Rattan Flush Mount Lights

Rattan flush mount lights are a versatile choice for many interior design styles. The compact nature of flush mount ceiling lights allow them to be used in a variety of spaces while the organic warmth of rattan adds a touch of bohemian aesthetic.

Rattan flush mount lights can be incorporated into spaces where moisture is not a factor like living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining rooms. 

How Much Light Does a Rattan Shade Give Off?

The woven nature of rattan creates a soft, earthy pattern that infuses any space with a diffused glow. The ambient illumination of rattan flush mount fixtures make them a great choice for spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

Rattan shades give off a good amount of light but are less suited to areas where focused task lighting is more appropriate. 

What Size Flush Mount Suits My Room?

Choosing the right size flush mount will help the light fixture look proportionate to the surrounding space. A general design rule is to add the room’s dimensions in feet to give you the right diameter for your flush mount.

As an example, a 9 foot by 9 foot room would be best suited to an 18 inch diameter flush mount. For large spaces, you can either install one large flush mount or use several spread evenly across the ceiling for even illumination. 

Can Rattan Go in a Bathroom or Covered Porch?

While rattan has a beautiful earthy look, the organic nature of this material means it’s not best suited for areas that are exposed to moisture. Rattan is a porous material and will absorb moisture, which can lead to mold and damage the fixture.

Rattan flush mounts are a great choice for dry environments in the home like the bedroom, hallways, or living rooms instead.
