Dressing Room Lighting Design Tips

To reduce unflattering shadowing and help the customer feel confident in wearing the garment, it is important to illuminate the customer from the front, as well as from above.

The brightness of the front-on lighting must be stronger than from overhead to be able to ‘fill in’ the shadows caused from the overhead light.

If the lighting is only from above or if the above lighting is brighter than the front lighting, shadows will form underneath the customer’s horizontal features, ie, chin, nose, breasts, stomach.
