Modern Restaurant Lighting Designs

The success of a restaurant business is not mainly dependent on the food being served. The interior design (and the facade too) also helps in building up the image of an eating establishment. The interior design features include the color scheme, furnishing, accessories, decorative pieces and lighting fixtures. There are several restaurant lighting ideas to choose from. The important thing to keep in mind is to choose a specific design that would match the image of the restaurant. Aside from the indoor lighting, outdoor lighting design should also be considered.

Outdoor Restaurant Lighting Idea

Nick Noyes Architecture

For an enchanting outdoor restaurant design, use of unique and special lighting is a must. For this restaurant, two lighting ideas were used. The lights hanging from the tree provides adequate lighting, while the lanterns of different sizes (and were scattered on the floor) adds drama that matched the magnificence of the ocean view.

Commercial Restaurant Lighting Idea

This restaurant is designed in neutral color scheme. The multi-colored tall rectangular casing of the pendant lights provides flashes of colorful lights. The wall-mounted lights match the pendant lights.

Restaurant Ceiling Lights Design

Zugai Strudwick Architects

To match the ultra modern design of this restaurant, the bar is lighted with white pendant lights hanging from a bulkhead. The rest of the place is lighted with fixed ceiling lights.

Restaurant Interior Lighting

It is always a good idea to incorporate two or more lighting ideas into one space. This restaurant, for instance, has four lighting features. The lampshade pendant lights provide lighting in one portion of the place, and the opposite space is lighted with smaller pendants set in lower levels. The ceiling is also installed with lights and the windows are decorated with mini lampshades.

Restaurant Patio Lighting Design

Cornerstone Architects

If use of dining room pendant light is common for interior lighting, something unique should be used for a restaurant patio. The outdoor lamps used here are big enough to adequately provide lighting without being too flashy.

Industrial Restaurant Lighting

Northworks Architects and Planners

The lighting ideas used for this restaurant industrial, rustic and traditional. It is a fusion of different design ideas that somehow managed to result in a totally different yet beautiful and well-lighted interior. Main chandeliers with wood branches hang in the middle of the ceiling, whilewall-mounted lamp lights light up the sides. Industrial lights provide lighting to the kitchen/bar area.

Hanging Lights For Restaurants

Lights bulbs of different shapes and sizes hang over the long table of this restaurant. The lights hang from ropes that wound around a long horizontal post. This lighting idea is very unique and is in direct contrast with the modern huge pendants hanging over the tables that are set on the other side of the room. You may also See Floor Lighting Designs
