A (Quick) Guide to Flush Mount Lighting Styles
The primary advantage of flush mount lighting is that it lets you style more distinctive lighting in spaces with lower ceilings. This is more than a style statement, though. Eye-catching fixtures overhead can draw the eye up, which makes the space feel bigger. They also create interest overhead and add dimension to your ceiling—which can help shape a smaller space that feels too boxy. Flush mount lights are similar to pendant lights, offering a wide range of silhouettes from sleek and clean to sculptural statement makers.
Flush mount lights mount directly to your ceiling. A low profile does not have to mean understated here, though—fixtures like Regina Andrew’s Malibu Flush Mount Light are more like a compact chandelier. One of the advantages of a flush mount light is that it mounts so close to the ceiling that it creates the largest possible footprint of bright, direct light over the room. This is perfect for lighting up a smaller space while limiting shadows.
Semi-flush mounts mount from a stem that lifts them slightly off the ceiling, similar to a pendant but with a more compact profile. This little bit of space between the fixture and surface can offer a similar effect as pendants and direct light up to reflect off the ceiling for softer, more ambient illumination. You can even find bowl flush mounts like this Akari Semi-Flush Mount Light with its iridescent shade.
Both styles of flush mounts can be used in coordination with other lighting elements, such as sconces or lamps, to create a layered lighting design.
Room by Room: Where to Use Flush Mount and Semi-Flush Mount Lights In Your Design
We’ve talked about how flush ceiling light can augment a space, but what does that look like in your design? There will be times when recess or canned lights might make sense, but flush and semi-flush mounts can transform spaces where the overhead lighting feels lackluster but ceiling height is a concern—and this is true anywhere in your home. But let’s look at a few common spaces where flush ceiling lights can have a huge impact.
Bathroom Flush Mounts
Once simply called water closets, our bathrooms have become sanctuaries—in spirit if not size. En-suites have developed into more luxurious spa-like escapes while powder rooms and guest baths have become statement moments, but they often still occupy that same small footprint. How do you bring statement lighting to a small footprint room? Flush mount lights. Bathroom flush mounts can provide a direct source overhead to fill the room with bright ambient light. Many flush mount fixtures can be used with a dimmer while other bathroom lighting elements layer in light for that warm evening bath ambiance.
Bedroom Flush Mounts
Bedrooms also call for a transitional lighting plan, with plenty of bright light to get dressed or read, which you can tone down to something warmer and more ambient at night. A flush or semi-flush mount can provide the primary light source over your bed, vanity, or dresser. Bedroom flush mounts are another place where you might look toward designs with a dimmer switch or shades that diffuse light, such as the Sello Flush Mount Light by Disc Interiors.
Kitchen Flush Mounts
Bright, functional light is so important in the kitchen. From food prep to eat-in nooks, this space is usually a bustling center of activity and socializing. Flush mounts can be used over the kitchen or breakfast nook to provide stylish light with practical appeal. In addition to kitchen flush mount lights, you can check out our other kitchen lighting styles, like linear chandeliers and drop pendants to light your dream design no matter the layout.
