Black Finish Ceiling Lighting

Black finish ceiling lighting refers to lighting that features black detailing, whether dark metal or cast aluminum. Set the mood of a room in your home with black finish ceiling lighting, such as dramatic chandelier-inspired pieces for the living room or modern black finish pieces for a living room featuring black and white furniture and decor.


Outdoor Light Fixtures


Outdoor light fixtures that feature black detailing can be used as black finish ceiling lighting for front porches, back porches, screened-in porches and sun rooms, as well as mudrooms and foyers. Such fixtures often come in dome shapes with black trim, particularly if they are ENERGY STAR-approved, though square and octagonal shapes are also available. Outdoor light fixtures are often flush, meaning they attach directly to the ceiling without any hanging features, and come in various designs, ranging from simple to intricate.


Hanging "Primitive" Light Fixtures


"Primitive" black finish ceiling lighting includes lighting in candelabra/chandelier style that features bulbs in the shapes of candle flames and can include hanging black ornaments, such as black faux jewels, as well as clear faux diamond jewels. Intricate black metal designs may also be featured, though plainer versions are also available. Such fixtures work well in dining rooms, though they can also work in decorated front halls, entryways or basement recreation rooms.








"Modern" Light Fixtures


"Modern" black finish ceiling lighting can include a wide range of styles, including hanging and flush light fixtures. Options include fixtures featuring long silver wires with black halogen capsule bulbs on the end, resembling an upside-down shrub. Metal bent into swirls with light bulbs on the ends is another "modern" option, while hanging, black and white spiky balls are also available. Other modern black finish ceiling lighting options include black-painted wood or plastic shaped into an object, such as a human form, with light fixtures featured on the head and appendages.


Semi-Flush Fixtures


Semi-flush fixtures are types of fixtures that are not fully attached to the ceiling but do not hang from the ceiling as other types of light fixtures do. Rather, they are often dome-shaped in appearance, like outdoor flush fixtures, but the majority of the fixture is still close to the ceiling, unlike most hanging fixtures. Triangular shapes are also available, with black finish ranging from the simple and basic to the intricate, such as metal pieces shaped into curls and other designs.
