[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our house is dark and the contractor suggested replacing the traditional light fixtures with recessed lighting throughout the main floor (foyer, living room, kitchen, and family room—and leaving the existing chandelier in the dining room). He said it will provide more light and a cleaner look. If we go this route, everything will be on a dimmer. Anyone done this? Any regrets? When I say the house is dark, it’s really dark. We are canopied by trees and our existing lighting really doesn’t accomplish much. [/quote] Don't. It is a lot of work and hard to undo if you do it and don't like it. Looks dated also. Stick to adding natural light like a couple skylights, and some extra lamps or high wattage bulbs. [/quote]
