It's not just the food: modern restaurants, cafés and bars do their best to set themselves apart with modern, trendy and sometimes unusual interiors. A well thought-out light concept with direct and indirect lighting is a hugely important factor for complementing the food and the interior. The right brightness and a carefully coordinated colour temperature create a pleasant, inviting atmosphere and encourages guests to linger.
Our tip: Work with light colours
Adjust the light colour of your luminaires depending on the time of day to make the most of the overall effect:
Morning: A floor lamp with energising daylight white for breakfast (3,000 Kelvin)
Afternoon: Pendant or wall luminaire for a warm and comfortable warm white (2,700 Kelvin)
Evening: Ceiling luminaire and individual table luminaires with golden white light (2,200 Kelvin) for a romantic dinner, using e.g. gold light or filament lamps
Night: LED strips for effect lighting and decorative coloured highlights – red or blue – for an attractive bar or club atmosphere
Lighting concepts and modern materials: the right mix for a stylish ambiance
Young and urban, Scandinavian chic or modern retro: the right material mix will help set apart your establishment and makes it memorable. Use luminaires that add stylish accents with materials like wood, concrete and trendy copper. Rely on energy-efficient LED technology and dimming functions for stylish light accents.
