When did this light become so popular? It's pretty much synonymous with all builder-grade homes... in fact, our house has not one, but two of them.
Flush mount (I've seen it both as one word and two) lighting is tricky. Unless you have tall ceilings in every room, you most likely have flush mount lighting somewhere in your home. If I had all the money in the world I would probably have 'can' lights on a dimmer installed in every room but installing recessed lighting on a bottom story with another floor above it is too tricky for this couple to DIY (not to mention Mike's terrified of all things electricity-related).
There are a few areas in our house that I think we are going to save up to hire an electrician and properly install recessed lighting, but I actually would like a nice-looking flush mount fixture for the light inside of the front door. I'd call it our 'entryway', but I don't know that the five feet between the front door and stairway qualifies?
I talked about what we want to do with the stairs and think whatever light we choose to go here should coordinate with the overall feeling of the room. I've rounded up a few flush or semi-flush mount fixtures below... which do you like best?
