What type of lighting do you have in your home? Maybe you have recessed lights mounted in your kitchen, or perhaps some table and floor lamps decorate your main living space. But if you live in an older home, a rental unit, or even a dorm, there's a strong chance that one (if not more) of your rooms is adorned with an ugly ceiling light – aka the 'boob light'.
What is the 'boob light', you ask? It's a term many have used to describe the infamous big light in interiors – a flush mount ceiling light centered to the room that protrudes downward and has horrible light output. It's a lighting idea that leaves interior design lovers like myself wondering why it even got so popular in the first place. Sure, its simple design and easy installation might seem attractive to some, but the boob light is so often plain ugly.
