Introduction
Furnishing the outdoor space has become an essential part of every home, especially during the holiday season. With the sun out, the outdoor space is an amazing venue to have a meal and socialise with friends and family. Beautifully manicured lawns have been accentuated by pieces of black outdoor furniture, creating a serene ambience for hosting a party.
Garden tables are at the centre of any outdoor space, and picking the right one makes all the difference. Buying one from VidaXL will not only enhance the beauty of your outdoor space but also provide you with a functional and enjoyable environment. Here are a few garden table ideas to elevate your outdoor space:
Style
When purchasing a garden table, it is important to consider whether it complements or contrasts with the style inside your home. To achieve a seamless transition from your house to your outdoor space, pick a table that reflects your home and garden environment.
With style also comes the choice of material for the garden table that should be sturdy and weather-proof. Most garden tables are made of wood but you can pick other materials with similar desired characteristics.
Capacity
The size of the garden table depends on how many people you will be entertaining. For example, you can choose to design your garden table that allows guests to dine together in one sitting, or a bar set up, where you can serve cocktails.
As you choose a garden table, avoid filling more than two-thirds of the space with furniture to avoid a cluttered look. Less is really more here. Your guests will have more space to move around easily.
Durable and Light Material
The weight of your garden table is an important factor to consider. If you plan to move the outdoor furniture often, avoid heavy metals such as iron and steel. On the other hand, light furniture made from low-cost plastics is likely to be damaged by elements of weather.
Opt for a garden table that is sturdy enough to endure harsh weather, yet not so heavy that it is difficult to move around. Investing in a weatherproof garden may be expensive at first, but it will save you money by not replacing it for a long time.
Escape the Summer Sun with a Patio Parasol
In case you intend to use your garden table in the daylight for long durations, consider investing in a patio umbrella for shade. Many outdoor tables come with holes drilled at the top so that umbrellas can be attached.
A variety of outdoor dining chairs can be used to complement the garden table. Swivel chairs are the most common option for outdoor dining sets. They take up less space as they do not have to be moved back for guests to get out of them.
Fold-away Tray Tables
A folding outdoor table makes it easy to host a gathering in the garden or even a picnic at a park. These functional tables are quite sturdy, and can easily seat a number of your family and friends while remaining portable and convenient. In most designs, as the table folds out, it has a shelf along the bottom where items can be stored.
Dimensions of fold-away tables range from small enough to sit two comfortably to large enough for 8 or 10. Consider installing a plant pot or hanging basket around the garden table to add some extra colour and style. When not in use, you can easily fold them up and tuck them away.
Final Words
In order to give your outdoor space functionality, comfort and purpose, choose a garden that will meet your style and requirements. Research widely to find out what works for you.
