How to design the lighting for an indoor-outdoor café
Creating the perfect mood for every corner of your coffee shop is easy when you know the basics of lighting design. Like mixing general, accent, task, decorative and mood lighting to meet needs and get the right feel. This simple guide can help you plan indoor-outdoor illumination for an inviting café – morning to night, all season long.
General lighting
General lighting illuminates a larger area uniformly. Ceiling lamps, several spotlights, or large pendants provide a comfortable lighting level for guests – and your staff when cleaning up.
Accent lighting
Accent lighting illuminates and draws attention to specific areas or objects, like a wall menu, your logo, a piece of artwork, or products for sale. These business-approved NYMÅNE ceiling spotlights emit a bright, directed light that creates contrasts between light and shadow and adds life to your rooms in an instant.
Decorative lighting
Decorative lighting is all about bringing charm and personality to your space while lighting it up. LED candles, battery-operated LED lighting strips attached to shelves, chandeliers, stylish pendant lights, and string lights are easy additions that make your café special.
Task lighting
Task lighting is a bright, focused light designed to help people see better what they are doing. In a café, wall-mounted or floor lamps help customers read, work, and talk to each other. Make sure that your staff’s workspaces are well-lit with pendant lamps over counters and LED strips under cabinets and shelves.
Mood lighting
Mood lighting does more than brighten up the space – it sets the scene for a memorable experience. Help your guests read the menu with ease while enjoying a comfortable, intimate glow with carefree, sun-powered lamps of various sizes at different heights.
Play with light and make your place stand out
With mindful, creative lighting ideas, your space becomes more than just a place to eat or have coffee – it becomes a place where people love to be. Why not play with a few wall-mounted lamps to create a unique decorative feature?
