Outdoor Dining Sets For The Perfect Family Get-Together



With summer finally here, and hopefully plenty of warm days and evenings not far behind, it’s time to start thinking about enjoying our outside space more. This means relaxing in the garden and, of course, al-fresco dining. Whether you are planning a small family get-together or a big party with all of your friends and family, you need to make sure that you have the right outdoor dining sets to help ensure that you have the right type of seating.


Family Dining

For a great family get-together you want to make sure that you have a good-sized table. Opt for something that offers a good amount of space as there is nothing worse than too many people trying to sit around a small table where all of the plates are balanced precariously, and everyone ends up elbowing each other.


Good quality chairs are a must as well and should be the perfect height for the table. Chairs with arms make it more comfortable for people to relax, meaning you can have a nice leisurely meal and enjoy the weather and the company. For additional comfort, consider adding cushions.


There are plenty of different types of dining sets available made from a range of different materials, and each has its own benefits. However, for timeless quality furniture, you really can’t beat a solid wood outdoor dining set. Not only will this look stunning but with the right care and attention it will continue to look stunning for many years to come and make a great investment.


If you are hosting a lot of people, you may need to consider larger outdoor dining sets to give you more seating options.


Casual Dining

If your guests are adults, then a bar stool dining set may be a unique alternative that you may want to consider. Similar to a more traditional chair and table set, this is a taller option with a slightly smaller table space. If you have a bar in your garden, this is also a very versatile set as you can use the chairs either at the bar, at the table, or a mixture of both to suit the needs of your guests.


Keep it looking beautiful

If you opt for wooden dining sets, it is a good idea to cover your outdoor furniture when it isn’t in use. A good cover should fasten under the furniture to keep it in place and be waterproof to protect the wood from the elements.


When you are using your dining set, you may want to use mats to help protect the tabletop. Hot dishes should always be placed on heat-resistant mats. Plus, while candles may look stunning on a warm summer’s evening, be careful to protect your tabletop, or opt for clever battery-operated candles, which will give you the effect of candles without the risk of naked flames.
