Outdoor dining is one of the many perks the warm summer months and cool fall temperatures afford. We all know the simple joy of gathering with friends around the table and sharing a meal as the crickets chirp or the leaves begin to change. There’s something about outdoor dining that brings a calming presence, much laughter, and memories etched into our minds.
As you plan your next backyard gathering around the table with friends, here are five outdoor dining table ideas to enhance your experience.
Bring an extra level of cohesion and coziness to your outdoor dining table area with a weather resistant rug. Not only do rugs bring together a gathering space, but they’re a fantastic way to add a pop of color to the exterior of your home.
Consider introducing overhead lighting as part of your outdoor dining table decor to better illuminate the space and create a warm ambience. String lights are particularly fashionable and easy to install above a patio or deck. Solar powered lanterns, landscape lights, and posts are some alternative options to further brighten your outdoor dining area.
Our interior spaces are filled with centerpieces ranging from candlesticks to fresh cut flowers to decorative trays, so why not do the same by implementing some outdoor dining table centerpieces? A serving tray is a great addition for your table — when not in use during your gathering, it functions as a display for flowers or a sun-friendly plant. Citronella candles are another outdoor dining table decoration we all love, because of their functionality during the summer months and aesthetic (check out Pottery Barn!).
Tablecloths are favored for how they add pops of colors to a kitchen, preserve wood, cover up blemishes, and catch crumbs. But, how about runners? When the practicality of a tablecloth is not necessary for your outdoor dining table, but you want to add a touch of elegance to your next gathering, throw on a table runner! They’re an easy and affordable way to bring the dining room experience outdoors.
Expand the hours spent around your outdoor dining table by investing in an umbrella, so you can enjoy breakfast by the pool and lunch outdoors on a summer day while shielded from the sun. Cantilever umbrellas were created with movability in mind, so time outdoors can be an all-day event instead of just after sunset.
