There’s something special about eating outside. Whether it’s a leisurely afternoon tea, a family lunch or a relaxed supper with friends, taking meals into the garden makes even an ordinary day feel like an occasion. And when the sun is shining, it’s the perfect excuse to dress your outdoor table and make the most of your garden.
Create a Beautiful Outdoor Table Setting
A well-dressed table with an outdoor tablecloth to add colour and pattern while creating a wipe clean surface. There’s no need to save your best table setting for indoors either. A pretty outside tablecloth can transform a garden table, making it feel just as considered as your dining table inside the house.
Dining Under a Parasol?
If your outdoor table has a parasol, you don't have to compromise on using a tablecloth.A tablecloth with a parasol hole is designed specifically for tables with a central parasol. It allows you to create a smart, finished table setting while still enjoying some welcome shade from the sun.
Afternoon Tea in the Garden
Enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea in the garden. Think pretty china, a pot of freshly brewed tea, homemade cake, sandwiches and perhaps a few freshly picked flowers from the garden. Add a patterned tablecloth and some bunting, and you have a wonderfully inviting setting for family and friends. A cup of tea and a slice of cake can feel like a treat everyday!
Practical Can Still Be Pretty
Outdoor dining needs to be practical, but that doesn't mean your table has to look functional or plain. Choosing the right garden tablecloth gives you an easy way to introduce personality to your outdoor space.
And when the meal is over, the practical benefits really come into their own. Simply wipe away spills and crumbs, leaving your table ready for the next garden gathering.
So, whether you're planning a summer barbecue, a family breakfast, a relaxed lunch or a traditional afternoon tea, set the table, head outside and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
