Austin Hospitality Lighting Shines Tastefully in The Texas Hill Country.


The Austin hospitality industry reflects both the idyllic surroundings of the Texas Hill Country and the eclectic, forward motion of one of America’s most creative and progressive urban environments.

Austin resort hotels, bed and breakfasts, and five star restaurants attract visitors from all over the United States, and they are popular weekend getaways for Texans throughout the state that may not live in Austin, but nevertheless love Austin almost like a second home.

Considering theses facts, it is readily apparent that lighting is an essential component of Austin hospitality services both as a functional necessity and a refined aspect of design

Developing a lighting system for any location requires first an understanding of its many elements, and, secondly, planning and developing a
interior lighting and exterior landscape lighting system that will establish and elevate the essence of place, time, and action.

Restaurant Lighting
Almost every Austin hotel has a restaurant that requires high end lighting design to create atmosphere special attention from a decorative and lighting perspective. Indirect and colored lighting play pivotal roles in creating a sense of romantic excursion to an evening where time feels suspended in a moment where light creates emotion as well as visibility.

ILD offers a number of very specialized and proprietary
restaurant lighting services that you may read bout by clicking here.

Meeting Room Lighting
Meetings represent a major service offering of the Austin hospitality industry. Many companies and executives utilize hotel meeting rooms and boardrooms to hold important meetings and seminars for keynote presentations.

Hospitality Meeting rooms and
executive office lighting requires exceptionally bright lights for motivation and presentation, but they also require lighting controls to lower lighting levels for any audio/visual segments of an event.

Lighting Interior Guests Rooms
The Hospitality Association of Texas represents a prominent authority in Hill Country inns, bed and breakfasts, and five star hotels. ILD’s team works to engineer lighting systems in full compliance with local codes. Meticulous attention to advanced electrical systems such as reading lights, task lighting for safe movement within the room, kitchenette lighting, and adequate, cost effective bathroom lighting all figure prominently into our designs.

Additionally, Illuminations Lighting and Design’s extensive experience working in the residential
indoor lighting design services industry enables us to introduce a variety of lighting elements that contribute to the experience of convenience and comfort and reflect the decorative elements of the interior to create a sense of balance and comfort.

This creates a feeling for guests of being home away from home when they first arrive in their rooms. The feeling sense of total privacy and safe, isolated comfort adds to a sense of sanctuary to the essence of luxury.

Hotel Lobby Lighting
The human element of hospitality begins here, in the lobby. The lighting must focus on detail as much as it does grand design.

The lobby area is definitely an area where hospitality lighting designers have to be almost mathematical in establishing points of expression, areas of task,
architectural lighting and moods of decorum that both differentiate and unite into an aesthetic of welcome. It must be brightly lit with minimal reflective glare, so it is necessary to often use very sophisticated and proprietary lighting fixtures to illuminate certain key elements as ornate antique furniture, Fine art & display lighting, bookshelves, and especially rare works of art and statuary.

Illuminations Lighting and Design specialists also pay very close attention to the practical demands of booking guests and customer service. Hospitality lighting in these areas will create an upbeat atmosphere of activity accomplished through soft, recessed lighting and stronger, indirect lighting from above that “washes” surfaces in light without blinding the eyes.
