Make Rooms Feel Bigger, Cozier, & Classier with the Right Lighting Design Techniques 

Ever walked into a home, store, or restaurant and felt instantly relaxed—or energized—without knowing why? Chances are, lighting played a big role. 

Lighting does more than help us see; lighting actually influences how big (or small) a space feels, how we perceive textures like wood or stone, and even how we feel in the moment.

Let’s explore how the right lighting design can shape your Southlake home’s atmosphere—and how to use it to your advantage.

Learn How Smart Shading & Lighting Can Protect Your Highland Park Home 

Security cameras and alarms are crucial for catching criminal activity and obtaining necessary evidence. But by the time your system catches an incident, it’s already happening. So, how can you prevent a burglar from even attempting to enter your home? 

We call this ‘preventative security,’ and there are steps you can take to remove a target from your house. It’s common sense that bright lighting can make your home less appealing to thieves and trespassers. And that’s a great solution—when you’re home. But what about when you’re away ? Are you really going to leave the lights on all day? Won’t that look suspicious, too? 

That’s why we recommend integrating motorized shades and smart lighting with your security system. With these intelligently controlled features in your Highland Park, TX, home, you’ll enjoy all-in-one control and more peace of mind. Here’s how it works.

Southlake, TX, is known for its abundance of beautiful homes, from Timarron to the Carillon area and beyond. And Comware AV has helped illuminate many of these homes with our professional landscape lighting services. 

When we start a landscape lighting project, we meet with the homeowner to discuss their goals and desires. We then draft a design that we review with the homeowner before ordering any hardware. Once the design is approved, we proceed with the installation, often integrating landscape lights into our smart home systems.
