Mood-Centric Restaurant & Bar Lighting Design

At Studio Illumine, we’re all about more than just lighting—we’re here to help your restaurant or bar tell its story, set the mood and make every visit feel a little more memorable through expert restaurant and bar lighting design. We team up with interior designers to blend stylish fixtures, smart controls and architectural highlights, creating lighting that’s as unique as your menu.

How We Bring Your Vision to Light

Getting Your Vibe

We kick things off by diving into your brand—how you want guests to feel, how they move through the space, even the flow of your menu. Then we put together mood boards highlighting different light levels, colour temperatures and focus areas so every beam in your restaurant or bar lighting design feels just right.

Teamwork with Designers

Collaboration is key. In hands-on workshops with your interior designer, we pick out pendants, sconces and accent lights that match your finishes and furniture. With CAD layouts, we ensure every luminaire sits perfectly with your architectural lines and supports your overall restaurant lighting design vision.

Smart Zoning & Controls

We divide your venue into zones—dining room, bar, lounge—and set up a control system that adapts as your day does. Bright, crisp whites for brunch service? No problem. Warm, cozy tones for evening cocktails? One button, and your bar lighting design transforms the space instantly.

On-Site Fine-Tuning

Our crew handles installation down to the last detail: adjusting beam angles, dialing in intensities and programming smooth scene changes. Before we leave, we walk your team through the controls or mobile app; switching from “Lunch” to “Happy Hour” is as easy as tapping a screen.

Ongoing Care & Upgrades

As your restaurant evolves, so does your lighting. We offer maintenance plans, software updates and seasonal tweaks. Plus, we’ll conduct lighting audits to suggest the latest energy-savers or smart features, keeping your restaurant and bar lighting design cutting-edge.
