Outdoor Dining Sets

The first step in choosing an outdoor dining set is to assess your available space. Consider the layout of your patio or garden and think about how you envision the flow of movement. For smaller areas, such as a compact balcony or a cozy corner of the garden, a patio dining set for 2 may be ideal. For larger spaces, you might opt for a 7-15 piece outdoor table set that can accommodate more guests.

Measure Your Area

Start by measuring the dimensions of the area where you plan to place the dining set. This will give you a clear idea of the size and shape that will fit best. Remember to leave enough space around the furniture for people to move comfortably. Our expert staff can help with this!

The shape of your table can significantly impact the aesthetic and functionality of the space. Round or square dining tables and chairs can create a more intimate setting. Meanwhile, rectangular tables might be better suited for larger families or entertaining groups. Check out our extension tables for optimal seating, just when you need it!

Once you’ve measured and considered your space, it’s time to think about style and comfort. The goal is to create an inviting atmosphere where people will want to linger.

Aesthetic Appeal

The style of your outdoor dining set should complement the overall design of your outdoor space. Consider the colour, texture, and design of the furniture. A modern dining outdoor patio set might feature clean lines and neutral colours, while a more traditional set might include ornate details and rich hues.

Comfort is equally important as style. Look for chairs with supportive backs and consider adding cushions for extra comfort. Dining chairs can be used with or without cushions, while sling dining chairs do not require a cushion at all, which can enhance the overall dining experience. Ensure the cushions are made from weather-resistant fabric for easy maintenance, such as acrylic or olefin. 

Investing in Quality 

Investing in a high-quality outdoor dining set can save you money in the long run. Durable materials and construction will withstand the elements and reduce the need for replacements. Look for warranties or guarantees that reflect the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. 

Maintenance and Care 

Proper maintenance is essential to prolong the life of your outdoor dining set. Each material requires different care routines, so familiarize yourself with the upkeep needed for your chosen set. Regular cleaning can prevent dirt build-up and protect against weather damage. Here are cleaning products we recommend.

Protective Measures 

Consider using furniture covers during harsh weather conditions or when the furniture is not in use. This can significantly extend the life of your outdoor dining set and keep it looking new. 

Choosing the perfect outdoor dining set involves careful consideration of space, materials, style, and comfort. By understanding these elements, you can select a set that not only enhances your outdoor area but also meets your practical needs. Whether you’re selecting a dining patio furniture set for a client or your own home, the right choice will provide comfort, style, and durability for years to come. Invest wisely, care for your furniture, and enjoy countless meals and gatherings in your beautifully furnished outdoor space.
