All options are, for the most part, modern ceiling lights – both flush mount and semi-flush mount boob light alternatives for your home. Let’s dig in!

Flush Mount Ceiling Lights – Boob Light Alternatives

  1. 18″ Brushed Brass flush mount ceiling light
  2. Crawford 14″ Flush Mount has that sleek mid-century design
  3. Sylvan White Oatmeal ceiling light – a popular choice and under $150
  4. Edie Alabaster (sold out) stone flush mount light fixture
  5. Melber 14″ Wide Warm Brass ceiling light
  6. Ariel Fluted Marble light (sold out) – the reviews on this ceiling light are mixed. The biggest complaint is that it is a dim light, so I would use multiples or use it only as an accent. Do not expect it to light up an entire room.
  7. Flush mount Liberty Gold ceiling light.
  8. Ernst 1 Light (sold out) LED flush mount – this one doesn’t look like much here, but she’s a beauty!
  9. Kirby Vibrant Gold Drum light

The first thing I update in any room is the lighting; it’s the jewelry of any space. And when it comes to ceiling lights, there are so many boob light alternatives out there. I know they are incredibly cheap, but why do builders insist on them? I mean, we even gave them the worst nickname on the planet – boob light – I mean ewe gross. No one wants that on their ceiling.

TIP FOR RENTERS: This flush mount converter kit is the perfect alternative for renters looking to elevate their boob lights.

Even if you’re a renter, you can probably replace your builder-grade boob lights. If you have access to the breaker box, turn off the power, remove it, and replace it with something prettier until you move out. Just maybe don’t tell your landlord.

The only one that looks like a flower at the bottom, by Crystorama, is pricy but worth every penny. It is a showstopper in the guest bedroom. Not sure I’d want 3 of them in my walk-in closet, but it still deserved to be in this boob light alternatives ceiling light round-up.
