Guide To Lighting For Every Room (Budget & Eco-Friendly)
Lighting is such an exciting part of the home renovation and decorating process. Light fixtures and even light bulbs can make a statement and add style to any room. Also, the shade of light can have a huge impact on how a room makes us feel.
When it comes to light bulbs, most of us think they’re just something we stick into a lamp in order to see in the dark. BUT, there’s actually a lot more to consider and many benefits the right light bulbs can provide for our homes!
I’m excited to be partnering with The Home Depot to share our latest home upgrade.
We recently updated all the light bulbs in our Los Angeles home, replacing the incandescent bulbs with Ecosmart’s NEW LED light bulbs which are energy efficient, save us money and also give each light fixture a stylish “Edison bulb” look. Since Ecosmart light bulbs come in various color temperatures, we paid close attention to the shade of light and how we want to feel in each room throughout our home. Here’s my guide to lighting and shade of light to consider for every room in your home.
LIVING ROOM
Our living room spaces are at times full of energy while also being a place of relaxation so ideally, our lighting would adapt to our needs in the space. Ecosmart’s Dimmable Recessed Light Bulbs offer a 5 color selectable toggle as well as DUOBRIGHT which allows you to adjust between Daylight to Sunset Glow using your existing dimmer. This setting allows you to get all the shades of light rolled into one bulb.
100-Watt Equivalent Dimmable LED Light Bulb with Selectable Color Temperature Plus DuoBright
As for living room table lamps, I would suggest BRIGHT WHITE especially if you have a dimmer.
ENTRYWAY
We have a lantern light in our entryway that we like to leave on as a night light. Since we leave this on all the time it was necessary to have an Ecosmart light bulb to save on energy and also add a beautiful warm amber light to one of my favorite lamps.
The Ecosmart 60W Equivalent LED Amber Light bulb is dimmable and only uses 7 watts of energy to produce 60 watts of light!
KITCHEN
We need ample light in our kitchens to cook and gather OR soft, mood lighting to dine. These Vintage Style Ecosmart Light Bulbs are available in DAYLIGHT, BRIGHT WHITE and WARM WHITE and will also add a stylish “Edison Bulb” look to any light fixture especially those with an open shade.
BEDROOM
Our bedrooms should feel calming and cozy so opt for WARM WHITE or BRIGHT WHITE to create a relaxing space to wind down from the day.
Ecosmart LED bulbs also put off far less heat than incandescent bulbs do which makes them safer and can last up to 10 years.
BATHROOM
Opt for a cooler (or brighter) shade of light like DAYLIGHT for the bathroom which is great for where you apply makeup and pair outfits.
OUTDOOR PATIO
Since outdoor lights are on at night and often shine into your home, opt for a warmer shade of light like SOFT WHITE. Ecosmart light bulbs provide the authentic look of incandescent with the benefits of LED.
Think about how you want to feel in each room and pick a temperature of light that will create that environment. You can shop the full line of Ecosmart’s NEW LED Light Bulbs exclusively at The Home Depot.
