Lighting is no longer the last step in home design: The question has changed from "How many lights?" to "How should this room feel?"

Homes are designed for different feelings at various times of day. Mistakes include uniform brightness and treating fixtures as complete plans. Concealed and tunable lighting systems are becoming increasingly popular.
