The villa courtyard is increasingly becoming a multi-functional space, increasing people’s living experience. The yard can be a place for homeowners to play with their pets or can be a vegetable garden for growing vegetables and fruits. When laying out 100 square meters of courtyard lighting, homeowners need to consider multi-purpose areas such as gardens, water features, dining terraces, and paths. Each area element needs to be carefully considered and given appropriate lighting treatment to create an unforgettable lighting environment.
How big is the 100㎡ garden?
Taking care of a large courtyard of 100㎡ is hard because the homeowner needs a lot of courtyard space for the distribution of vegetation and scenery.
A 100㎡ courtyard is equivalent to a standard three-bedroom apartment, which can accommodate three or more people.
Many famous garden designers suggest that if people want to create a garden, each person should have a usable area of 35-40㎡, which can be allocated and used by family members. For a courtyard of 100㎡, the optimal number of users is 3-4 people.
Therefore, a 100㎡ courtyard is enough for a family of three to freely use the space and place their favorite things. Homeowners can consider designing lighting schemes for garden spaces such as flower beds, vegetable gardens, dining tables, warehouses, ponds, children’s playgrounds, and exterior wall corners.
What should I consider before setting up lighting?
Before lighting a 100㎡ courtyard, homeowners need to consider these points in advance to achieve the desired effect: the light can be used as safety lighting, but also as a landscape decoration.
1. What lighting is essential?
Such as lawn road lighting, which can guide homeowners at night.
2. What is the homeowner’s favorite thing about the yard?
Think of the homeowner’s own favorite views and favorite things to do in the yard and make a list.
3. Do homeowners spend a lot of time in and use the space?
After making the list, think about whether the homeowner needs to add lighting fixtures or not. For example, in the small orchard in the backyard, the homeowner takes care of the orchard every day, so lighting is a must. The swimming pool, which may only be used once or twice a year, needs to be considered.
