Outdoor dining spaces have gained a lot of popularity of
late. These spaces help up the market value of your home and your neighborhood
while providing you with an alternative space to dine and hang out with family
and friends. Even though weather proof dining tables and chairs usually serve a
well enough function for these spaces, you can always go the alternative route
and create an outdoor dining space that is more suited to the floor area available
in your backyard or porch and to your budget as well.
1. Tuscan style
dining area
A Tuscan style outdoor dining area is more suited to
mansions and older homes with a distinct Mediterranean theme. These are heavier
sitting spaces that are fashioned in stone or concrete and usually flatter
thick, lush gardens adjacent to outdoor cooking areas.
2. A set of stools
For an outdoor dining space with limited square footage to
work with, it is usually advised that the furniture for this space be kept as lightweight
and space maximizing as possible. This is where a discreet and petite set of
stools and a table with a large top would come in really handy.
3. Minimalist bench
Benches evoke a distinct picnic-y feel and for homes that aren’t
looking to create a formal and serious-looking outdoor dining space, these can
be ideal.
4. Wrought iron bar
set
A set of bar stools and a bar tables in wrought iron also
serve as a pretty good outdoor dining space that can be set up near outdoor BBQ
units.
5. Convert outdoor
seating areas
If you already have built-in outdoor seating, you can easily
convert it into an outdoor dining room. For low slung seating, a higher table
would impart the feel of a diner cabin.
