9 Gorgeous Flush Mount Lights to Replace Boob Lights

Have you ever noticed how something can be totally fine for years but once you look at, really look, it drives you crazy? I do this all the time. It’s not a great habit. Sometimes, I can become a little too fixated. Maybe it’s a stairway handrail or a tray ceiling or an off-centered window. For me, it’s those builder grade flush mount lights. You know the ones I’m talking about, the ones like these that look like boobs?! (sorry, they do). They’re totally fine and functional but one day I laid in bed and looked up and thought, these really could be a lot prettier. And so, my mission to find pretty and affordable flush mount lights for the new house began.

Flush Mount Light Inspiration

I really love almost everything Emily Henderson does. Plus her recent Portland project is in the same region as our new home, both are a little wooded and have those long gray Oregon winters.

I figure she knows a thing or two about lights 😉 Her entryway above is so light and airy plus the light makes it seem even bigger (it’s similar to this one). I’m definitely taking inspiration from her!

Basically what mudroom dreams are made of right here. All the details like the wood door, tiles, and vintage-y light make for a really great space.

I’m pretty obsessed with this hallway from Lindsay Hill Interiors. You might recognize it from my post on how to add character to a basic house. Black cage lights, like this one, make a bold contrast to the white walls.

Grit + Polish are do some of my favorite remodeling work. This bedroom looks so timeless and easy, especially with the sweet flush mount lights they’ve used. (Similar vintage inspired light here ).
