Flush Mounts

What is flush mount lighting?

To adopt space-saving profiles, flush mount lights remove long cords and stems from their designs. Instead, they mount their shades directly to the ceiling. This lets every space, regardless of size, embrace a truly original aesthetic.

How about semi-flush mount lights?

Semi-flush fixtures still provide the undersized dimensions and proportions required by smaller settings. However, unlike the more standard options, semi-flush pendants slightly suspend their shades from the ceiling.

Where is flush mount lighting typically installed?

Flush mount lights address the challenges of decorating and illuminating diminutive rooms, narrow hallways, and other settings with small footprints and low ceilings. These areas are often unable to accommodate longer stem, cord, or chain mounted pendants, which can limit the number of available styles.

To illuminate these areas, many homeowners install plain, strictly utilitarian lighting fixtures that brighten the space but lack a distinguishing character. This can leave a room feeling unappreciated and disconnected from the rest of the home or business’s décor.

However, professional designers understand how valuable stylish lighting is in making these spaces appear “lived-in” and welcoming. Luckily, there’s numerous flush mount lights that embrace the latest trends while still suiting the limited scale of the space.

For lighting’s more practical responsibilities, flush mounts function as primary illumination in small rooms.

In residential settings, these lights can be found in:

• Entryways
• Hallways
• Powder rooms
• Laundry rooms
• Mudrooms
• Porches

Commercial spaces also incorporate flush mount lights. They’re frequently installed in:

• Entryways in restaurants, breweries, and bars
• As primary lighting for small boutique stores
• In historic downtown districts with low ceilings

What styles of flush mount lights are available?

Nearly every lighting and shade style can incorporate this versatile mounting. That includes:

• RLM Shades
• Nautical Lighting
• Schoolhouse Globes
• Contemporary Designs
• Industrial Fixtures

By featuring today’s most prevalent trends, along with more traditional options, flush mount lights help homes and businesses express uniquely fashionable looks. These various lighting designs establish a uniform aesthetic throughout a property, letting it feel thoughtfully decorated and elevated.
