Are you looking to design an outdoor dining space this year? It’s all the range. If you haven’t got a garden, then don’t worry it is still possible. Have a roof terrace or a veranda?

Here are some things for you to try:

1. You can grow your own herbs on a wall mounted herb garden, this saves space for your dining table and chairs but also creates a lovely display.

2. Perhaps place an outdoor mirror on the wall facing outwards to create an illusion of space and a focal point for your seating area.

3. A chandelier above the table becomes a lovely centre piece and brings the indoors out.

Or you could even make your own chandelier for a more contemporary finish. Like this one made from jars.

4. Choose your furniture wisely. How big is your space? How many chairs can you fit on your terrace? Do you want it to be a romantic experience or an area where you can entertain your friends and family. For a contemporary finish paint a show stopping wall that will create a feel of an indoor space.

This dining set is from our Sicilia Range and has a great storage area in the centre of the table, perfect for cooling your bottle of champagne!

5. Candles and lighting create a great atmosphere for a romantic evening. Perhaps add a little table feature for Valentines Day. If you’re not a fan of red, go for a classic white decor or for purple flowers.

Happy Dining!
