We often don’t have much height to work with in our new build living rooms. But that doesn’t mean our lighting has to fade into the background.
Ceiling lights don’t just have to serve a functional purpose; they can help to add interest, texture and character. A carefully selected flush or semi-flush fitting can anchor a space, elevate décor and create impact in your living room without compromising on space.
So, here is our top pick of five flush ceiling lights that prove lower ceilings can still make a statement.
1. Green Uplighter Flush Ceiling Light

This natural flush ceiling light would fit in seamlessly with any living room scheme. It’s beautiful as a standalone piece, or repeated if you have a larger living space.
3. Classic Semi Flush Ceiling Light
John Lewis | £90
This classic light fitting with semi-flush shades is perfect for lower ceilings. Also available in an antique brass or bronze base.
