Accent & Cove Lighting
Accent and cove lighting is the detail that makes a room feel designed. We install hidden lighting in coves, ceilings, and architectural features to add soft depth and a warm, layered glow.
What this involves.
Accent and cove lighting hides the source and shows only the effect, giving a room subtle depth and a high-end feel. We plan placement to wash ceilings from a cove, graze a textured wall, light a tray ceiling, or highlight built-ins and architectural features. We tuck the fixtures and wiring out of sight so you see a clean glow with no visible strip or hardware, and we match the color temperature to the room's other lighting. Tied into a dimmer or control, this layer lets you shift a space from bright and functional to soft and relaxed. It is the kind of finishing touch that makes a room feel custom.
