Been in lighting nearly 14 years and can't work out why anyone would even consider 'cool white' for any area of your home. It's a horrible and harsh lightespecially if the CRI is 80 or lower, your skin will look green you look like your rotting. I refuse to sell anything in cool white.

I personally think 2700k is perfect for all areas of a home with varying brightness. If you really must go lighter than 4000k which is more of a Natural White is where you need to stop.

In my home all my task / primary lighting is 2700k and i have 2200k and 2000k lamps scattered around in table lamps, bedside lamps etc for relaxing/dining

What do you do in daylight - wear yellow tinted glasses?

Cool white in the kitchen, warm everywhere else.

Cool in kitchen, warm in other rooms for us.

However, most rooms have dimmable LEDs, and the Philips Warmglow ones are awesome:

They make it so that as you dim them, it gets warmer.

What do you do when it's raining outside and you're in your home - stand in a shower until it stops raining?
