Experiencing the Transformational Power of Light
Enhancing Aesthetics and Changing Moods with Today’s Lighting Design
Lighting has a powerful effect on humans. Consider the difference in how you feel when waking up to sunlight streaming through a window versus a cloud-filled day with little illumination. One feels expansive and energetic, while the other makes you want to cozy up in the corner with a good book.
The lighting in your home does the same, influencing your emotions and moods while significantly altering the aesthetics of a room. You can enjoy a cozy and warm or bright and energetic space in response to your home’s illumination.
The key to creating your chosen environment is through carefully crafted lighting design. Let’s explore what the latest technology offers and how you can create and change the atmosphere for varying moods and aesthetics in your Dallas, TX, home.

Today’s Home Lighting Redefined
With the advent of high-performance LED lighting and control systems, the capabilities of home illumination expanded exponentially. Gone are the one-toned light fixtures, and in their place are recessed lights, pendant lights, and strip lights that change color temperature and intensity with the tap of a button.
At Integrated Lifestyles, we partner with the industry leaders in the latest LED lighting sector. Their extensive selection enables our lighting designers and automation experts to craft the ideal environment and program it to change based on your desired mood.
Press the ‘Work’ button on an elegant custom-engraved keypad, and the lights brighten to a white-blue-toned hue. This lighting heightens emotions while enhancing productivity. Conversely, warm lighting that falls in the warm white to yellow, orange, and red hues produces a cozy, relaxing atmosphere, ideal at day’s end.
Setting the Mood and Ambiance
One of our partners, Control4, manufactures Vibrant Linear Lighting. This system infuses a space with beautiful ambient and accent lighting derived from an unseen source. Solid-state, high-performance LED strips with aluminum extrusions lie unseen in areas like coves, recessed areas, and under cabinets.
This diffuse light transforms a room, creating indirect lighting and a soft, subtle glow that you feel as well as see. Our experts also program scenes that create the ideal lighting for your mood or activity. For instance, pressing the ‘Relax’ button may result in a diffuse warm, amber glow or the colors of the Caribbean Sea, such as aqua and cerulean.
Tapping ‘Entertain’ can infuse a space with golden highlights, emerald greens, and indigo. We’ll get to know the moods that make up your day and the different aesthetics ideal for the varying occasions that make up your life. Then, with one touch or voice command, your home’s lighting transforms.
This same system also offers Natural Light, a popular home lighting system that transitions your home’s lights throughout the day, reflecting the sunlight and the color and intensity outside your windows. The effect is similar to energizing sunlight streaming into a home during the brightest parts of the day and the relaxing reflection of sunset as evening sets in.
