Flush Ceiling Lights

Flush ceiling lights lie totally flat with the ceiling to maximize the height of your room. Flush lights can hang in any part of the kitchen but they’re best used as the main source of light- not necessarily to go over your table or island. Depending on the size of your kitchen you might need more than one fixture to provide enough light for the room.

The photo above shows the ceiling light hung in the middle of a mid-sized kitchen- honestly, this flush mount is too small for the space. The best choice for the room would have been to use at least two (if not more) of the star flush lights, one for the center of the room and one over the sink. You always want your lighting to be large enough to fill the space.

The ceiling light can also be used as a wall sconce – how cool is that?
