Most people focus purely on the design of the fixture, but the actual bulb specs on the back of the box are what make or break your room’s atmosphere.
Here’s your quick checklist:
• Kelvin (K): Sets the mood. Stick to 2700K–3000K for living rooms and bedrooms to get that warm, cozy glow. Anything over 4000K feels like an office.
• CRI (90+): Ensures true color rendering. Low CRI makes rich wall paints and luxury fabrics look flat and muddy.
• Lumens over Watts: Watts measure energy pull, not light output. Lumens tell you how bright the bulb actually is.
