Here's everything that you should consider in order to choose a patio dining table that doesn't look out of place and lets you sit all of your guests comfortably.
These tables come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The right one for you? It depends on two main factors:
How big is your patio?
Don't make the mistake of choosing a large table that just about fits but won't actually leave you enough room to pull out the chairs properly! We recommend allowing at least three feet around each side of the table;
How many people do you want to sit?
Don't forget that, if you think you could do with a few extra seats but not often enough to justify a huge table, you can always go for a smaller extendable model. That way you'll save yourself plenty of space when sharing it with the usual members of your household, but won't struggle to fit everyone else when you have a few more guests than usual!
Whether you already have some patio furniture or you're planning on buying some, it's good to aim for a cohesive look. You can either introduce the décor that you've already chosen for your living room or give your patio a different feel altogether. Either way, here are our recommendations to choose a patio dining table that matches the most popular décor styles:
As you know by now, some materials work better than others with specific décor styles, but there are other practical considerations that shouldn't be overlooked. As for the weather-resistance side of things, it's very important if the table will be exposed to elements, but---wind aside---you can overlook them if your patio is under a roof:
