A Look at Lighting

Lighting helps establish the mood or feeling of space and is typically the first thing shoppers will notice when they enter.

In retail, proper lighting is especially important as it helps drive revenue by increasing the overall shopper experience - making your store more inviting, displaying items in their true color, highlighting specific products, and painting your space in the best possible light!

Here’s 3 tips when thinking about light in your space: 

  1. Branding Cohesiveness - Your lighting should compliment the style and story of your store’s concept and products.

  2. Lighting Temperature - While warm lighting can create a cozy, inviting ambiance, if not done correctly, it can mislead shoppers on product colors and functionality. Bright white lighting provides an elegant, clean look to a retail space which naturally drives customer interest and invites them in.

  3. Spotlights, Backlights, and other Accent Lighting - These might have the most significant impact when it comes to showcasing your space. Under-lighting and spotlights help direct the eye to items that could’ve been otherwise missed while lamps and accent lighting help create a homey environment without sacrificing proper bright lighting.
