Hospitality Lighting Design

Lighting Design That Creates Atmosphere and Elevates the Guest Experience

Lighting plays a crucial role in shaping the character and comfort of any hospitality environment. At Lumenata, we specialise in designing lighting schemes that create memorable experiences, reinforce brand identity, and balance practicality with visual impact. From intimate restaurants to lively pubs, our designs ensure every guest feels welcome and every space performs at its best.

We combine creative design with technical expertise to deliver lighting that is both beautiful and functional, using the right combination of ambient, accent, and feature lighting to define mood, guide flow, and highlight architectural details.

Thoughtful Lighting for Restaurants, Bars, and Pubs

Effective hospitality lighting should:

Create a warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects the venue’s personality

Enhance food presentation and interior design features

Provide flexibility for different times of day and functions

Improve comfort, visibility, and energy efficiency through intelligent control

Examples of Our Hospitality Lighting Design Experience

Lumenata has delivered successful lighting design and supply for a range of retail projects across the UK, including:

The Horseshoe Inn, Shropshire

At The Horseshoe, a gastro pub in Shropshire, Lumenata created a lighting scheme that complements the refined interior and the premium dining experience the venue offers. The design focused on warmth, balance and subtlety, using carefully positioned layers of light to highlight textures, finishes and architectural details without overpowering the space. By combining soft ambient illumination with well-controlled accent lighting, the scheme enhances the elegance of the décor and supports an inviting, high-end atmosphere that aligns with the quality of the food and overall guest experience.

Real Big Food Hall, Lancashire

At the Real Big Food Hall in Burnley, Lumenata developed a lighting scheme that could effortlessly transition from a bright, engaging daytime environment into a vibrant, club-style setting for evening events. The venue required lighting that supported food hall operations during the day while also offering dynamic flexibility for night-time entertainment. By integrating adjustable colour temperatures, controllable zones and feature lighting elements, the design allows the space to shift mood and energy on demand, creating a truly multifunctional venue without compromising atmosphere or functionality at any time of day.

Popcorn, Chester

At Popcorn Bar in Chester, Lumenata transformed the evening atmosphere after the owner had long struggled to achieve the right ambience. By introducing dim-to-warm LED lamps and integrated LED strips, the lighting now shifts to a richer, cosier tone as it is dimmed, creating an inviting and comfortable night-time environment. This simple but effective upgrade delivered the warm, intimate feel the venue needed while maintaining energy efficiency and full control for the bar’s busy city centre setting.
