When you look at homes in real estate listings, what makes a space attractive? Is it the floor or the wall color? That can play a part. But more than anything, lighting has the power to completely elevate a house’s appearance.
When applied correctly, natural and artificial light works wonders for a room. And Lutron lighting control lets you enhance your home’s interiors beyond on/off light switches. With a home automation system, you can customize the color and brightness of each fixture and control groups of lights to alter the overall mood.
If you’re new to smart lighting systems, we’ll share how you can use them to enhance your home’s atmosphere (and save time!). From Durango, CO, to Farmington, NM, we design and install custom lighting systems that breathe new life into homes.

A light’s color temperature can vastly impact the mood of a room. Lights that shine icy and cool white are appropriate during the day, but at night will make your rooms feel cold and uninviting. Warm-hued bulbs are cozy and comfortable for the evening but don’t provide enough visibility during the day.
Luckily, Lutron lighting control systems give you the best of both worlds with color-tunable lights. You can change the color temperature of many lights at once, even adjusting the whole house simultaneously. Ketra LED lights by Lutron offer 16 million colors and dimming levels all the way down to .1 percent. Through your Lutron app, wall keypad, remote, or even voice control, you can customize the appearance of your lights to accentuate your home’s interiors. Linear lighting and landscape lighting can also be intelligently controlled to craft the perfect mood.
What makes a house look luxurious? If you look closely, luxury homes use layers of light throughout each space—and don’t rely on single bulbs at the center of the ceiling. A combination of task, ambient, and accent lighting brings depth and intrigue to a room with a mix of linear lighting, pendants, and recessed lights. To change the atmosphere, a Lutron lighting system lets you add, remove, dim, or brighten layers in seconds.
For example, if you’d like a little “mood lighting” for a romantic dinner, tapping a “Dining” button on your Lutron wall keypad or app will dim the ambient light while keeping the accent and task lighting at low levels.
You don’t have to slide your finger on the color wheel whenever you want to set the mood. The Lutron system lets you save scenes to activate anytime. A “Party” mode might adjust accent lights to fun colors, while a “Movie” mode dims all the lights besides small pathway lights for walking visibility.
