Embrace a Superior Lifestyle: Basic vs Luxury Lighting
Here’s how a luxury lighting installation can truly transform your lifestyle!
Believe it or not, home lighting plays a huge role in our everyday lives. Warm, amber-toned lights help you feel relaxed in the evening, while blue-white lights energize you throughout the day. Lighting also changes the way you perceive a room and accentuates your interior design. Undoubtedly, it is an essential tool to make your home more inviting and your lifestyle much more luxurious.
In this blog, we’ll reveal how adding luxury lighting solutions can completely transform your home in the White Rock neighborhood or anywhere else in the Dallas, TX, area.

Why Is Lighting So Important?
Would you like to live in a house that is beautifully lit and wonderfully welcoming? It certainly sounds like a dream, but it quickly becomes a reality if you invest in luxury lighting solutions.
A luxury lighting system allows you to customize its brightness and temperature to best fit with your different activities. Are you working in your home office? Brighten your lights in blue tones to keep you focused. Are you hosting a cocktail hour for your friends? Bathe your spaces in colorful lighting to get in the party mood. Want to wind down after a stressful day? Dim the lights to a soft amber hue and prepare for a night of relaxation.
Basic vs Luxury Lighting
There are two ways to look at your lighting system. Most people only view it as a tool to keep their home illuminated at night - as a way of avoiding bumping into furniture and preventing accidents. In this case, people get by with basic lighting solutions. Usually, their lights aren’t tunable. So, there are only two settings: on or off (or possibly dimming). A basic lighting system won’t make your spaces look particularly beautiful and inviting. In the end, a home looks pretty much like in the video below.
On the other hand, homeowners that want to enjoy luxury and comfort in their rooms usually implement luxury lighting solutions. By integrating different types of fixtures, they can highlight unique features, such as a beautiful stone wall, fancy quartz countertops, or fine artwork. Now, look at this video below. It is the same space as the example above, but it can completely change the way you perceive it just by adding the right lighting.
Layered Lighting
Achieving the perfect ambiance in a room, one that balances beauty and comfort, is not only done by changing the color of your lights. Layered lighting fixtures add a stylish touch to your home and make it more functional.
There are three layered lighting solutions: ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. Ambient refers to the kind of light that everyone has. It usually comes from recessed ceiling fixtures. Combined with other types of lighting and with the right fixtures, such as chandeliers and pendant lights, ambient lighting can really enhance your spaces and add more beauty.
Task lighting, on the other hand, is a kind of fixture that is designed to complement a specific activity. For example, you can add bright task lighting solutions under a gloomy kitchen cabinet for a safer cooking experience. Before you incorporate this kind of lighting, you should ask yourself, “How will I be using this space?”
Lastly, we have accent lighting. In many homes, this type of fixture isn’t a priority because it offers minimal functionality, but it should never be overlooked by a luxury homeowner. Why? It’s the best way to elevate your interior design and bring out your home’s unique features. Accent lighting refers to those fixtures that highlight specific areas of a room or artwork to create a visual experience to enhance your aesthetics.
