Interior Design Ideas for Automated Installations [1]

You may or may not have known, but We Are More does design assistance (design-assist) on every project that needs it. Some people envision the exact way they want things to look after an install, others need a lot of help figuring out their vision. If you’re one of the “others,” hopefully you can find some design inspiration below.

We realize that the topic of design can be a lengthy one. With that in mind, this article will be one in a series of blog posts throughout the coming weeks. In each post, we’ll go through a few design options for a certain home area using one of the more popular automated installations that we do. The first of these is lighting.

Automated Lighting Design Ideas

Lighting is a huge design element that is often overlooked. The type of lighting you use can pull the whole area together. Check out our blog on “Seven Forms of Lighting for Every Occasion and Atmosphere” to read more on types of lighting to choose from. If you have a certain design you’re considering, don’t forget to include the right kind of automated lighting to accentuate your look.

You can use automated lights to illuminate certain home features, light up and control different mood lighting for walkways, driveways, hallways, your kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, patios, porches, living rooms, theater rooms, and everywhere else you’ve ever seen a light switch. Paying attention to the details of lighting placement and different hues are the key to beautiful lighting solutions.

Bedroom Lighting Ideas

An easy and useful way to utilize automated/wireless lighting is in your bedroom. Deciding on the kind of lightbulbs you want are the most fun. Our personal favorite are full color wifi led bulbs. Color changing bulbs are great for any style of bedroom due to all the color choices.

Using color changing lights or not, here are a few versatile ideas for your bedroom:

1. Install lights under or above certain featured items to show them a little more attention from visitors; photos, aquariums, plants.
   
2. Put strip lights around the perimeter of certain main objects to give them a bordered back glow; televisions, bed frames, headboards.
   
3. Think about installing wide spotlights to shine on certain areas of the room more than others; entries, desk areas, closet + dresser spaces.
   
4. Have smart lights installed to illuminate when you walk by at night without needing to flip a switch. The best places for this type of lighting is along your baseboard or within your floorboard.
   

Automated lighting is the best choice for any of these design ideas. The intensity of the light can be increased or decreased depending on how bright you want them to be. You can also customize your lights to have certain scene settings or to dim and change color with certain times of the day. Sync them with your smart sound system for your desired mood lighting and different playlists.
