Enhance Everyday Life with Comforting and Luxurious Smart Lighting

Lighting has a huge impact on our everyday life and mood since our bodies are trained to respond differently to distinct types of light. In a home, lighting can determine how we experience the space. But home lighting also has many practical uses, such as keeping the house safe.

Smart lighting design helps solve many issues homeowners find with traditional lights, such as poor lighting and energy-draining solutions. Smart lights are customizable, provide beautiful illumination, and are easy to use. Here are just a few ways premium lighting design can improve your home in Great Falls, VA, as well as your well-being.

Home Automation Brings Ease of Living and Enjoyment

For many, a life of luxury involves expansive estates, luxury vehicles, exotic vacations, and dinners at outstanding restaurants. But even with all these beautiful experiences and a life that offers some of the finest things available, some are missing out on one of the true luxuries in life—smart home automation. 

Today’s smart home defines luxury living. It offers breathtaking beauty and entertainment and creates the perfect environment for every activity. But, like many things in life, it's hard to know what you're missing until you experience it. After you experience it, there’s no going back.

Some homeowners treat their outdoor space as a sanctuary, with landscape lighting that resembles stars and quiet spaces to tune into nature. Whether you're enjoying dinner al fresco, watching a movie under the stars, or lounging by the pool, outdoor speakers offer impressive audio that elevates the experience.

The Makings of an Immersive Cinematic Experience

Are you ready to create the ultimate in home entertainment? For some, that may mean a multi-use media room with gaming chairs, chaise lounges, a pool table, and the latest and biggest 4K HDR TV that descends from the ceiling. Others envision a designated custom home theater designed to engage the senses and transport the viewer to another realm. We're dedicating this blog to the latter, to those who want the privilege of enjoying an immersive cinematic experience that's better than the best cinemas around. 

Let’s explore the makings of these entertainment meccas and how they’re changing the home theater landscape in Great Falls, Virginia.

Control Daylight Effortlessly

The window coverings in your home perform many tasks. They add to your home’s aesthetics and can greatly enhance the design. Minimalistic roller shades elicit a modern feeling while flowing draperies add elegance and charm. They let the diffused light of the sun in, protect your privacy, regulate room temperatures, and reduce energy usage. 

We ask a lot of our window treatments. Unfortunately, we usually never realize their full potential. We may close the shades at night for privacy or raise them in the morning to enjoy some sunshine, but raising and lowering them throughout the day is tedious at best and time-consuming at worst. 

Custom smart blinds change that. Now, your window coverings automatically raise and lower throughout the day in your Bethesda, MD, home, letting in just enough sunlight to add beauty and warmth while protecting fine art and furnishings. Plus, with one touch on an elegant in-wall keypad or touchscreen, you can raise and lower one or every shade in near-perfect unison, effortlessly controlling the natural light in your home.

Let’s explore the many benefits smart shades bring.

Boost Your Home Network for Corner-to-Corner Internet Coverage

A recent study in 2022 found that the average U.S. home had a little over 20 devices connected to the internet. In smart homes, that number can increase significantly. As your number of connected devices continues to rise, so does the demand on your Wi-Fi network. 

Slowly and insidiously, your connectivity shows signs of trouble. For many, however, the problem is so slight that it’s easy to brush off. After all, life gets busy, and one more call to one more technician is all you don't need. But then, you lose your connection during an important video conference call or tell your smart lights to dim by 50%, and they don’t respond. When your smart door locks fail to act or your security camera fails to send alerts, you know it’s time for an upgrade.

At Bethesda Systems, we specialize in home automation and creating smart home networks that ensure corner-to-corner Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home and outdoor spaces. Let's explore the signs that suggest you need an upgrade and the steps to take to ensure your home is connected, secure, and safe.
