1. When are you at home the most? If you are at home mostly in the evenings, then warmer color temperatures, such as 2700K warm white LED bulbs, are likely the best option. They are more relaxing, less likely to disrupt your sleep patterns and will provide a similar glow to traditional 60 watt incandescent bulbs

In the bathroom. Pendants hung in front or to the sides of a mirror in a bathroom can be a good alternative to more traditional sconces. The height at which they are hung should provide the best lighting while avoiding being so low that one would bump their head when leaning over the sink. When selecting fixtures for a bathroom make certain they are rated for damp rooms.
If you like an oversized fixture but don’t want it to eat up so much visual real estate, consider pendants with large clear glass shades. These will carry the dramatic scale that makes a high-end statement but with a lighter look and often a lighter price tag than a more intricate fixture.
As mentioned before, larger pendants (when hung high) will make the inside of the shade visible. In this case, an interesting finish on the inside will add an extra bit of drama to your look. This will tint the light, however, so try a warm shade to get an inviting glow.
You can match your pendants across multiple spaces or contrast them. It’s generally safest, however, to choose just two types of pendants (such as a simple pendant and a chandelier style, as in the previous photo) lest you develop a mismatched “lighting showroom” style.
When do you use your lighting the most? 5000K LED daylight bulbs might be a good idea in an office that you use primarily during the daytime, but if you have enough daylight coming in from your windows, consider warmer-temperature bulbs instead that will be more comfortable at night.
