Abstract

The Restaurants are purposefully designed not only to dine in but also for recreation and satisfaction. The study is an assessment of lighting in restaurant qualitatively, based on observations and interviews. The lighting, in a restaurant named ‘Premier Family Dining', is observed and interviews were conducted with the restaurateur, restaurant manager, and several regular diners. In this paper, the lighting design of restaurants with reference to its aesthetics and function has been studied. The research shows that the lighting of the restaurant is used excessively for aesthetical purposes such as light coming from the ceiling, walls, pillars and floors, but with no control of voltage or intensity of light. Excessive use of light increases the expenses on electricity and creates blurriness. The lighting design needs a few alterations to bring the restaurant up to date and more functional than it is. These alterations did not require much of finance but they would bring a blooming change in the interiors of the restaurant.

Summary

Introduction

The restaurant is a commercial place, it requires a pleasant, public, spacious, relaxed, and visually clear environment. Restaurants are the spaces that can impact on perceptions of their patrons and can arouse their emotional stability. Such places can be accomplished with facilities, and functionality but a factor of wow can be created with aesthetical ambience, spatial layout, windows, etc. When an interior designer organizes a place according to the elements of design, the importance should be given to door, windows, walls, and ceilings, but to the finishing to hold on the customers for a long duration. The color and light have a wide variety and for choosing them requires the understanding of the preferences, culture and trends of people who would enjoy by coming to a place [1],[9]. That is all a commercial set up which is growing fast and the owners of them are investing a lot in this field but the proper and accurate guidance is required and this paper will be an addition in the right direction
