Start with Layers
You’ll want to take your lighting deeper than the surface to create a truly magical event. When you integrate the three fundamental layers of lighting, you’ll be able to craft an environment of visual interest. The three layers are:
- Ambient Lighting – your primary light source, providing overall brightness to your space.
- Task Lighting – focused lights that illuminate specific areas or activities.
- Accent Lighting – highlights for architectural features, artwork, or other focal points.
Mix and match layers to create an inviting atmosphere for guests.
Set the Mood with Dimmers
Lutron offers dimmable lighting systems for the ultimate in flexibility and mood setting. With the simple touch of a button, you can transform a lively room of conversation into a more calm and intimate area for dinner. Dimmers are the perfect way to soften the atmosphere and signal the event is nearing its end.
Exude Energy with Color
Lights come in a variety of color temperatures, and while interesting to look at, they can also affect the ambiance of the event. For example, if you’re holding a cozy and intimate gathering, opt for a warm glow of orange or yellow. If you’re hosting a surprise birthday celebration, a more vibrant and energetic white or blue tone will be perfect for the event.
Decorative Touches
In addition to being functional, lighting can be decorative. Strategically placed string lights, lanterns, or centerpiece lighting can add another layer of warmth to any celebration. Embrace Lutron’s smart lighting controls to manage a variety of lights, grouping them to create various unique and magical scenes.
Outdoor Illumination
Welcome friends to your home with beautiful exterior lighting, such as landscape, path, and garden lighting designs. Be sure to illuminate any areas where guests must walk safely, such as in your driveway, around a pool, or on stairs.
