Tips for Choosing Different Bulbs for Different Rooms in Your Home

Not all are created the same—you wouldn’t want to use a bathroom vanity bulb for your bedroom lamp and vice versa. When choosing a bulb think about what kind of mood or lighting you’ll want to have in a specific room: calming or energizing; a dim, cozy glow or a bright and vivid light.

Bedroom
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: Warm lighting is helpful for nighttime, when you’re getting ready to sleep; in the morning, cooler, brighter light can help you feel alert. Dimmable soft white bulbs offer both.

Living Room
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: This hangout hub calls for warm, yellow light, to create a cozy atmosphere and flatter skin tones. Choose a bulb that’s dimmable, too, so you can amp up lighting when you need it—say, for family game night.

Bathroom
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: Some experts suggest using “daylight” bulbs, or bulbs with cooler lighting, in the bathroom, as they show colors more accurately. But there’s another school of thought: “You may find a soft white bulb more flattering,” says Rider. (In other words, just how much precision do you want in the bathroom mirror?)

Kitchen
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: This task-oriented room demands a high-quality light. Bulbs labeled “HD” generally offer the most clarity. If you regularly eat in your kitchen, consider a dimmable bulb.

Hallway
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: Floodlight-shaped bulbs focus hall lighting on the floor, making nighttime navigation easier. Consider installing a motion-sensing fixture that turns on the light automatically whenever there’s movement—you won’t have to grope for that switch in the dark again.

Dining Room
Before You Buy a Bulb, Know This: The goal is to create an intimate atmosphere where you gather for meals, so dimmable bulbs that give off a warm yellow glow are ideal. Vintage-style or candelabra bulbs are a sophisticated choice for chandeliers or pendants.

When purchasing a bulb at the hardware store, abide to the recommended-wattage label taped to the lamp cord, or specified on the lighting fixture. It’s a safety issue—that label lets you know how much heat the fixture can handle without damaging the socket and internal wiring. If you’re using a standard incandescent bulb, you should be especially obedient about the wattage guide.
