5 Simple Ways to Style Your Outdoor Garden Table This Summer

There's something magical about dining outdoors and styling your outdoor garden table is part of the fun. Whether you're hosting a weekend BBQ or enjoying a quiet lunch under a parasol, these five ideas will help you create a beautiful and practical setup.

1. Start with the Right Outdoor Garden Tablecloth

Choose a waterproof tablecloth with a parasol hole for both function and flair. Our designs come in a range of styles to suit every garden mood. A well-fitting tablecloth instantly elevates your outdoor space.

2. Add Natural Elements

Fresh flowers, eucalyptus sprigs, or small potted herbs bring life to your table. They don’t need to be fancy—just a few snips from your garden can create a lovely, relaxed look.

3. Layer with Outdoor-Friendly Tableware

Melamine plates, colourful tumblers and enamel jugs are perfect for outdoor dining. Layer them on your tablecloth to add colour and texture.

4. Create Shade & Ambience

Pop up a parasol (we’ve got you covered with the hole!) and hang fairy lights, lanterns or bunting. It instantly adds a cosy, celebratory feel—especially as the sun starts to set.

5. Keep It Practical (but Pretty!)

Use wipeable placemats, serve drinks in jugs, and keep napkins handy. With a little planning, your table can be both beautiful and totally fuss-free.
