"There is no beating the selection of light bulbs Home Depot offers and keeps on hand," Garcia said. "Not only are you bound to find the type of bulb you're looking for, but their pricing is always sharp and lower than the hardware store."
Diana Weinstein, the founder of Diana Weinstein Design, told Business Insider that she suggests customers buy multi-packs — LED bulbs, in particular.
"I always make sure I have a variety of kelvins, but between 2700-3000 kelvins, which is the color of the light. Anything under 3000 is warmer," she said. "It drives me nuts when clients buy the wrong LEDS and the light is so blue it feels like a hospital or school."
