The Most Popular Flush Mount Lighting Styles to Know

Flush mounts are the lighting fixture of choice in homes with low ceilings and small square footage. These tiny ceiling lighting fixtures can light up a space beautifully without drawing too much attention. You may want a flush mount in a room where you have a beautiful piece of artwork or a statement piece of furniture, as too many eye-catching things will clutter a room fast. Let’s chat more about this essential piece of the lighting set-up in your home.

What are Flush Mounts?

Flush mounts are flat lighting fixtures that sit flat against the ceiling. They don’t have any visible wires hanging down the way that other hanging fixtures like chandeliers and pendants do.

Flush mounts get their name because they sit ‘flush’ against the ceiling without any gaps between the shade and the ceiling. The light shade could be dome or drum shaped and it generally wraps around 2 or 3 internal light bulbs which are diffused through the shade.

Types of Flush Mounts

Here are the most commonly found types of flush mounts you can buy online. These ceiling lights will brighten your space and be very attractive to home buyers and potential tenants as they are easy to dismount when it comes time to replace the lightbulb.

The finish is the most important consideration when choosing a flush mount. It’s the first thing people see, so think about whether you want something that stands out or blends in with the paint behind the fixture!

These are the most popular types of flush mounts :

Drum Flush Mount

A drum flush mount has flat sides and looks like a drum!

Semi-Flush Mount

This is a fixture that isn’t fully flushed against the ceiling, but remains very close. It could have a wire or a thick rod holding it in place.

Of course, beyond these major types, you can find many different styles of eclectic flush mounts, even some in the style of crystal chandeliers.
