1. Choose the Right Size
When adding a patio table to your outdoor space this summer, selecting the appropriate size is critical for comfort and movement. Don’t choose one that doesn’t fit properly! Investing in quality patio table should allow for comfortable sitting and movement without feeling cramped!
Prior to making a final decision on an outdoor table, make sure to measure its space carefully and consider any items which might obstruct it, such as planters or french doors opening onto the patio. Also take into consideration how people move through it – you don’t want guests squinting past your new dining table in order to reach other pieces of furniture or reach the kitchen for food prep!
Shape of outdoor tables is also an important consideration. A round patio table works great for intimate conversation in small spaces. In larger areas, a rectangular table may work better as they offer ample seating capacity and extendability if necessary; but keep in mind that rectangular corners may feel spaced out too far apart in certain instances; if this is the case for you then an oval or circular table may offer better visual balance compared to its rectangle counterparts.
Small spaces typically call for bistro tables with two chairs or coffee tables nearby outdoor sofas and lounge sets, or bistro-style coffee tables that sit closer to the ground while still providing enough height for conversation and holding drinks.
4. Add Some Comfort
Comfort should always be top of mind when purchasing outdoor dining furniture. When searching for tables that can expand and contract to meet different seating needs for anything from two people for date night to an intimate dinner party of many, look for a table that can expand and contract as needed to meet them all. Many tables feature leaves that can be added or removed as necessary, to make hosting guests easier and cozier. Cushioned chairs may add even further cushioning. Rugs can help add coziness as part of an unforgettable dining experience.
