Outdoor Tables

The versatility of outdoor tables

An outdoor table is one of the most practical and versatile pieces you can add to your alfresco space. Whether you're entertaining friends, enjoying family meals, or simply having a morning cuppa in the sun, a sturdy, stylish table is essential. From large outdoor dining tables perfect for weekend BBQs to a compact small outdoor table for balconies or courtyards, there’s a fit for every lifestyle and layout.

Outdoor tables aren’t just for dining either. Use a café-style bistro table for two, create a reading nook with a side table, or opt for a bar-height table to bring the party vibes outdoors. Browse our collection of outdoor dining tables, outdoor bar tables, and bistro and café tables to find the perfect match for your outdoor setup.

Outdoor tables with storage solutions

When space is at a premium, choosing an outdoor table with added functionality is a smart move. Some designs feature hidden compartments or shelving underneath, perfect for storing cushions, tableware or BBQ accessories. Others combine bench seating with lift-top tables, helping you keep your area tidy without sacrificing style.

For smaller patios or balconies, a small outdoor table that doubles as storage makes a big impact without taking up valuable floor space. You can also pair your table with coordinating pieces from our outdoor coffee and side table collection for added convenience and style.

Styles and materials for outdoor tables

From classic timber to sleek aluminium and textured wicker, outdoor tables come in a wide range of materials to suit any look and setting. Timber adds warmth and a natural touch, while metal and concrete finishes offer a cooler, modern look. Glass tops can bring an airy, contemporary vibe, especially in compact spaces.

If you're looking for a space-saving dining option, opt for a round or foldable outdoor dining table. Prefer a more casual look? A bistro table in black, white or bright colours can add personality to your outdoor space.

Whether your outdoor aesthetic leans coastal, contemporary or rustic, there’s a table to match. Pair your table with chairs or benches from our outdoor chairs collection to complete the look.

How to choose the right outdoor table

Choosing the right outdoor table comes down to how much space you have and how you plan to use it. Measure your area carefully and leave enough room around the table for chairs and movement. A small outdoor table may be perfect for a narrow balcony, while a 6- or 8-seater outdoor dining table suits larger patios or backyards.

Material is another key factor. Aluminium and resin wicker tables are lightweight, durable and weather-resistant, great for frequent outdoor use. Timber requires a little more care but offers timeless style and warmth. If your space is multi-functional, a foldable or extendable table offers flexibility for entertaining and everyday use.

For balconies and compact spaces, explore our balcony sets for beautifully coordinated and size-conscious options.

Choosing accessories and chairs for your outdoor table

The right accessories and chairs elevate your outdoor table from functional to fabulous. Look for weatherproof seat cushions, outdoor rugs and umbrellas to create a layered, inviting look. When selecting seating, make sure it’s the correct height for your table and offers the comfort you need, whether you’re enjoying long meals or casual drinks.

Mix and match textures for a more relaxed style, or go for a matching set for a polished, cohesive feel. Our outdoor chairs collection offers a wide range of designs, from stackable chairs to relaxed loungers, so you can curate your perfect alfresco setup.

FAQ

What size outdoor table should I get for a small space?

A small outdoor table, bistro table, or foldable option is ideal for compact balconies or patios. Look for round or square designs that don’t overwhelm the space. Round outdoor tables with pedestal bases make good use of space, and sleigh leg table styles maintain a more open aesthetic.

How do I protect my outdoor table from the elements?

Choose weather-resistant materials like powder-coated steel, aluminium or treated timber. Use covers when not in use and store cushions indoors during heavy rain or sun exposure.

Can I mix outdoor table styles with different chair designs?

Absolutely. Mixing styles can create an inviting, casual look. Just ensure that the chair height matches the table for comfortable seating. A good rule of thumb for the distance between a seat and the underside of a dining table is 25-30cm.
