Rooms that respond.
Lighting and controls planned into the design from day one, so your room changes to suit what you are doing.
Scenes, not gadgets
The point is not more gadgets. It is one tap, or one word, that sets the room up for what you are about to do.
Focus
Home office
Bright, even, neutral light for deep work, softer and warmer to end the day.
Play
Gaming room
Screen-friendly lighting that cuts glare, with accent light behind the display.
Train
Home gym
Bright, energising light for the session, then a calmer cool-down setting.
Unwind
Bar and games room
Warm, low light with accent colour on the bar and shelves.
Concept descriptions, not finished installations.
What we plan
Smart lighting
Ceiling, task, accent and strip lighting planned together, dimmable and scene-ready.
Switches and sensors
Wall controls, plus motion or presence sensors where they genuinely help.
Smart plugs and power
Control for equipment, and enough sockets in the right places.
Voice and app control
One simple setup, not five separate apps.
Network and hub placement
A plan for reliable wifi and where any hub should sit.
How it fits
Smart layer is an optional add-on to Specify or Source. We add a lighting and control plan to your layout and product list, fit-checked like everything else. Quoted with your design.
What we do, and what we don't
We plan and specify, and choose products that work together. Forge Spaces does not carry out electrical work: anything involving mains wiring should be done by a qualified electrician. Plug-and-play options need no electrical work and suit rented homes. Installation by our team is part of Build, coming later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a smart speaker or hub?
Not always. We tell you what, if anything, your setup needs, and choose products that work together.
Will it work in a rented home?
Often, yes. We can plan plug-and-play options that need no rewiring.
Is it complicated to use?
It should not be. We aim for simple scenes you can use from a wall control, an app or your voice.
Do you do the electrical work?
No. Forge Spaces plans and specifies. Anything involving mains wiring should be done by a qualified electrician.
What if I already have smart devices?
Tell us what you have and we will plan around it.
