Surprise under Medallion / Installing light fixture
I am fliping a house. We removed a medallion for the intalation of Ikea lamp with a rectangular base and tree pendants. But used to be a recess light the hole almost 7 inches oval and is bigger than the lamp bracket. I thought install a rectangular pvc lowes medallion but am not sure if this. Ideas?
It depends on the size, style, and color of your light base. If you can match it, a rectangular pendant may look fine. Otherwise, drywall patch/repair is probably your best option.
Lol. Handyman special right there. You can use a PVC medallion. It will technically work, but IMO medallions usually look cheesy because you know they were installed for the sole purpose of covering up a mistake. It it were me I would just do a quick drywall patch. This should've been patched the last time it was installed but they were probably just too lazy.
Every house there is always something at the end. What I do is I ask everybody on the team electrician, plumber, drywaller what they think somebody will have an idea. You could go to Amazon and just scroll thru light fixtures until something grabs you attention.
