They're all ambiance-so they do their best work in the living room, dining room, and bedroom.
Warm White (2400K): The warmest color temperature, warm white bulbs more closely resemble candle light than a bulb at all. It will pull out the reds and oranges in your decor, so relegate them to rooms that aren't too blue. Soft White (2700 to 3000K): This is what classic incandescents emit: a gentle, yellowish, familiar light that's warmer than a cool white bulb would give off. 
Cool White (4100K): A great workhorse bulb for your kitchen and bathrooms (or for any room where the decor is blue or green rather than reddish in color), cool whites are crisp without feeling overly so.Īnd on the other end of the spectrum, best for rooms where knife work isn't required, are the warmer options:. (Reading, Jori tells me, has actually been proven to be easier under daylight bulbs than any other.) Style-wise, they'll make cool-colored decorations pop but will muddy any orangey decor. Rather than using them everywhere in a kitchen, spring for them as accents where you do food prep or read recipes, for example. Daylight (5000K): With a white, almost bluish light, daylight bulbs are meant to "resemble noon on a cloudless day" (I'm thinking this is what my fluorescents must be). Here are the different options you can shop for, starting with the most kitchen-friendly: Besides affecting visibility, the color of a bulb can also change the dynamic of a space just as any other element of decor can. Cooler bulbs are easier to see by, so that's what you want to rely on in the kitchen-whereas warmer bulbs give off that cozy, casual vibe that makes lounges and restaurants so inviting.
