Recessed light fixtures have steadily grown in popularity over the past few years. It is possible to select many different types of recessed lights in a variety of sizes. To make the recessed light blend even more closely with the ceiling color many manufacturers now produce trim rings in a variety of colors as well as rings which can be painted or stained to match the ceiling exactly. Selecting the trim ring that will match your ceiling color is an easy process.
Instructions
1. Acquire a sample of your wood ceiling. If you don't have a sample then go to your home improvement or paint store and ask for a stain sample brochure. These brochures provide many sample chips which closely match the finish of paints and stains. Use these sample brochures to determine a close wood finish match with your ceiling. Hold the samples close to your ceiling until you have a match.
2. Determine the exact manufacturer of your recessed light fixture so you can identify what color of trim rings are sold with your fixture. A brochure featuring available trim colors for your fixture can be requested from a light fixture store or by contacting the fixture company. You may also wish to inquire about paintable or stainable trim rings.
3. Compare the standard trim ring colors with your ceiling sample color. While you are unlikely to find prestained trim rings, you may find a color of standard trim ring that will work for your ceiling. If none of the standard colors will work, then select a trim ring that can be custom painted to match your ceiling stain color. A faux painter can match wood type and color. Ask your paint store personnel for recommendations.
