Install recessed lighting throughout your home for maximum comfort and illumination.
Recessed lighting is a popular choice for homeowners who want to add modern, unobtrusive light sources to their homes. These fixtures are installed directly into the ceiling, offering a clean, streamlined look that blends into any design. But where should you install recessed lighting to get the most out of it? Here are five ideal spots recommended by the electricians at Professional Electric Inc.
Under Kitchen Cabinets
One of the most practical and stylish places to install recessed lighting is under your kitchen cabinets. These lights brighten up countertops, making meal prep and cooking much easier by eliminating shadows and providing direct light where you need it most. Under-cabinet recessed lights also add a modern, sophisticated touch to your kitchen, creating an inviting ambiance, especially in the evenings.
Above Your Shower
The bathroom is another excellent place for recessed lighting, particularly above the shower. Installing a moisture-resistant recessed light in the shower area improves visibility and safety while adding a touch of luxury. Bright, focused light over the shower ensures you can see clearly without the glare of standard lighting, creating a more relaxing and functional space.
Over Your Fireplace
If you want to highlight decorative elements in your home, consider installing recessed lighting over your fireplace. Whether you display artwork, family photos, or a collection of decorative items on your mantel, recessed lighting can draw attention to these features and create an inviting atmosphere. The soft glow from recessed lights enhances the aesthetics of your living room without overpowering the space.
In Hallways
Hallways often suffer from poor lighting, making them feel dark and unwelcoming. Recessed lighting installed along the length of your hallway can transform this space into a bright and airy passage. It eliminates the need for bulky ceiling fixtures, providing even lighting perfect for showcasing artwork, family photos, or architectural details along the walls. This installation can also improve visibility, making your home safer and more inviting.
In Living Room Alcoves or Reading Nooks
If you have built-in shelves, alcoves, or a cozy reading nook, recessed lighting is the perfect solution for illuminating these areas without the need for floor or table lamps. Installing recessed lights in these smaller spaces can create a focused light source ideal for reading, displaying books, or highlighting decorative items. It also helps define the space, making it a feature rather than an afterthought.
