Whether your project is in Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, or Corona del Mar, planning ahead with Lutron lighting and shade control ensures your home is as intelligent as it is elegant.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we specialize in guiding homeowners, architects, and builders through the process of integrating Lutron HomeWorks systems into custom residences—delivering seamless lighting, motorized shades, and effortless control that elevates everyday living.

Why Lutron is the Foundation of a Well-Planned Smart Home

Lutron isn't just a lighting system—it’s a design element, a user experience, and a critical piece of smart home infrastructure. Starting early allows us to:

• Design layered lighting scenes for each space
• Plan wiring and infrastructure before walls are closed
• Coordinate with window types for precise motorized shade installation
• Align control keypads with furniture layouts and room flow

With Lutron at the center, the rest of your smart home—AV, climate, security, and networking—can be perfectly coordinated.

Step-by-Step: Planning Lutron in a Custom Home

1. Lifestyle & Design Consultation

We begin by understanding your lifestyle, floor plan, and aesthetic goals. Are you early risers who love natural light? Do you entertain often? Want subtle, indirect lighting for evening ambiance? Every choice informs how your system is designed.

2. Lighting & Shade Layout

Our team maps out where lights, dimmers, shades, and keypads should go—coordinating with your interior designer and builder to make sure everything fits beautifully into the home’s architecture.

3. System Engineering & Prewire

We prepare detailed plans for Lutron integration, including wiring diagrams, keypad locations, and shade pockets—ensuring clean installation and future flexibility.

4. Finish Selection

Choose from:

• Lutron keypads in finishes like matte black, satin brass, or custom colors
• Motorized shade fabrics that match your interiors
• Architectural lighting fixtures to complete the look

We provide samples and guide you through every selection.
