I coined a phase to refer to a certain style of decorating/doing things around the home. I call it Early Fraternity.
Here is just one example. One of the light bulbs burned out in the hall. My husband Jason replaced the burned out with another that we had on hand.
The result? You can see for yourself two different color temperatures. One is cool (background), the other is warm (foreground). I find it visually distracting to have two color temperatures in the same space.
Jason thought that the cooler light provided more light. The amount of light provided depends on light output, which is measured in lumens. When purchasing bulbs, read the package to see how may lumens are proved and the color temperature.
I prefer warm color temperature, so I'll purchase some new bulbs this weekend.

We have this problem all over our house too!! We agree with Jason that the cooler colors provide more light, and we are also trying to change all of our bulbs to LED. The combined need for the not so popular cool color in differing sizes (because of our ceiling fans)has resulted in a sometimes frustrating search for bulbs that match our needs in the small but growing LED market. But we will make it! someday... :)
