Many of us have a room that would benefit from a
flush mounted ceiling light. Because they hug the ceiling, they are ideal for smaller spaces like cloakrooms, landings,
boot rooms or utilities, where they don't take up too much space, and are essential in
homes with low ceilings where
hanging pendants might get in the way. These neat ceiling sconces are designed to provide even, ambient light and started out as purely functional lighting for industrial or commercial spaces, but have evolved into the beautiful array of designs that we have today that have become an essential element of interior design.

We believe passionately that all lighting and home fittings should be able to deliver a design statement, no matter how small and practical they are so here, we have curated a collection of some of our most popular flush and semi-flush ceiling lights that will elevate your space as well as offer a range of lighting solutions in your home.
First off, What is a flush mount ceiling light?Flush mounted ceiling lights are lighting fixtures that are fitted directly onto the ceiling with no space, or only a small space, between the fixture and ceiling surface. They can be made of any material and can be enclosed to direct light downward, or open to ensure a maximum spread of light. They are mainly chosen for their space-saving properties and because they light up a room beautifully without the potential hazard of dangling wires or low-hanging bulbs.
Where are flush mount ceiling lights most commonly used?
1. BEDROOMS
For a space-saving lighting option, flush ceiling lights are perfect for the
bedroom where they can provide a comforting and warm ambiance and tuck neatly into the space between eves, wooden beams or spaces with a low ceiling. Consider using them with a
dimmer switch so that you can adjust the light intensity according to your mood or time of day.
THE SHOTLEY FLUTED
Our
Shotley Fluted Flush Mount makes the perfect addition for your bedroom lighting because its beautifully reflective glass shade creates an open, airy feeling in a room, allowing light to disperse evenly without encroaching on the sense of space, ideal for smaller bedrooms or those with shadowy nooks and crannies. Available in three glass designs - clear, fluted and fine fluted - skilfully handblown by our partners at
Suffolk Glass, the Shotley lends softness and serenity to your bedroom setting as seen styled here by

2. HALLWAYS & LANDINGS
As the rooms we enter when we arrive home, hallways are essential for creating that first all important impression, setting the tone for the rest of our home. Yet they often narrow with limited space that really benefit from effective lighting for safe passage and to create a sense of flow as you move from one room to the next. A well chosen flush mount fitted on its own or in a row along a corridor or landing, is often an ideal choice for these areas.
THE NEWTON FLUTED & CLUB FLUSH MOUNTS
If you prefer a focused beam of light, our much loved
Club Flush Mount is a neat downlighter that produces a soft pool of light that is channlled down by its metal shade. With a classic silhouette and vintage presence, it adds character to any room where its rich brass patina complements any colour tone. For a softer touch, our versatile
Flush Fitting Ceiling Mount light can be paired with a pendant shade of your choice to compliment your interior. We suggest one of our
15cm Pendant Empire shades or
20cm Pendant French Drum shades makes a perfect partner.
For those who love the look of our popular Club lights, but favour the artistry of hand blown glass, our
Newton Fluted/Fine Fluted flush mounts have a similar appeal but with the added benefit of naturally reflective glass. The beauty of glass is that it creates a sense of an open and airy space that makes the most of any natural light without encroaching on the space, making small rooms seem larger and dark rooms lighter.
