Whether you’re enjoying a burger with friends, sharing a pizza with family, or toasting the summer months with a refreshing cocktail, Dobbies has everything you need to create the ultimate alfresco dining set up in your garden, regardless of size. Here are some recommendations from Dobbies’ Senior Buyer, Lynsey Abbot on how to best make use of your outdoor space this summer.
Get Cozy
If your lifestyle favours a more relaxed approach to dining, Lynsey recommends opting for a comfortable sofa set with matching table to create a snug spot in your garden. Lynsey says: “Outdoor sofa sets are incredibly versatile and are perfect for those who want to make the most of indoor-outdoor living. Bringing the inside out with soft textures, throw pillows and blankets is a great way to create a flow from home to garden and will make your outdoor space feel like a natural extension of your home. Ideal for those who like to entertain, a cozy sofa set is the perfect place to enjoy a drink with friends.”
Cleverly Compact
If you’re working with a smaller outdoor area but still want to make the most of the summer nights, Lynsey says a chic bistro set is the perfect choice. Lynsey comments: “If you have a compact garden
but still want to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining, a clever fold away bistro set will be your favourite summer accessory. Ideal for sunny morning coffees, relaxed lunches and late-night dinners under the stars, a handy bistro set will take up just a small amount of space, making it fantastic for city dwellers who want to make the most of their balconies. To add a personal touch, style it with some colourful throw pillows that can be brought inside at night-time.”
Timeless Neutrals
For a classic dining set up that won’t go out of style, Lynsey recommends a neutral dining table that can be styled in different ways. Lynsey says: If you’re looking for a dining set up that’s suitable for the whole family, you can’t go wrong with a classic wooden table and matching chairs. Perfect for family BBQs and summer celebrations, the classic outdoor dining table is great for larger gardens and can be styled to suit your taste. For a modern look, pair your table with contrasting chairs in a dark tone and style your set with complementing tableware in an on-trend matte charcoal.”
