Effectively, that’s what occurred with my seek for the proper black semi-flush mount ceiling mild for the lengthy entrance into our dwelling fitness center. Absolutely the good mild was this black and gold semi-flush light from Target. And it’s solely $90!
Nevertheless it’s unavailable, and there’s no indication when it’ll be again in inventory. As good as that mild is, I’m too impatient to attend round for it to be restocked (particularly contemplating how lengthy stuff like that’s taking lately), so I begrudgingly started my seek for one other mild.
I didn’t need to drag out my search, as I tend to do, so I went to Amazon, put in my search parameters (black, beneath $200, lower than 12 inches excessive), after which chosen my prime 5 favorites out of these outcomes. Listed below are these 5.
- Log Barn semi-flush ceiling light with seeded glass, $149
- Dainolite semi-flush 3-light with black shade, $120
- Vanity Art 2-light star semi-flush light, $179
- Dainolite matte black semi-flush light, $170
- Dainolite 3-light aged brass with black shade, $140
So I did some mock ups of these lights within the dwelling fitness center, together with the black door, and a duplicate and paste of the flooring that I’ll be utilizing. It’s removed from good, however you’ll be able to at the least get an concept of what it can seem like. And there’s no approach that these lights are to scale, however we’re principally trying on the model.
Right here’s the primary Log Barn semi-flush light with the seeded glass.
I’m usually not an enormous fan of seeded glass just because I don’t like uncovered bulbs (with only a few exceptions), and seeded glass doesn’t obscure the bulbs fairly sufficient for my style. However I do suppose that’s a really fairly mild fixture, and it was in my prime 5.
Subsequent up is the Dainolite semi-flush with black shade.
I like the clear look of this one. It’s easy and fashionable with clear traces and no frills. That appears good for a house fitness center.
Right here’s a have a look at the Vanity Art star semi-flush light.
I’ve to confess that I LOVE star lights, and I’ve been looking out for the proper star mild (one which doesn’t have clear glass that expose the bulbs, and this one matches the invoice), and the proper place in our dwelling to place a star mild. Might this be it?
Subsequent, let’s check out the Dainolite matte black semi-flush light.
I’m undecided how I really feel concerning the traces on the sunshine with the strips on the wall. It might be too visually busy. However I do like the sunshine!
And eventually, we’ve got the Dainolite aged brass fixture with black shade.
That mock up appears humorous as a result of it’s a sq. mild, however the one image accessible was taken from an angle. Clearly, if I used this mild, the sq. shade could be squared up with the partitions. 😀 My perfectionism with slight OCD tendencies would make me cringe each time I noticed this mild if it weren’t squared up completely with the partitions.
Doing these mock ups actually helps to slim down the choice. As I used to be doing them this morning, one mild stood out to me as the most suitable choice for this space. I gained’t let you know which one stood out to me, as a result of I need to see if it stands out to all of you as properly. Which one would you select, and why?
