Garden Pictures Chat Corner

The space required for a lounge is enormous. 5x5 is not little. As you can see from your pasted floor plans, it is not too much space.

Correct. I also underestimated it a bit. 25sqm doesn’t sound like much at first, but with the bulky furniture (especially the armchairs!) I’m just at the limit.
By the way, I’m going for the Artelia RN-1 XL lounge set. Along with that comes a turquoise outdoor rug.
I already know that the low table will really annoy me :rolleyes:

It is not a dining area. For my feeling, it is an outdoor sofa landscape. A cozy addition to the dining area.

Still, you want to put down glasses or cups there and not hold them constantly in your hand.

The question is whether 350 lumens are enough...

With 350 lumens with a wide beam characteristic and a few meters distance, you get a light that is not too bright and well perceptible. What always matters are the LUX at the object. Like , I would consider the light distribution. A spotlight in a large canopy of leaves can look good or ridiculous. If the design of the luminaire is not so important, you will have interesting alternatives in the area of outdoor stage lighting. Here, strong attention is paid to price and light source supply. Take a look at the website of the big music store in Cologne.

or you outsource your own movement and have wine and grapes handed to you...

But that only works if the incidence rate allows "close-contact services" ... ;)

Why even illuminate a tree. Light pollution is increasing more and more. I would turn something like that on at most when I am sitting in the garden in the dark, otherwise rather not. Nocturnal animals like hedgehogs are extremely disturbed by it.
