How to Choose the Right Color Temperature for Home Lighting

What is the color temperature?

To put it simply, color temperature refers to the color of light, which can also be understood as the viewing angle temperature that light brings to you.

Today I will share with you what color temperature is suitable for each area of the home!

First of all, the color temperature of a lamp is simply the color of the light.

The yellower the light color, the lower the Kelvin value of the color temperature; the whiter the light color, the higher the Kelvin value of the color temperature.

The light is yellowish, and the visual effect looks warm and warm, so it is generally called warm light.

The light is white, and the visual effect looks bright and cool, so it is called cold light.

The color temperature generally used for household lamps.

Color temperature 3000k: The light effect is warm, creating a warm atmosphere.

Color temperature 3500k: The light effect is soft, the most suitable color temperature for minimalist log style.

Color temperature 4000k: The light effect is close to natural light, bright and refreshing without oppression.

Color temperature 6000k: Sufficient light, creating a bright scene, rarely used at home.

First of all, the lighting we choose for home decoration is different for everyone. We must first figure out what kind of lighting atmosphere we like before choosing an accurate color temperature.

If you want to pursue a warm and atmospheric effect, you can choose a color temperature of 2700-4000k.

If you want a bright and clear effect, you can choose a color temperature of 4000-6500k.

Using Color Temperature at Your Home

Living Room 3500K-4000K
The living room is the main area for meeting guests and the host's activities, so it is recommended to use bright and warm natural color temperature---4000k.

Dining Room 3500K-4000K
The dining room is the main dining area in the home. Choosing the right light color can increase appetite, so it is recommended to choose a neutral light of 3500k-4000k.

Bedroom 3000K-3500K
The bedroom is mainly used for relaxation and sleep, so the color temperature of the light is recommended to be 3000-3500k.

Kitchen 4000K-5000K
The kitchen is an area of delicate work. When choosing the color temperature, you need to consider the lighting effect and the impact of the color temperature on food. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a color temperature in the range of 4000-5000k.

Linear light strip: 3000k, 3500k, 4000k are generally recommended, and 6000k white light is not recommended. The color temperature of the light strip can be lower than the home decoration color temperature to create a sense of layering, or the same color temperature can be used. It is not recommended to make the color temperature of the light strip too high.

Note：Try to choose the same color temperature for all lamps in the same space. If you want the lighting to be more layered, it is also recommended that the difference in color temperature should not exceed 500K, otherwise it will easily cause visual fatigue over time.
