What Is The Best Material For Outdoor Dining Sets
Outdoor Dining Furniture is a worthy investment, providing it can withstand the harsh elements allyearround!
An outdoor wooden table and chairs can give your patio a wonderfully relaxed feel. Teak is a strong and lasting option for an outdoor wooden dining table, due to its high oil content which protects it from waterdamage and dry rot.
Synthetic resin wicker is hardwearing and tough enough to withstand our severe Australian climate. Often boasting a modern style, an outdoor wicker dining set will add a sophisticated look to your patio.
Aluminium is another great option for an alfresco table and chair set as it is lightweight and durable, making it easy to move around as well as making it an attractive addition to your entertaining space.
What Is The Best Outdoor Dining Furniture
Whether you’re hosting a Sunday brunch, BBQ, or dinner party, there are plenty of perfect outdoor furniture options to suit your summer plans!
Before buying furniture, you should decide on its placement first. For a small patio, opt for a 5piece outdoor dining setting whereas for a large backyard, choose a 7 or 11piece dining set. Dining with water views? The Tonic 5Piece Outdoor Rectangular Bar Setting makes a striking poolside entertainer especially under an umbrella!

Theres something truly special about eating outside in the summertime. Maybe its the satisfaction of finally being able to eat dinner while theres still some natural light out. Or maybe those warm rays of sunshine have a way of making the food taste extra delicious. But indoors or outdoors, dining together should really be seen as a special event. Its that point in the day where you, the members of your household, or visiting friends and family can gather and dish out a great meal and even better conversation. The focal points of these gatherings are often modern outdoor dining tables. Theyre truly the place to be when the food is served and the gossip is heating up.
Everybodys different when it comes to choosing their own modern outdoor dining table. Maybe youre the introverted type, and prefer to have just two, or maybe four friends join you for drinks on the patio. Or perhaps youve got the entire family coming over for a barbecue, so a table that can hold eight or more people is just what you need. At Article, our collection of outdoor dining tables has something for groups of any size, whether youre needing small, medium, or extra large. Or why not have the best of both worlds? Some tables come with a butterfly leaf extension that effortlessly folds out to make more room for extra guests.
Match The Shape And Finish With The Outdoor Area
When choosing a outdoor dining set, consider how it complements the rest of the outdoor area. How can you match the color of the furniture with the color of your blinds? And how can the table set design accentuate your patio or balcony?
A recommendation is to match the color with other parts of the outdoor area. It could be the shutters, awnings or other furniture. This can help you create a coordinated look. Use some outdoor cushions and a few warm blankets to add complementing or contrasting colors. This way, you can complete your look while making the space more comfortable.
Add a patio umbrella and cushions to your outdoor dining set
Will you use the dining set during hottest hours of the day? Several of our tables come with a umbrella hole. If you choose a table with no hole, you can find patio umbrellas that can be placed right next to the dining set. See all our umbrellas here.
Are you looking forward to late night dinners with family and friends? With some outdoor cushions you can sit comfortably for hours. Some of our sets already include cushions. But if you’re creative and want to mix and match on your own, you can see all our outdoor cushions and pillows here.

Calculate The Amount Of Seating
At IKEA, you’ll find dining sets from small two seaters to larger sets that can seat up to eight people. When looking for the right dining set, ask yourself: how much space do I have, and how much seating do I need? Aside from providing seating to your immediate family, will you host dinners and parties? If so, will it be often enough that you need to be able to easily add seats?
Several of our patio furniture sets include drop-leaf tables, where a two-seater can easily serve a dinner for four. A patio set for six can quickly be arranged to a table for eight. Have a few foldable or stackable chairs somewhere accessible to bring out as soon as you need them.
Finally, lets not about forget the kids. See our children’s picnic table RESÖ or full kids outdoor furniture collection. This is a great complement where the children can have their own dinner party next to the grown-up’s table.
Choosing The Right Outdoor Dining Sets
Whether you’re replacing existing outdoor furniture or creating an entirely new space, there are some considerations you should keep in mind to choose the right options for your patio. One of the most important considerations for your furniture is the actual size of your patio or outdoor area. Long, narrow areas require rectangular tables and smaller chairs to ensure there is enough space to walk around them. If you have a small patio, a set with a round outdoor dining table may take up too much space. Instead, look for bistro and cafe sets, or go with a bar table set with stools that take up less room.
You’ll also want to consider where you plan to place your patio dining sets. Areas that require the furniture to sit on softer ground or grass will require different materials than those placed on stone, concrete or brick. Make sure to plan for how much exposure the area receives. If your furniture receives full sun, adding patio umbrellas to your patio dining sets help keep the area is comfortable throughout the day.
