Create a separate, contained tea service area with its own soft task lighting. Guests move to this area for service, then return to dark loungers. The station has enough light for safe pouring and selection, but doesn't broadcast into the room.

Budget
Approach Detail
Position service station in alcove or corner. Install under-cabinet lighting for counter surface (150-200 lux). Overhead pendant at 2700K for gentle fill. Sheer curtain or screen separates visually from loungers. Use directional fixtures aimed at work surface only.
Key Fixtures
Under-cabinet LED, shielded pendant, visual screening (curtain/partition), local dimmer.
Designer Notes
Show station as warm beacon in corner - inviting but contained. Guest pouring tea in soft light. Main lounge visible in background, notably darker. Transition visible as guest moves between zones.
