As we get into the full swing of the holiday season and the New Year approaches, those who find themselves in charge of hosting may want to use this time to tackle a few home projects before guests roll arrive.

Colorful lighting has taken social media by storm, and that’s just the beginning. In fact, many professionals say saturated RGB colors are one of the lighting features most requested by affluent millennial and Gen X clients.

Most manufacturers offer maybe 3-4 colors, and finding modern light switches in finishes that actually match your vision can be frustrating.

Help your clients complement every room in their home with modern light switches, luxury light switches, designer dimmers and keypads from Lutron’s satin finish collection. At PROLIGHTING, we carry all 20 of the Lutron’s satin finishes in product families including Diva, Sunnata, Claro accessories and more. Coordinate, accent, or blend lighting controls with decor.
