There's a subtle yet powerful secret to truly exceptional interiors, and it's not the sofa or the stunning art on the wall. It’s the light. At Stephanie Kratz Interiors, we know that lighting has the power to transform a room from simply beautiful to breathtakingly brilliant. When done right, it does more than just help you see, it makes you feel, influences your mood, highlights your home's finest features, and creates an ambiance of pure luxury.

We don't rely on a single, harsh overhead light. Instead, we masterfully layer three essential types of lighting to create a rich, dynamic experience.

The first layer is ambient lighting. This is your room’s foundation, the all encompassing glow that sets the tone. Think elegant recessed lights, stunning architectural installations, or a truly show stopping statement chandelier that serves as both a light source and a work of art.

Task lighting is the second layer and this is what we call light with a purpose. Whether it's a sleek pendant over your kitchen island, elegant sconces flanking a bathroom mirror, or a chic table lamp for a cozy reading nook, task lighting is designed for flawless function. It ensures you can perform daily activities with perfect clarity, without sacrificing an ounce of style.

The third and final layer is accent lighting. This is where we bring the drama. Accent lighting is used to intentionally highlight your home’s best assets. We create depth with subtle art lights to draw attention to a prized painting, concealed LEDs to make a custom built-in glow, or strategic floor lamps to showcase a unique architectural detail.

For us, lighting is never an afterthought. We meticulously plan and integrate lighting from the blueprint stage. We design custom lighting plans that work in harmony with your home's architecture, ensuring outlets are exactly where you need them and fixtures are perfectly positioned to deliver their full potential.

In the end, it's not just about what you see, but how you feel in a space. This is where smart lighting systems truly shine, allowing you to instantly shift from a vibrant, social setting to a soft, relaxing glow with the touch of a button. It's the ultimate blend of beauty and effortless function.

Ready to transform your home with the perfect lighting? Contact us at Stephanie Kratz Interiors and let's collaborate to illuminate your space in a way that is uniquely, beautifully, and brilliantly you.
