The most common lighting mistake—solved.

It’s not often that I give you a quick fix, no demolition needed way to make your home feel better. We’re talking light bulb color temperature, not just brightness. And yes, those “Daylight” bulbs might be ruining your vibe.

Most homes are lit with the wrong bulbs — and it’s not your fault. Marketing terms like “daylight,” “cool white,” and “soft white” sound helpful, but they’re actually meaningless. The real problem? Using the wrong color temperature can make your home feel cold, uninviting, or just off.

This isn’t in the video, but an insider tip if you’re curious to go deeper, this one book has stuck with me. It’s simple, solid, and surprisingly useful.

And if you're planning a new home or renovation and want lighting that actually feels amazing to live with, that's the kind of work I do. Connect with me here.
