Most homeowners decorate around an artistic themea set of images and color
palette. They painstakingly search, often with an interior decorator, for tiles,
hardwoods, marble, fabrics, and other materials consistent with their theme. But
while they may identify the centerpiece of their design theme, locating
complementary accents to complete the motif is often a more difficult task.

The result often finds homeowners settling for less-than-ideal choices
compromises reflecting what’s available, rather than what is possible.

Enter LightWave Art, with its ability to give homeowners a new measure of design
flexibility and control. While the company is nestled in Montana’s spectacular
Bitterroot Valley, its founding vision is global: applying laser-engraving technology
to interior design, and creating an infinite number of previously unavailable design
options.

In practical terms, this means taking the laser’s ability to replicate any image
scanned into its computer and applying it to ordinary building elementsfloors,
doors, windows, mirrors, walls, countertopsgiving them an artistic and thematic
dimension.

For example, homeowners could choose living room furniture with a particular
fabric, pattern, and colors, and then use laser engraving to create their own
decorative floor tiles to match the furniture. This artistic theme, once defined,
could extend to anything elseperhaps a custom marble wall mural accenting an
adjacent fireplace, or something more subtle, like laser-bonded imagery gracing the
corner of cabinet doors or mirrors

To give homeowners even more options for their ideal entry, kitchen, den, or bath,
LightWave Art developed a new technology that permanently engraves images in
color: laser-bonding color pigments onto wood, tile, stone, or even difficult surfaces
like marble, granite, limestone and glass, to match a particular design’s color
scheme. This colorized imageryas hard as the underlying material, suitable for
outdoors, designed for foot traffic, as well as fade and stain resistantcreates the
potential for design vision becoming reality, without compromise.

The essential point is this: a homeowner’s chances of finding items like front entry
doors, cabinet doors, glass inserts, tiled countertops, hardwood floors, marble
backsplashes, and mirrored murals all with the same artistic theme, are usually slim
to none. Design compromises, which were once a given, may be a thing of the past
with this new capability in a homeowner’s design toolbox.

Homeowners pondering an interior design project may want to contact LightWave
Art, to view samples of its laser engraved, color bonded artwork. (With new
concepts, seeing is often believing.) Visiting the company in person provides a
chance to do this and take in the panoramic vistas of western Montana at the same
time. Then again, anyone shy about crossing paths with the bears and mountain
lions prowling LightWave Art’s property can visit them online at
