Once Bottled, What Temp To Store At?

[beerguide]

As the title suggests I was hoping for some feedback regarding this topic. At present once I bottle I tend to store them back in the fridge at the same temp I fermented at until ready to drink (might be 3 weeks, might be 8 weeks depending on stocks and the beer/s available) at which point I put in my main fridge and cool to 4ish degrees depending on the style of beer.

Now that I'm brewing more frequently my fridge space is at a premium and I'm trying to figure out what to do to use my temp. controlled fridge effectively.

Once I've completed primary fermentation, typically a week or so I rack to secondary and leave for the appropriate time in the fridge. Then I bottle. Do I really need to be priming these bottles at the same temp? Can I just store them at room temp instead?
Should I fridge them at fermentation temp for a few weeks until they've carbonated then store at room temp.

Many options and ideas floating in my head - but I just don't know which is best.

What does everyone else do? Obviously I don't want to lessen the quality of the beer, so keep that in mind when answering

I tried searching for a definitive answer, but found many conflicting ideas and many untested theories

Room temp is fine

Keeping them at fermenation temp is ideal, but room temp is fine, esp if it is fairly consistent (not rushing up and down).

Although I wouldn't store them near a heater or in a room that gets too warm.

Moonee: How long should they be kept at the ideal temp? A few weeks, or until chilled to drink?

The longer the better, but from my experience two weeks is a good amount of time.

2 important things

1/ Keep in dark - Light is the enemy

2/ Keep in constant temp target range 10-20deg

I have a lge 6foot fish tank with cabnet under which is perfect. about 18deg all year round and no light!
