Keep reading to learn more about what sizes, styles and designs you can find to match your existing outdoor furniture. You can also use new outdoor accent tables as the impetus for a total update of your deck, patio, backyard seating or lounge area.
What are Outdoor Accent Tables?
Is there anything better than soaking up the sunshine with friends and family, a morning cup of coffee or an after-dinner cocktail in hand? With outdoor accent tables, you can have a place to put those drinks and furniture that makes your outdoor seating area feel just as comfortable as your interior entertaining spaces. Of course, occasional outdoor tables are also designed to withstand the elements when it's wet and cold outside, so there's no need to bring them in or hide them away when the weather is bad. Here are a few things to look for when shopping for outdoor accent tables for your seating area:
- Size. The right outdoor accent table must be the right size for your space. To measure, find the space where you want to put your new table and block it off with tape. Too cramped? Scale back. Feeling diminutive? Go for a larger table.
- Durability. Most outdoor furniture is designed to withstand the elements, but if you use your outdoor entertaining spaces regularly, you should look for durable materials that won't chip, scratch or get worn down over time. Natural wood, stone and other materials that fare well outside are ideal.
- Style. Match your home's exterior style for a cohesive look that's designer-friendly. Take cues from your home's architectural detailing when shopping for outdoor tables.
What Styles Can I Find?
Outdoor accent tables come in tons of different materials, sizes and looks. Here are a few options you can find when outfitting your outdoor spaces:
- Natural wood tables. Natural wood tables in go-to materials like teak are modern and stylish in almost every outdoor space. Look to match existing outdoor furniture or shop for a new outdoor furniture set to match your table.
- Outdoor tables made from modern-look materials. Natural stone, metal, steel and concrete all weather well while providing a contemporary look to your outdoor spaces.
- Rectangular, square and roundtables. Make the most of your space by narrowing down your shape preference before you start your search. Rectangular and square tables work in most spaces, but large open areas often benefit from a roundtable that's within reach for multiple seating positions. You can also find uniquely-shaped tables that are ultra-modern and sophisticated.
Update your outdoor seating area and make spending time outside more comfortable with an assortment of outdoor accent tables. You can also find side tables to flank your oversized seating to complete the look of your deck, patio or backyard lounge space.
