    Personal preference really. If your uber-keen to have all match, then no. Change the light shade or spray the downlights with copper spray

    You could probably change your downlight bezels for white ones.

    Personally, I wouldn't be too precious about changing them as people don't spend time looking at downlighter bezels, but it's why I install white ones now. Fashion is moving towards different coloured metals.

    It would bug my husband, I wouldn't notice. In our old house I lived there for years and it was only when someone pointed out the fireplace in the lounge wasn't central to the wall lights that I noticed it. Years I'd been there!
