Recessed Cove Ceiling Lighting

12 photos

Cove lighting hides the source and shows only the glow, washing a ceiling or wall so the room feels softer and its edges less abrupt. It is tucked into light wood panelling, white built-in storage and a bedroom suite with a bathtub. The variations are worth borrowing: a wood soffit with downlights, a glowing ceiling panel, floor-level LEDs in a powder room.
