Many UK homes have low ceilings, which can make your living spaces feel small and dark. Luckily, there is a quick and simple way to add light and bring the illusion of space into homes with low ceilings. 

Instead of low-hanging pendant lights, you can install ceiling flush lights to add more room. But what is the difference between these two common types of lights? And what will work best for your home? The experts at Poole Lighting take the time to explain it all in this blog. 

What Are Flush Ceiling Lights?

Ceiling flush lights are fixtures that sit snugly against the ceiling, making them ideal for spaces where headroom is limited. With no hanging elements, they offer a sleek and unobtrusive look while still delivering ample illumination. These lights are perfect for hallways, bathrooms, and other smaller rooms where ceiling height is at a premium.

What Are Ceiling Pendants?

Pendant lights hang down from the ceiling on cords or chains and are often used as statement pieces in living rooms, dining areas or above kitchen islands. While stylish and versatile, pendant lights can overwhelm rooms with low ceilings. If your ceiling is too low, pendant lights can create visual clutter or even pose a hazard.

Why Choose Ceiling Lights?

Ceiling flush lights are an excellent choice for low-ceilinged spaces. Thanks to their compact profile, they can blend seamlessly into a room’s design. Despite being flush with the ceiling, these lights still provide strong ambient lighting. Their minimalist look works well in both modern and traditional interiors.

Why Choose Ceiling Pendants?

Pendant lights shine in rooms with higher ceilings or where focused task lighting is needed. They add personality and depth to a space. However, in rooms with lower ceilings, they can make the room feel cramped.
