Do you know that the light switch was patented in 1917? Over a century later, we still use it to control our lights. However, if Business Insider is correct, these functional controllers may become relics of the past; an obsolete technology gone the way of VHS tapes and phone booths.
​
What’s replacing these light controls in the Los Angeles, CA, area? Elegant in-wall keypads that not only manage your lighting but your climate and motorized shades as well.
Let’s explore some of the latest high-end controls that make managing your home’s environment effortless.

These keypads offer much more than turning lights on or off. Instead, they set the stage for the task at hand with custom-engraved buttons displaying the activity, such as “Dinner,” “Relaxing,” “Entertaining,” “Movie Night,” and many more. Then, with one touch, your lighting settles into preprogrammed hues and temperatures, the shades rise or lower, and the temperature adjusts to the ideal setting for your varied moods and endeavors. Remarkable.
​
At BCG Concepts, we partner with leading home automation and lighting control brands to provide our clients with the latest technology on the market. These partners offer beautiful keypad solutions that align with any home’s décor.

The Alisse keypad is an attractive, wired solution that offers sleek, sophisticated aesthetics. It's designed to work with the Lutron HomeWorks QS platform, enabling you to control your shades, lighting, and thermostat with one tap.
​
This stunning keypad contains buttons surrounded by a soft, glowing halo of light. Meticulously handcrafted, you can select from numerous finishes that blend in with any home’s design. A few options include aged brass, aged bronze, satin nickel, graphite, and architectural white.

Palladiom keypads offer a modern aesthetic, combining architectural design and subtle elegance. The buttons and faceplates are flush with each other, offering a minimalist look that aligns with the shades that bare its name. Paired with Lutron’s modern and sophisticated Palladiom line of exposed motorized roller shades, they elevate any space.

TRUFIG offers flush-mount solutions for third-party keypads. These are designed to be painted and finished over to match their surrounding surfaces, resulting in lighting control solutions that blend seamlessly with your home's décor. They also come in granite or wood.

Meljac is a French company that designs and manufactures electrical fixtures known for their quality materials and elegant design. Their personalized engraved plates are finished by hand, come in nearly limitless options—such as glass, porcelain, and brass—and are compatible with Control4 and Lutron.

This British company started in 1987, launching the Invisible Lightswitch, a transparent acrylic plate that allows paint and wallpaper to show through. From there, they expanded their range to bronze, brass, nickel silver, and other finishes and are now known among designers and architects. These also integrate with automation systems like Lutron HomeWorks and Control4.

At BCG Concepts, we create tailored smart home solutions that provide one-touch control, creating spaces of beauty, elegance, and ease of living. To learn more about high-end controls or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact BCG Concepts today.   

In certain circumstances, window coverings exist for functional purposes only, to block out the sun and provide privacy. However, when high-level function is requisite, quality should be the measure. And there are no shading options that rise to the level of quality and function of Lutron’s Palladiom roller shades. According to Lutron, they are the “little black dress of window coverings”—something that looks stylish everywhere.

We couldn’t agree more. When our clients are in the market for motorized shades, Palladiom is one of our top recommendations. Continue reading to discover the features of Lutron’s sophisticated shading system and how your Los Angeles, CA, area home could benefit.

Early technology in the motorized shades industry turned some homeowners off, surprised by the grinding sounds of the motor running while the shades lowered and raised. But today, Lutron Palladiom uses a whisper-quiet mechanism to ensure homeowner satisfaction. As a result, these shades are called the quietest in the industry. In addition, Lutron has gone to great lengths to innovate and evolve with the consumer’s demands.

You’ll be impressed with the sleek design of Palladiom shades. They perfectly match Lutron’s lineup of modern keypad designs, elements you may already have in your home if you utilize Lutron’s lighting controls. Balanced to perfection, Lutron Palladiom shades will maintain their straight lines and structure as they are effortlessly coiled and uncoiled to provide maximum comfort and privacy in your home.

Palladiom is a wire-free shading system that uses battery power. The shades will optimize battery usage with advanced Active Energy Optimization technology to give them a longer-lasting life. Lutron’s shading system has an industry-leading battery life of three to five years.

Lutron offers a variety of customization options with Palladiom motorized shades. Here are a few of the choices homeowners can select:

• Window size: Palladiom can match window sizes up to 12-by-12 feet. It is the perfect option for your home’s large-picture windows and can help with privacy and temperature control.

​Smart blinds bring so much more to the table than many would initially expect. Improve your home’s atmosphere, aesthetics, comfort, and overall convenience with shades in every room! Lighting has such a significant impact on your daily lifestyle. How much sunlight you receive throughout the day can determine how you feel and impact your energy levels.

Bring in the natural lighting with the tap of a button! You can bask in the warm glow of the morning light and then instantly conceal your interiors from it once the sunlight gets too intense by lowering your blinds within seconds. You can experience the convenience and comfort of your shades while also getting to enjoy their overall presence and design.

​When it comes to motorized shades and blinds, there isn’t just one option for your design preferences and desired aesthetics. Instead, to achieve the overall “theme” of any given room, you need a specific shading model to accommodate the space. From traditional honeycomb shading that provides additional insulation for your home to roller or roman shades that can deliver more opaque or sheer fabric - there’s a shading solution for any designated space.

Plus, every shading model comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Choose from blackout shades to more sheer ones to let you take in your home’s views while still enjoying your privacy. The design possibilities are nearly endless!

​Ready to bring smart blinds to your home but aren’t sure where to start? While motorized shading appear simplistic at first glance, integrating their systems throughout your property should be left to the professionals.

Our team at BCG Concepts can take care of every step of the shading installation process. The final result will be a home with integrated shades in any and every room you desire. With a scalable system, you can bring in as many blinds as you’d like at a time and build upon your setup with ease.
