It’s the perfect time to enjoy the sunny weather! From daytime to nighttime, give your lanai or your roofed porch the most fun setup for brunch and dinner parties you can host!
Whether your outdoor space is a city balcony or a sprawling backyard, dining outdoors is an exciting way to spend time with your friends and family, especially during the warmer months of the year. Transforming your backyard or lanai into a dining area involves very little effort. The goal is to create an outdoor eating area that’s both comfortable and stylish.
These are some of the most elegant and fun table setting ideas for your lanai:
Setup your al fresco dining with the best of the best tableware and dinnerware! Don’t skimp on setting the table, there are so many beautifully handcrafted ceramic plates, bowls, and glassware at AllHome you can choose from!
There are many tableware options available these days that are made specifically with al fresco occasions in mind. Ideally, choosing unbreakable tableware for outdoor dining is your best bet. The styles have improved a lot in recent years and there are many attractive designs available. Plates made of melamine, tin, and acrylic are formulated for outdoor wear and tear yet still look beautiful enough for your chicest outside dinner parties. They are designed to be shatter-proof when moving about the patio, scratch-resistant, kid-friendly, and lightweight enough to carry in a picnic basket.
From designs that lean into their materials like fanciful acrylic bowls to melamine plates that look like real ceramics, the variety of designs are vast and playful to inspire your next alfresco gathering. But if you still want to showcase your beautiful dining ceramics, you can still do that! Just always keep in mind to keep it away from the kids!
Pick a spot that’s close to your kitchen if possible. Invest in a lightweight tray, which will be very handy for bringing food and tableware to the outdoor area. Have a drinks station where guests can help themselves to a top up!
A combination of shade and sun is ideal when eating in the fresh air. Put up a patio umbrella or consider investing in an awning or sun shade sail. You can also add an outdoor cooling system, such as outdoor misting fans to beat the summer heat!
There are lots of ways to create a stylish outdoor table centerpiece. Try freshly picked flowers, berries, herbs or grasses in small vases. You could even use decorative cabbages for a quirky look or shells for a beachside theme. Space your table decorations out so that you can still see each guest easily!
You can also add stylish décor to your table with function in mind. Get paperweights for your stylish paper napkins, or add twine for your linen napkins. Add tablecloths or table runners and feel free to mix and match their beautiful patterns, as long as the color scheme matches.
Place colorful padded cushions on each chair. If the weather is chilly, provide lightweight blankets for your guests, set up a patio heater or position the table close to a fire pit. An outdoor fan will keep everyone cool when the weather heats up.
Dealing with bugs in an outdoor dining setting comes with the territory. To help lessen this irksome problem, you can use citronella candles to keep bugs away. Add covers for the food when it’s not being served.
The outdoor setting itself will provide much of the ambiance, especially if you live in an area with beautiful scenery. But you still can give your outdoor dining experience a little boost. Consider a centerpiece of flowers, as well as planters around the dining space, especially if your property doesn’t naturally have much greenery. And if you’ll be dining in the dark, make sure to add outdoor lighting. Outdoor string lights are excellent for adding a warm glow that isn’t too harsh to take away from the beauty of a starry night.
You also can set up speakers to have some music while you eat, as long as it’s soft enough for guests to talk over. Include a mix of instrumental pieces or ballads for dining and party anthems you can dance to for later!
Have fun styling your lanai tablescapes and let your creativity run free! Take stock of the tips we’ve stated above and you’re on the right path on table setting and styling. Choose colorful and fun accessories to brighten up your dinner table. There are some very good acrylic wine glasses and water glasses these days.
