WHICH ROUTE SHOULD YOU TAKE? 

If you’re interested in a new lighting design for your home, you have two options: taking the do-it-yourself (DIY) route or hiring a professional lighting designer. While DIY may seem appealing due to lower costs, there is a trade-off. 

In this blog, we'll compare the pros and cons of each approach, highlighting the limitations of DIY lighting design and the benefits of working with a professional. Looking for lighting design services in the Southlake, TX, area? Contact Texadia Systems here!

Product Spotlight: DMF Recessed Lighting for Wood Ceilings

Lighting Design for Superior Aesthetics & Smart Control 

Lighting design is all about the human experience. It’s where technology and art collide, transforming a space’s atmosphere through curated colors and brightness levels. 

But lighting can pose its challenges for homeowners and interior designers. Wooden ceilings are a charming, rustic addition to any interior, but it doesn’t suit many recessed lighting fixtures. The flange and trim stick out like a sore thumb against the wood, ruining the design. 

Luckily, one of our favorite lighting manufacturers, DMF Lighting, has a solution for wood ceilings. DMF’s new M-Series fixtures blend perfectly in wooden ceiling finishes and are built for DMF’s smart LED lights, which can be intelligently controlled through smart home systems. 

Here’s what makes the M-Series so valuable to any lighting design project!

Lighting Design with DMF’s Small-Aperture Fixtures

DMF’s LED Lighting Fixtures Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

We’ve written on this blog about how the key to great lighting design is in layers. Ideally, a room shouldn’t be illuminated only by a few overhead lights. Mixing ambient, accent, and task lighting layers will bring depth and emotion to the room with the freedom to add or remove lights for life’s different activities. 

When we need to source LED lighting fixtures for a lighting design project, time and time again, we look to DMF Lighting. DMF engineers and manufactures high-end LED light fixtures with modular housings for its range of lighting products. DMF’s warm-dim and color-tunable technology make it the perfect choice for smart lighting control systems.

Last year, DMF unveiled its new small aperture downlight, a revolutionary product for the lighting industry. Here’s what small aperture lighting means and why it can do wonders for your Dallas, TX, home.

Maybe you’ve recently moved into a house with outdated lighting. Or perhaps you’ve never installed recessed lighting before and finally feel ready. Whatever your situation, if you’re looking to enhance your home’s lighting design, you’ve come to the right place.
