The recommended light temperature to use in a home varies between 2,700 and 4,000 Kelvin Degrees, depending on each room and also according to one's own tastes.
Since some of our customers prefer warmer light. While others of our customers opt for the more neutral and cold light.

In iluxiform.com we are specialists in lighting. So below you will see some of our recommendations for choosing the right light temperature in each room:

Kitchen:

It is recommended to use a Neutral Light of 4,000K. Correct lighting will allow us to cook and perform all tasks in the kitchen with competent lighting

Kitchen Open to Living Room:

Many people have the kitchen open to the living room. In this case, it is recommended to use either warm 3,000K or neutral-cool 4,000K lighting in both rooms. In no case is it recommended to use different light colors in the same room. In case you have any doubts, we recommend contacting lighting specialists.

Bathrooms:

Lighting in the bathroom helps us when applying make-up, shaving, waxing, etc. Therefore it is necessary a light that illuminates us without distorting the colors: Neutral Light 4.000K. On the other hand, use a neutral-cool color temperature of 4,000K to achieve an effect of a larger bathroom (this is a good visual trick for small bathrooms).

Living-Dining Room:

For the room in the house where we spend the most hours of the day, we recommend warm lighting. This can vary between 2,700K (very warm) or 3,000K (warm), depending on the preferences of each person. The most commonly used light temperature is 3,000K. Achieving a pleasant dining room is ideal to be able to be quiet and share moments with friends and family.

Hallway or Foyer:

Just like the Living Room or Dining Room, the Hallway or Foyer has to have a warm type of lighting. For this reason, it is recommended to use the same color in these rooms as in the other rooms of the house. For example, if 3,000K has been chosen for the Dining Room and Bedrooms, the Hallway should have the same Kelvin Degrees.

Bedrooms:

You could say that warm light is almost mandatory in this room. This is where we need to relax peacefully. The warm light will be in charge of helping you with visual relaxation. You can use 2,700-3,000K, depending on the Kelvin Degrees that have been used in the living-dining room. From iluxiform.com we recommend using the same Kelvin Degrees in all rooms of the house (except kitchen and bathroom).
