ᐅ Does a patio roof significantly reduce the amount of natural light in the living room?

Hello everyone!

We are currently planning our patio roof—or rather, deciding where to place the patio and how to cover it...

Attached is the floor plan of our ground floor.

Our initial idea was to position the patio, including the patio roof (5m wide, 4m deep, frosted laminated safety glass), in the center of the house. It would then be directly adjacent to the inner sides of the two outer glass doors.

However, I started wondering if this would reduce too much natural light in the open living area...

Then I had the idea to place the patio with its roof flush against the right corner of the house and extend it toward the middle of the house (choosing a roof width of 4.75m). This way, only the living room would be somewhat shaded, which might actually be more comfortable for watching TV during the day...

Or do you think the frosted glass lets through almost full brightness anyway, so we don’t need to worry about it?

Frosted glass lets in natural light. However, the light becomes diffused and does not penetrate as far into the room.

Aside from that, is the frosted glass intended to replace the need for roof shading?

One should perhaps consider when the covered terrace will be used—for dining, grilling, etc. Also, that access to it from the kitchen area should always be convenient.

Will the living room furniture be arranged as shown? Is south exactly at the top of the plan?

Here is the drawing again with the north arrow.
Sorry, I should have paid more attention to that earlier.

The terrace is of course intended for grilling, sitting, relaxing in the evenings, and so on.

And yes, the furniture will be arranged approximately as shown in the drawing.

The frosted glass is not meant primarily for shading, but also to help hide dirt on the roof, unlike clear glass.

No window seems possible on the left side of the dining area? I would then place the patio roof on the left side.

The dirt on clear glass is not that dramatic. You can also see it on frosted glass.
I would recommend making the canopy as long and deep as possible.
With regular glass, we hardly notice any difference in terms of light.
