We’re excited to share that our team recently won our 3rd Badger Craftsman award for Best Smart Home! Over the years, we have noticed that these award-winning homes tend to have several things in common when it comes to electrical and home automation. And the good news is that many of these features can be added to your own home to bring that award-winning touch.
Layered Lighting
This one is a must! Award-winning homes don’t stop at just overhead lights. By combining ambient, task, and accent lighting, you add depth, warmth, and function that elevates every room.
Smart Lighting Systems
Lighting is the foundation of a smart home. With automated lighting, you can control brightness, color, and schedules right from your phone—or even by voice. It’s convenience, security, and energy savings in one.
Whole-Home Automation
But a smart lighting system is only the beginning. Imagine adjusting your lighting, thermostat, shades, and security system with just one button. And many of these award-winning homes, have a multitude of home automation with a centralized hub for easy control. Whole-home automation creates a seemingly luxury lifestyle that feels effortless.
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
From LED upgrades to energy monitoring and EV chargers, efficient homes save money while helping the planet. Modern buyers (and judges) love seeing green design built in.
Clean Design with Hidden Technology
The best homes balance form and function. Concealed outlets, in-wall charging, screwless faceplates, and even invisible speakers keep spaces polished while still packed with tech. It’s all about those details.
Entertainment & Lifestyle Upgrades
Whether it’s whole-home audio, a dedicated theater room, or outdoor lighting for gatherings, these features make your home as fun as it is functional. And these spaces give your home that something extra!
An award-winning home isn’t just about looks—it’s about smart upgrades that blend comfort, safety, and innovation. Whether you’re ready to add one feature or design a complete system, we’d love to help make your home award-winning, too.
As always, we hope we’ve made your day brighter! If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please visit www.inthelitellc.com.
