The Must-Have Layers of Light
A one-dimensional lighting setup can leave your home feeling flat, causing strained eyes, harsh shadows, and rigid spaces. A beautifully designed home needs layers of light to create a balanced, flexible environment that feels effortless from morning to night.
Ambient Light
Ambient lighting is your foundation. It fills the room with soft, welcoming illumination, often through natural light, recessed ceiling fixtures, or elegant pendants.
Task Lighting
When you need to focus, task lighting steps in. Desk lamps, pendant lights, and under-cabinet lighting offer bright, concentrated beams right where you need them most.
Accent Lighting
These brighter, focused fixtures draw attention to your favorite features, such as artwork, photos, and architectural details, to add depth and character to your space.

Elevate Every Space with Architectural Fixtures
To achieve truly layered lighting, it’s important to mix and match different fixture styles, not just rely on overhead canned lighting. Our expert designers blend a thoughtful mix of high-end pendants, track lights, and downlights to create lighting that adds both beauty and practicality to your home. Whether you’re relaxing, working, or entertaining, your lighting adapts to every moment.

Linear LED Lighting
Sleek, modern, and energy-efficient, linear LED lighting highlights architectural features and offers powerful task lighting, all with a minimalistic, high-end look. It's a stunning way to add contemporary flair while enhancing functionality.

Linear Pendants
Pendants bring an elevated touch to any space. Available in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes, they serve both decorative and functional roles. Whether suspended from the ceiling or integrated into track systems, pendants turn ordinary rooms into showstoppers.

Downlights
Downlights are a favorite for a reason. These recessed or flush-mounted fixtures offer soft, beautiful ambient lighting—and can easily be adapted for accent or task lighting too. Available in round or square trims to match your home’s style, they bring illumination exactly where you need it without interrupting the clean lines of your décor.

Retrofit Downlights
Give outdated fixtures a modern refresh with sleek retrofit downlights. Designed to fit into most standard recessed housings, these low-profile options offer a smooth, sophisticated look without the need for major remodeling. Choose from high-end tunable LED models, with round or square trims, to customize the feel of every room.

Track lighting
Track lighting brings flexibility and flair to your space. Adjustable spotlights mounted on rails or tracks let you showcase your favorite artwork, highlight custom cabinetry, or add task lighting exactly where it’s needed. Explore straight, round, or curved designs to match your unique style and elevate the look of your interiors.

The beauty of a layered, luxurious lighting design truly shines when you have effortless control. A thoughtfully designed lighting control system for your Arlington Heights home lets you manage every fixture with precision, keeping your home beautifully lit and your style consistent.
