Brighten Your Space With Metal Flushmount Lights
When you want to add overhead lighting but you don't have a lot of vertical space available, flushmount lights are the clear choice. Pottery Barn offers a wide selection of metal flushmount lights to choose from, making it easy to discover a style that will provide the brightness you need and the style you crave.
Choosing Metal Flushmount Lights For Any Space
Flushmount lights get their name because they mount flush to the ceiling, minimizing vertical drop. They are one of the most versatile choices for decorating a home because they fit so many different spaces. Mount them in a bedroom, hallway, powder room, laundry room, or sitting area. Once you've decided a flushmount light is the right choice for your room, narrow down the many options by considering the key features of the piece, such as:
- Design Style: Lighting is functional but it's also a great way to make a stylish statement in your space. Consider the overall design style of your home and choose a flushmount light with a look that will reflect the mood of the space and coordinate with the pieces you already have.
- Dimensions: Flushmount lights are frequently used in homes with lower ceilings. Check out the dimensions of the piece to ensure they'll make the right fit for the space.
- Metal Finish: Metal construction provides incredible durability but metal comes in many different finishes. Check out the existing metal finishes featured in your room and select a flushmount light in a finish that will enhance the existing items in the space. Black, copper, brass, silver, gold and bronze are among some of the most popular options.
- Shade: The shade of the fixture goes a long way to determining the light output. Clear shades provide maximum brightness while opaque shades provide a softer diffusion of light. Consider the needs of the space and choose a fixture that offers the ideal level of light output.
Choose Coordinating Fixtures
If you have an open-concept home, chances are your flushmount light will be within sightlines of other fixtures in your space. Many of the metal flushmount lights offered at Pottery Barn are part of larger collections, making it easy to discover coordinating chandeliers, pendant lights, ceiling fans and wall sconces you can use in other rooms of the home, as well. If multiple flushmount lights are used down the length of a hallway, choose a smaller, simpler design.
