Easy Ways to Style Your Outdoor Table This Summer

Creating a beautiful outdoor table doesn’t have to be complicated—or expensive. Whether you’re hosting a garden lunch or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, a few thoughtful touches can turn any table into a special moment.

1. Start with the Tablecloth

A patterned tablecloth instantly elevates your setting. Choose something that ties in with your garden—like our Lavender Fields or Eucalyptus Meadow designs—for a cohesive, nature-inspired look.

2. Add Layers

Layer your table with natural textures:

• Rattan placemats or wooden boards

• Linen napkins

• Small jam jars as vases or tealight holders

These add depth and charm without feeling fussy.

3. Use What’s in Your Garden

Fresh herbs, flowers, or even a bowl of lemons or tomatoes make wonderful centerpieces. They’re seasonal, zero-waste, and effortlessly chic.

4. Keep It Practical

If you’re eating outdoors, think ahead:

• Use covered jugs or carafes to keep drinks bug-free

• Anchor corners with pretty clips or use a parasol through the hole (if you’ve chosen that option!)

5. Set the Mood

Candles, fairy lights, or a simple lantern can make even a weekday dinner feel magical as the sun goes down.
