For budget-friendly options, look for flush mount lighting with distinctive lines or other visual textures and materials.

Henderson particularly likes drum flush mounts in beige linen, “I love the tone of this drum shade because it feels a little more unique than the standard white.”

If you have a higher budget, consider flush mount or semi-flush lights with innovative designs or made from high-quality materials like wood, polished brass, and leather.

If you want a grander piece, consider one with multiple globes. As Henderson advises, “This is perfect if you want the vibe of a chandelier but don’t have a lot of ceiling height.”

However you illuminate your ceilings, make sure your flush mounts fit accurately by adding the width and length of your space together, then converting them into inches.
