Guest post- Choosing Close to Ceiling Lights- Right Size and Right Style

Lighting fixtures have metamorphosed
into key décor pieces from just being sources of light. The ever- changing
lighting trends and the plethora of designs available in the market might just
leave you confused. Choosing and picking lighting options for large spaces is
not very difficult.

But
what do you do when you do not have the luxury of space and high ceilings?

Well, close to ceiling
lights come to your rescue. Perfect for small rooms, they don’t require you to
loosen those purse strings too much. One reason why we really loved them is
because they seem to convey a more casual setting than fancy chandeliers. 

Sift through the variety of close to
ceiling lights on DecoraUSA and take your pick from flush
mounts and semi-flush mounts. Here are some simple tips on what you need to
look out for while choosing the best close to ceiling lights for your home.

The
first question pops up-Which close to ceiling light do I choose-a flush mount
or a semi-flush mount?

Let your ceiling height do
the talking. For ceiling heights below 8’, you can install
flush mounts. These lights are attached directly to the
ceiling leaving absolutely no gap between the ceiling and the fixture, giving
you more space to walk underneath. Consider semi-flush mounts for ceiling
heights between 9’ to 10’. They hang down from the ceiling, but not very low,
so again you get adequate space below.

Depending on your
requirement, you can use these mounts in compact spaces like the dining room,
entry-way, bed room, bathrooms, kitchens, and closets. With antique brass,
polished chrome, gold, pewter and more finishes, you get a wide selection of
lights. 

In the closets, lights
fulfill a practical need so make sure that they do not make a loud statement
themselves. You can even get in dimmers next to the bed in the bathrooms to
create a subtle light effect. We loved the modern flush mounts too. They look
fabulous with their clean, contemporary lines and blend easily with any
interior (Always try to match your lighting fixtures with the central decor
pieces of the room for a neat presentation). Crystal and glass flush mounts
definitely add more zing to the surroundings.

Despite the fact that you
get limited bulb options with close to ceiling lights, the light effect is
lovely. Decorating with close to ceiling lights can be even more fun because
they call for easy installation (a DIY many times!) and hassle-free
maintenance.

The
Bottomline: While choosing close to ceiling lights, it
is all about striking the right balance between the ceiling height, room
dimensions and the lighting fixture.
