Outdoor dining tables

Bring your laptop and work outside in the fresh air. Create some space for a flower arrangement or a balcony herb garden. Prepare a meal outdoors and use the table to chop up your fresh veggies. 

A patio table can have as many uses as you have things to put on it. If you want a place for outdoor plants or need a site for snacks at a garden get together, you’ll find a great patio table at IKEA. 

Outdoor tables for your balcony or garden

If you have enough space, you need to consider how to use it. Are you planning on romantic one on one dinners? Maybe a smaller balcony table would be a good choice for this. Do you often find yourself hosting dinner parties for friends and relatives? Maybe a larger outdoor dining table will do the trick.

The answer to these questions should also influence the kind of environment you want to create in your outdoor space. For example, a wooden patio table with a nice brown stain finish will create a warm, cosy atmosphere. Choose a black metal outdoor table, and you will add a more modern touch. 

If your needs vary from time to time, a folding patio table could be the perfect solution for you. Fold it up and out of the way when not in use and can expand it for occasions that require it. 

Patio table materials and styles

In our wide selection, you’ll find tables in different shades of wood as well as in synthetic materials such as plastic or metal. 

Wooden patio tables need a bit of maintenance to stay fresh. They need to be kept clean, be protected from the weather when not in use, and be re-stained once or twice every year. 

Synthetic materials, on the other hand, require way less maintenance. Just clean them occasionally to prevent mildew or mould from setting in.  

If you like a particular style of our outdoor tables, you’ll be happy to find that you can build a set with matching outdoor dining chairs. And maybe you can find matching lounging furniture for a completely uniform garden style.
