Recessed Lighting vs. Flush Mount : How to Choose The Right Lighting for Your Home
Having trouble deciding whether to put in flush mount or recessed lighting in your house? When selecting the ideal ceiling lights for a space, there are many factors to take into account. Additionally, the choice of lighting fixture might ultimately make or break a successful design strategy.
I'll outline the key distinctions between these two well-liked options, including price. And provide some advice on how to choose the best fixture. Spoiler alert: Sometimes the solution is both of them!
Discover which lighting fixtures are best for you by reading on.
What distinguishes recessed mounting from flush mounting?
recessed lighting, pot lights, and can lights. They are all interchangeable with the typical builder-grade lighting that has been a fixture in homes since the early 2000s.
These lights, which typically consist of a housing unit in the shape of a circular can that is recessed into the ceiling, hence the name, have evolved into a more contemporary alternative to single flush mount light fixtures.
The term "boob lighting," as they were popularly known, is perhaps all too familiar to you. In the end, flush mount lights had a poor rap as everyone rushed to install recessed lighting in their place.
What precisely is the difference then? Why would someone choose one type of lighting over another?
The quantity of light diffusing that each form of lighting offers is what distinguishes them most from one another.
Light can diffuse or spread over the entire space since flush mount or semi-flush mount light fixtures are frequently housed in glass housing.
On the other hand, recessed lighting offers vertical downlighting and may need more fixtures to deliver the same amount of brightness throughout a space.
Are recessed lights becoming obsolete?
Since the early 2000s, recessed lighting has been a standard in both new construction and renovations. However, has this once-popular illumination outlived its usefulness or is it here to stay?
This discussion has truly been contentious. And many homeowners believe that it may be time to reevaluate this lighting decision. The good news is that recessed or canned lighting actually doesn't seem to be going out of vogue anytime soon, which is fantastic if you adore them.
But other fixture designs are stealing the show, pushing them to the side. Small size ornamental flush mount fixtures are becoming increasingly popular among designers in place of conventional canned or recessed lights.
It's all about balance, even though you might believe this design strategy is a little bit busy. The key to this design strategy is to choose an item that complements the space while not overpowering the larger focal pieces.
It enables the pendant lighting to become more of an ambient lighting source, softening the look of the kitchen to make it feel less sterile and frigid while still providing task lighting for cooking.
Bathrooms
It is frequently impossible to use anything other than a canned or recessed fixture because of the moist location of a bathroom shower. The inclusion of a closed cover on these lights prevents moisture from penetrating the electrical housing, which is done for safety reasons.
Hallways
Even though we might not classify corridors as rooms in and of themselves, they are unquestionably a location worth recognizing. Hallways frequently have several recessed light fixtures in a row because of their length. However, this does not imply that there aren't any alternative choices.
I recently took the plunge and used this simple kit here to change all of our old canned light fixtures to standard ceiling lighting.
The addition of these lovely semi flushmount lamps really helped to disperse the light across the entire corridor and brighten those dim spots, which I felt this space lacked in a few places.
It not only resolved the lighting issue, but it also undoubtedly had a significant influence on the hallway's overall style. The lighting now commands attention in this room rather than the stark white ceilings.
Here are some additional stunning flushmount lighting options that I was thinking about putting in this space.
