In their own words

Lighting design is one of the most impactful things you can do to turn coffee shop design from good to amazing. The lighting design in a coffee shop is very relevant to achieving different moods and atmospheres within the same space and at the same time. Providing a warm, ambient light helps envelop coffee drinkers in an aura of comfort and relaxation, making the stay more enjoyable and pleasant. Lighting design is sometimes not given the proper attention it deserves, but it can be very impactful. The reason for this is that it creates strong associations between light, its color and temperature, and certain moods. This is something that is ingrained in us, due to nature. For example, lighting is central in retail design, contributing to creating an atmosphere that you link to that particular brand. Interior light sources fall into 3 general categories: ambient, task, and accent. The goal of ambient lighting, often known as general lighting, is to illuminate a whole room. It offers a consistent degree of illumination across the space, regardless of the presence of additional lighting sources. Task lighting illuminates areas where certain activities take place and it usually has a smaller focal point. Accent lighting is primarily used to draw attention to a particular area of interest or to generate the desired effect. This lighting creates the illusion of a larger space. It’s more commonly employed to draw attention to an architectural element, a plant (in an outdoor setting), a sculpture, or a grouping of artifacts. Light color temperature is another factor that we have strong associations with. It usually varies from warm, also known as candlelight, to cold, also known as sky blue. Different light temperatures are suited for different environments and tasks. Colder temperatures make us alert and can help us focus, while hotter temperatures make us calm and relax. Start by maximizing natural light during daytime as much as possible, as it works quite well in a coffee shop beyond the added benefits. Next, start thinking about the placement of the various types of lighting. A good starting point is to place task lighting above the main counter. Look for places where you can place accent lighting, such as any architectural features of the space, or on the tables, or maybe there is an area that can work as a feature if it has the proper light. A lighting plan is very important, and hiring a professional to help you with this would be an excellent investment. Implementing and balancing all the various lighting solutions for a coherent design is difficult and important to get right at the same time. Also, think of the light temperature. For example, incandescent bulbs and mini-halogen track lighting can create a warm and cozy environment. You can play around with this, offering areas that are bright for some clients, while also creating dimly lit areas for relaxation. A good pro-tip for lighting is to integrate a dim system. This will let you control light intensity and adjust it precisely depending on the time of day, or if necessary, during special events. This way, you can set up scenes within the coffee shop or to mimic sunrise or sunset. Colors are an integral part of any design. The colors used in the interior design have a substantial impact on your customers, from the way they feel to the amount of time they spend in your coffee shop. Colors can make your customer happy, boost their appetite, and can contribute to turnover, all the while making your coffee shop unique and even seem more spacious. Color choices have an impact on all of this, so creating a pleasant color scheme is very important. Furthermore, the color scheme also needs to tie into your brand identity and message, to create a coherent identity across the board. An important consideration when choosing a color scheme is how it will last in time. Some color schemes can become outdated quickly, while others last longer. Brands invest in regular rebranding for exactly this reason, the ability to keep up with the times and attract new customers. So, it’s important to choose a color scheme that will last a bit and force an early redesign.
