Quick Tips for Using Recessed Lighting Like a Pro

So, you’re sold on recessed lighting—now how do you make it work? This seamless design provides a clean, unobtrusive look that blends beautifully into any decor style.

1. Plan the layout
   Space lights about 4 to 6 feet apart for even coverage. Avoid putting them too close to walls.
2. Pick the right trim
   From baffle to adjustable “eyeball” styles, trim affects the beam and glare. Choose based on your lighting goal—soft wash or focused spotlight?
3. Add dimmers
   Adjust brightness based on time of day or mood. Dimmers make recessed lighting super flexible.
4. Layer it up
   Don’t rely on recessed lights alone—add pendant lights, lamps, or sconces to round out the space.

Final tip: Use recessed lighting as the foundation, not the whole story. Combine it with other fixtures for a room that feels thoughtfully lit and visually balanced.
