THERE MAY BE no more
important areas of a home to
control lighting and shades
than heavily used kitchens
and bathrooms, as well as
investing in renovations that
include modern technology.
Toward that end, Lutron
Electronics debuted its allnew
Luxury Experience App
at the recently held Kitchen
& Bath Industry Show (KBIS)
in Las Vegas.
The company also showcased
a Tiny Home Experience
featuring some of
the brand's latest and most
popular offerings.
KBIS attendees were
among the first design
professionals to experience
Lutron's new Luxury
Experience App. The app is
a powerful tool that enables
homeowners, designers,
and custom integrators
to peruse through Lutron
lighting, shades, and controls
and visualize how they
bring any home to life.
