Rather than ceiling-mounted fixtures, LED strips hidden in a ceiling cove wash the walls with indirect light. This makes the small space feel larger while providing adequate illumination without any fixtures in the direct field of view.

Designer Notes
The walls glow, the ceiling is dark. Creates an upscale, spa-like quality even in a tiny booth. Person inside framed by soft light. Show the expansion effect - perception of more space.
