Remove recessed lights before adding chandelier?

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

I have hollow ceiling beams over a breakfast area that has a tall slopped ceiling. The beams add some architectural interest to the room but we are painting them white. Previous owners put in 4 recessed lights in the beams, basically one light in each beam to form a square pattern with the lights. I’d like to add a simple chandelier that our designer recommended over a table in that room, in the center of the “square”. Should I remove the recessed lights first or can I just add the chandelier with the recessed lights? Not sure if it would look strange to have multiple sources of lighting on the ceiling so close together?

Photos of two of the lights, the other two are above these two.
