Our Top Flush-Mount Light Fixture Picks

In a world where gilt pendants, sparkling chandeliers, hand-finished sconces and lustrous library lights exist, it can be challenging to muster up any excitement about flush-mounted light fixtures. These practical, but often not-so-pretty, light fixtures are mainstays for homes, apartments and rooms with standard and low ceiling heights because they attach directly to the ceiling, maximizing the head clearance below. And although they're typically just boring builder-grade lights that often get overlooked, we're here to show you that these space-saving fixtures can be just as thrilling and stylish as those flashy pendants and chandeliers.

We spent hours combing through flush-mount lights online and compared dimensions, materials, customer ratings, styles and unique features to curate a shopping list of the best fixtures on the market. Read on to get the 411 on the best flush-mount light fixtures for every style and budget, and shop your favorites in the links below. Spoiler alert: Those builder-grade lights didn't make our list.
