Unexpectedly Striking: Diverse Styles of Flush Mounted Ceiling Lights

Written by Progress Lighting | Dec 8, 2023 2:00:00 PM

Often, when we think of statement lighting, we think of big, bold chandeliers or large-scale, dramatic pendant lights. But for smaller-scale rooms or those with lower ceilings, you can still capture attention and create a centerpiece with a semi-flush convertible, flush mount and semi-flush mount lights. These fixtures are often unique, eye-catching, and distinctive, helping to define the overall style and character of a space.

Versatile, Convertible Chandeliers


Convertible chandeliers are a versatile option that can be used as either a traditional hanging chandelier or as a semi-flush mount. These fixtures provide the best of both worlds, allowing you to adjust the height with the included extra stem and chain pieces to customize the fit to your space. Install it to make a grand statement in a foyer or dining room, or hang it closer to the ceiling to create a semi-flush mount effect in spaces with lower ceilings or in rooms where a more subdued lighting effect is desired.

Also, consider how the material and finish of the fixture can make a statement. A lustrous metallic finish flush mount can bring warmth and sophistication, while a crystal-encrusted fixture adds a touch of luxury. We love the sophistication of Lowery, whose black layered rectangular are artistically combined with distressed antique silver leaf panels. Illumination glowing from inside the structure casts a shimmering reflective illumination, highlighting the beautiful contrast between light and dark.

Semi-Flush Mount Lights

Semi-flush mount lights hang slightly below the ceiling. They provide more breathing room for the fixture and the opportunity to create a striking design statement.

Semi-flush mount lights with decorative elements like intricate metalwork or layered glass can add drama and elegance to your space, as seen in Navarre. Rectangular cubes nest within each other, forming a breezy angular silhouette that captures shimmering seeded glass panels. Or go for a modern organic vibe by showcasing natural textures, such as the woven jute frame that defines the Laila semi-flush mount, whose intricately woven design creates a delightful interplay of shadows and inviting ambient light.

Flush Mount Fixtures


Flush mount fixtures are designed to be mounted flush against the ceiling, making them an excellent choice for rooms with low ceilings or where a clean, minimalist look is desired. While they may seem unobtrusive, flush mount fixtures can be statement pieces when chosen thoughtfully.

Consider the size and scale of the room when selecting a flush mount fixture. A large fixture with an exciting design, such as Trimble, can become a visual focal point in smaller spaces.

Look for flush mount fixtures with unique shapes, such as geometric patterns or sculptural elements. These can add an artistic touch to a room. Saucedo is defined by artful architectural texture and geometrical lines that complement the shining light source within.
