Cove lighting is a subtle yet powerful renovation feature. In Canada and the USA cove lighting is often added in living rooms and bedrooms for a warm glow along ceilings. It creates ambiance without direct glare.
In the UK cove lighting is popular in hospitality renovations but homeowners are adopting it for hallways and bathrooms. In New Zealand cove lighting is paired with recessed fixtures to create layered effects.
LED strips are the main technology because they are flexible and energy efficient. Smart systems allow color tuning from warm to cool white or even vibrant colors. Designers emphasize that cove lighting works best when hidden within ceiling recesses or cabinetry for a seamless look.
Conclusion
Cove lighting adds elegance and atmosphere to renovations in every region. Its discreet placement and energy efficiency make it a growing trend.
