects and designers to create systems that are efficient, functional, and visually balanced. Every design complements the architecture and enhances the way people use the space.
Outdoor Lighting
Your outdoor areas are an extension of your lifestyle. With thoughtful outdoor lighting, you can enjoy your surroundings long after sunset.
Residential Integration
We design outdoor lighting that enhances your home’s architecture and landscape. From garden paths to patios, to that extra-special maple in the front yard, every fixture is placed to create warmth, safety, and highlight your landscape’s natural beauty. Systems from Coastal Source and HK Lighting stand up to Pacific Northwest weather while delivering soft, even lighting that transforms how your outdoor space feels at night.
Commercial Integration
Outdoor lighting in commercial spaces does more than provide visibility. It supports a positive experience during business hours and helps maintain safety after hours. Our designs ensure entrances and walkways are easy to navigate while delivering reliable, long-term performance.

FAQ
What is the difference between smart lighting and regular dimmers?
Smart lighting systems allow you to manage multiple fixtures or entire rooms from a single interface. Traditional dimmers only control one circuit, and only on a local, room-level basis. Smart lighting supports preset scenes, energy efficiency, and automated schedules in addition to traditional circuit and room control.
How do automated shades improve comfort and efficiency?
Automated shading adjusts throughout the day to manage light and heat. This helps maintain consistent comfort, reduces glare, reflects radiant solar gain, and supports energy efficiency. When paired with smart lighting, both systems work together to balance your environment.
Can I control my lighting and shades from my phone or by voice?
Yes. Smart lighting and shading systems can be controlled through mobile apps or integrated voice platforms. You can adjust light levels, set scenes, or automate routines with simple commands.
Do I need special wiring for lighting control?
New construction often uses panelized lighting for maximum reliability, while existing homes can use wireless systems with traditional line/load wiring already in place. Both options offer strong performance and simple control.
What finishes and fabrics are available for keypads and shades?
Keypads and shade materials come in a wide range of colors, textures, and designer finishes. This allows lighting controls and shade hardware to blend naturally with your home’s style.
