Natural light is essential to our happiness and sense of well-being. Light gives you a feeling of peace and serenity. There are many types of lighting to discuss here…the natural kind and the man-made kind. Light is a major contributor to the atmosphere you create. Are you giving thought to every purchase and ensuring each space is working to its maximum capability?
Get your home lighting right. Consider this puzzle carefully. It is an art. The wrong color bulb can make your living room feel cold and unwelcoming but the right one can make the same room feel warm, inviting and ideal to hang in for long periods of time. Does your home have different kinds of lighting for projects and for entertaining guests?
Here's a breakdown of light bulb color temperature:
•Soft white (2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin) is warm and yellow, the typical color range you get from incandescent bulbs. This light gives a warm and cozy feeling and is often best for living rooms, dens and bedrooms.
•Warm white (3,000 to 4,000 Kelvin) is more yellowish-white. These bulbs are best suited for kitchens and bathrooms.
•Bright white (4,000 to 5,000 Kelvin) is between white and blue tones. With a less cozy and more energetic feel, bulbs with this color range are best for work spaces (like a home office or garage)
•Daylight (5,000 to 6,500 Kelvin) has a more bluish tone. This light color will maximize contrast for colors, making it ideal for working, reading or applying makeup.
