Taylored WHOLE HOME LIGHTING PLAN DESIGN
Want to update the lighting throughout your home during your kitchen or bath remodel, or need a complete lighting design for your new home build, or simply want to update the lighting throughout your home?
This service is available throughout the USA and is perfect if you want to update all the lighting throughout your home during your kitchen or bath remodel. It’s also great if you’re doing a new construction project with an architect or designer who’s not professionally trained in residential lighting design.
I completed a training in lighting design with one of the best lighting programs in the world, right here in Boulder at the University of Colorado, and I use advanced lighting principles and optional smart-home technology to make sure your space is well-lit, comfortable, and safe at any age.

“The right lighting, in the appropriate locations will literally change the way your home looks, feels, and functions!”
– Lesa Taylor
Your Taylored Lighting Design Experience includes a Thorough Lighting Assessment:
Identify Personal Lighting Needs: I explore how your family uses each space to ensure the new lighting design will support your family's daily activities.
Assess Natural Light: I assess how natural sunlight enters your home and changes throughout the day.
Note Highlightable Features: I note any architectural details or art pieces that need special illumination.
Your Taylored Lighting Design Deliverables include:
Holistic lighting plan - A lighting plan with fixture locations providing the four essential layers of light:
Ambient Lighting: Evenly distributed functional lighting that uses fixtures such as recessed lights and ceiling fixtures.
Task & Safety Lighting: Focused lighting for tasks and hobbies, and pathway lighting for stairs and passageways, using fixtures like pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, toe-kick, and stairstep lighting.
Specialty Lighting: Accent lighting for architectural features or artwork, such as cove lighting and picture lights.
Decorative Lighting: Like adding jewelry to finish an outfit, these fixtures elevate your design with sparkle, personality, and architectural interest using design-enhancing fixtures like chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and floor and table lamps.
Lighting-control plan
Light switch locations - functional zoning for easy room-to-room flow and convenient adjustment throughout the day.
Light switch types - 3-way switches, primary control location, and dimmers that reduce energy consumption and extend the life of your fixtures.
Smarthome lighting controls - when appropriate, I integrate smart home technology for convenience, safety, and functionality, from simple motion sensors to whole-home ambiance control.
Ready-to-Shop light fixture list - a clear and detailed list of all the light fixtures you’ll need to choose to complete your design.
There is nothing haphazard about lighting and this important feature of a home should never be left to the judgment of an installer. Let’s make sure you have the correct number of fixtures in the right locations, with easy-to-use controls that provide the best illumination for all activities conducted in the spaces.
