Garden Tables

How you use the garden will narrow down your choice of garden table quickly. An outdoor side table keeps drinks close to a favourite chair, while a garden coffee table gives sofas and lounge seating a shared centre point. Bistro tables suit coffee or light meals for two, and a larger garden dining table gives you more room for serving dishes, guests and longer outdoor meals. A dining set can also take the guesswork out of matching the table with the right garden chairs.

Shape matters when space is tight. Round tables have no corners to squeeze past and can work well on smaller patios, while square designs sit neatly against straight walls or in garden corners. A rectangular table usually makes better use of a longer space and gives more people a clear place to sit.

When it comes to styles and finishes, acacia wood brings warmth to paving and planting, while glass tops keep woven bases visible and help smaller areas feel less crowded. Concrete finishes create a more modern look, and rattan works naturally with relaxed garden seating.
