by Janna Ampo

Minimalist design is no longer just a trend — it’s an expectation. In high-end homes, technology should elevate the experience without taking over the space. That’s where minimalist control surfaces come in, allowing LIGHTWORKS clients to enjoy powerful smart home features without the clutter of traditional switches, remotes, or wall plates.

What Are Minimalist Control Surfaces?

Think of minimalist control surfaces as the art of making technology disappear. These products are designed to blend into walls and surfaces while still delivering full functionality. From flush-mounted outlets and light switches to sleek touch panels, they allow homeowners to maintain a clean, uninterrupted design aesthetic.

Examples We Recommend

1. TRUFIG — Flush-Mounted Perfection

TRUFIG creates a unified look by allowing outlets, switches, and keypads to sit perfectly flush with walls. With custom finishes, they match any surface — whether it’s drywall, tile, stone, or wood — so the focus stays on the design, not the hardware.
