Nicely, that’s what occurred with my seek for the right black semi-flush mount ceiling mild for the lengthy entrance into our residence fitness center. Absolutely the excellent 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 excellent 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 nowadays), so I begrudgingly started my seek for one other mild.
I didn’t wish to drag out my search, as I tend to do, so I went to Amazon, put in my search parameters (black, below $200, lower than 12 inches excessive), after which chosen my high 5 favorites out of these outcomes. Listed here 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 residence fitness center, together with the black door, and a replica and paste of the flooring that I’ll be utilizing. It’s removed from excellent, however you’ll be able to not less than get an thought of what it would appear like. And there’s no method that these lights are to scale, however we’re largely trying on the type.
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 assume that’s a really fairly mild fixture, and it was in my high 5.
Subsequent up is the Dainolite semi-flush with black shade.
I really like the clear look of this one. It’s easy and trendy with clear traces and no frills. That appears excellent for a house fitness center.
Right here’s a take 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 right star mild (one which doesn’t have clear glass that expose the bulbs, and this one suits the invoice), and the right place in our residence to place a star mild. May 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 at last, now we have 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 obtainable 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 wish to see if it stands out to all of you as properly. Which one would you select, and why?
