The 15 Best Semi-Flush Mounts for Low Ceilings

If your home is anything like this author's, it has low ceilings. And that's probably what brought you here today! Ceiling lights are a need when it comes to home lighting. But what do you do if you want attractive, modern lighting that goes beyond recessed lights or builder-grade flush mounts? Enter the semi-flush mount. Semi-flush mounts are the perfect lighting choice for homes with low ceilings. They are typically stylish, provide enough lighting, and don't hang too low.

Here are our selections for the fifteen best semi-flush mounts for low ceilings.

Whitecap Four Light Semi-flush by Quoizel. This semi-flush mount features brushed gold paired with alabaster glass. It's ideal for lower ceilings and with four light bulbs provides plenty of light for a small living room or family room.
Sasha Semi-flush Mount by Hinkley. Sasha is chic, yet casual, with natural texture accents. The shade is hand-wrapped in natural-fiber cord. The glass diffuser beautifully disperses the light from the four bulbs.
Quartz Quarters Four Light Semi-flush by Trans Globe. This is one of Lighting Design's best-selling semi-flush mounts. The ribbed glass makes it ideal for providing ample lighting for bedrooms, offices, and other parts of the home. And with four light bulbs that light up its antique gold finish, it's sure to be an eye-pleaser.
Ashe Five Light Semi-flush by Savoy House. This organic, modern semi-flush is a great way to invite organic style into your home. Five lights means you will have plenty of provided light, and the slim height profile of 8" allows you to install the light fixture on ceilings as low as 7 feet.
Eden Three Light Semi-flush by Capital Lighting. Botanically inspired, the Eden Semi-Flush brings sophisticated style into any space. The Antique Gold finish creates its own unique beauty, giving this luminaire an everlasting glow.
Paisley One Light Semi-flush by Alora.
The Paisley lighting collection is a real showstopper! With its semi-flush design and stack of decorative metal beads that look like vintage earrings, it's got a touch of elegance and a playful vibe. And the glossy glass dome shade adds a modern twist, making it a must-have for any room.
Bongo Three Light Semi-flush by Maxim. What makes the Bongo a perfect choice semi-flush mount is the classic drum shade. Available in black, gold, and satin nickel finishes, this is a timeless lighting selection for any modern home.
Stassi Two Light Semi-flush by Visual Comfort Studio. Reminiscent of a spring tulip, the Stassi series by Alexa Hampton updates Art Nouveau inspiration with a modern aesthetic. The scalloped basket silhouette is completed by the contrast of the metal chain and white linen. The chandelier will create a harmonious statement hanging in a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Alana Three Light Semi-flush by Mitzi Lighting. Alana keeps things light and airy. A pretty scalloped shade in white linen is adorned by aged brass accents. This particular semi-flush light would go perfectly in a guest bedroom or a girl's room.
Amalia Three Semi-flush by Quoizel. This new introduction from Quoizel Lighting offers the allure of old-world romance. The soft gold finish harmonizes with natural mica shades. It is available as a pendant or semi-flush and is perfect for bedrooms, hallways, or any space that needs warmth.
Shailene Three Light Semi-flush by Kichler Lighting. Another classic light silhouette is the Shailene semi-flush. It works in several aesthetic environments, included tradtional and transitional homes.

Cody Four Light Semi-flush by Capital Lighting. Another 2026 new lighting release, the Cody is a dramatic centerpiece. The wood is carved by hand, and the acrylic diffuser brings a polished look to the Nordic-stained, mango wood. At 20" wide, it takes up space lengthwise while the height profile sits at only 8.25". Perfect for any bedroom, hallway, living room, or otherwise with a low ceiling.
Milton Road One Light Semi-flush by Visual Comfort. Milton Road is a classic, schoolhouse semi-flush light. Pairing well with traditional and transitional home styles. It only has one light bulb, though, so it's best suited for multiple places down a hallway or living rooms that have canned lighting available.
Freya Semi-flush Mount by Fredrick Ramond.
Juxtaposing unconventional materials and naturally inspired detailing with the timelessness of traditional tiered chandeliers, Freya's cascading shade is draped with intricate beadwork. Individual strands of wooden beads are hung from hand-painted Burnished Gold frames to form bohemian curtains that cast beautiful shadows from warm candelabra lamps.
