When I walked onto the aisle with light bulbs, I was completely overwhelmed. There are SO MANY choices for what I thought would be simple grab.
BUT, I did some ground work and now I’m here to share it all!
I guess when there were less choices for lightbulbs, I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know. When you look at a bulb there are three main things you will see
I had no idea what kelvin I wanted, so I found the coolest light bulb that you can change the temperature of once it is installed! I brought it home and tried it out in my fixture on several different temperatures to decide which one was my favorite
Ultimately, I recommend trying the different temperatures (kelvin) of light in your home to see what you like most with the amount of natural daylight you have, lampshades, the color of your walls, and how it bounces off your furniture, etc.
I honestly had so much fun learning this and landed on 3000k as the perfect lighting for my home. It’s bright yet still feels cozy!
