Now that summer has come, we're starting to eat outdoors to make the best of the sunny days and the summer breeze ahead. Outdoor dining is one of the delights we appreciate most during summertime, especially after the past few endless months of lockdown and cloudy weather. Therefore, we are looking forward to sharing these useful outdoor dining design tips with you, so as to dine al fresco with whom you please.
Attention to detail
Start to look after the outdoor design of your home in detail, in order to create a common thread with the interior design in terms of style, materials, colors and patterns. Outdoor design is essential if you want to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Use summery materials such as wicker and wood if the space to furnish is in the shade, hence safe from sunlight that can potentially damage the material quality.
Decorate the dining table with linens
The table really hogs the limelight when it comes to outdoor design. Decorate it with organic fabrics such as cotton, in order to channel a sense of authenticity and eco-sustainability in tune with your garden or orchard. A comfortable, fresh and inviting atmosphere is a must, if you want to invite guests over for lunch, dinner or even for a simple aperitif.
The Centerpiece, aka the main character
To add a sprinkle of personality and extravagance to your table, we suggest placing a custom centerpiece to wrap everything up. A vase of freshly picked flowers can positively impact the appearance of all the outdoor space available and compliment the surrounding greenery.
Don't forget crockery
Last but not least, don't forget to lay the table with your best set of crockery and keep an eye out for the proportions between table and dishes. Some hand-decorated plates, colorful glasses and ceramic glimmering under the sunlight seem to give off the smell of a hearty, home-made meal already. No guest will be able to turn down such an opportunity when faced with perfect outdoor design. What's more appealing than a well-laid table?
