That holiday feeling for your outdoor table: two summer looks to add style
Two styles, one summer feeling! Either bring a Mediterranean flair into your home, with limes, olives and a blue-and-white checked pattern to make you feel like you’re chilling on the coast. Or immerse yourself in a tropical holiday mood, where mango, grapefruit and warm terracotta tones combine to create the perfect ambience. Both ideas are based on natural materials, fresh fruit and a stunning array of plates in summery hues. With IKEA basics and a touch of imagination, it’s easy to conjure up the perfect summer right on your patio.

Tableware mix for a coastal chic oasis
Woven place mats made from seagrass are the anchor of this look. Combine them with a harmonious tableware mix: matt white with splashes of blue and deep brown wooden bowls. A neat idea for napkins: a blue-and-white checked tea towel, loosely tied with a jute cord and matt gold cutlery adds a fresh touch to the proceedings.
Summery details to inspire
A fluted carafe full of lime slices and a bowl of green olives add a refreshing splash of colour. A blue water glass is the perfect grissini holder. Finish with dark olives, small rosemary plants and a lovely bouquet of flowers for the perfect dose of natural charm.
Sweet refreshment in the lounge
For the grand finale, head to the lounge, where a carefully curated Mediterranean feel underpins a relaxed summer atmosphere. Homemade fruit ice lollies are the perfect sweet treat for cooling off on hot days.
Burgundy tropical vibes: summery table decoration for your outdoor dinner
Start feeling tropical on your terrace! The burgundy tropical style combines rich colours, shimmering metal and woven natural materials. Deep burgundy meets calming green-grey, while chrome accents and a hint of rose elegantly round off the look – perfect for balmy summer evenings outdoors.
An exciting mix of tableware with splashes of colour
This mix of tableware is what defines the look: green-grey plates form a calm base. These are complemented by deep burgundy bowls in interesting shapes and shimmering chrome, creating exciting contrasts. This looks fantastic with burgundy-coloured cloth napkins on a grey cotton tablecloth with a linen effect. This on-trend colour combination of earthy tones and metallic accents brings the summer vibe right to your patio.
Exotic fruits and delicacies
The tall, terracotta-coloured fruit bowl definitely catches the eye: a beautiful blend of grapefruit, mango and avocado create a beautiful colour combination that exudes freshness and a summery vibe. A burgundy-coloured cheese platter laden with a variety of cheeses and olives in a glass bowl add to the tropical feel – it’s a true feast for the eyes and the palate alike!
Relax in style in the lounge
A chrome-coloured tray holding a pitcher of fresh citrus water adds a crisp, refreshing touch and links the table to the lounge. Shades of rose and terracotta along with striped cushions create a vibrant interplay of hues, while soft cushions and a light blanket are an invitation to relax. The atmospheric table lamp lends the perfect finishing touch to the atmosphere – turning the lounge into a favourite cosy spot.
