Dining al fresco - to eat outside, in the open air.
Obviously we love to dine outside, and it is our goal to create pretty spaces for clients to be able to enjoy the same. From the perfect dining table, the right seating, grill options and table accessories - we’ve got you covered! Here are our top items needed for outdoor dining:
The Grill
If you are going to enjoy your meal outside, why not cook outside too? Outdoor kitchens have become the new norm, where you can prepare your food and be in the company of others. There’s nothing quite like the taste of your food fresh off of the grill!
The Table & Seating
Finding the right table for your space is crucial. When I start working with clients, I first like to find out how they entertain. How many people to you typically have over at a time? Do you prefer to be seated around a formal table? Or do you host more causal affairs? Finding these answers helps us determine the right table for you. From teak to metal to concrete - the options are endless.
Again with seating, I like to ask clients what takes priority for them. Do you typically linger around the table? Is comfort more important? Seating is a place where you can have fun by adding in color, texture, and style. It doesn’t necessarily have to match - there’s no rule that the chairs have to match the table - have fun with it and add your own style! A bench is great for families that hosts a lot of kids or a lot of people in a smaller space. They takes up less square footage, but provide a place for more people to fit in a tighter space.
The Accessories
From plates to drink-ware to candles and lanterns - the accessories available for the outdoors are endless. Plates and serving ware have come a long way, and there are many options durable for the outdoors but looks fancy enough for inside. One of our favorite lines is made from malaboo - combination of melamine and bamboo, and the outcome is beautiful! We have tons of melamine plates to choose from in our showroom, as well as lanterns, candles, and candles that can float in the pool! Also look into getting some cafe lights because they add a layer of ambiance and a finishing touch to any outdoor space.
We hope that over these upcoming holidays that you enjoy the time spent gathering with friends and loved ones inside and out.
Cheers!
