Patios and decks are like rooms without ceilings that we live in when the weather is nice. If you are a person who virtually stays outdoors from sunup to sundown, it would make sense to surround yourself with the decor you love. Add a bistro table, some throw pillows and planters and you will have a whole new look to enjoy throughout this spring and summer season!

I fell in love with bistro tables when I saw my friend’s cozy little garden path. She installed some stepping stones, making a winding walkway under some trees at the side of her house. Next, she added a lovely bistro table with chairs and some large pots with flowers in them. It makes such a beautiful scene. She and her children have tea parties under the trees in their little garden hideaway.

Whether you are creating a garden area with an outdoor dining table or a bench or adding furnishings to the look of your patio / deck, a little bit goes a long way.

Bistro tables are quaint little tables like you might find in a bistro restaurant. You can fit small cups or beverage glasses and a plate or two on them – not much more. If you are all about feasting, you will want a few of them clustered together or you may want to move up to a full sized table.

Now, when it comes to setting a scene for smaller children to enjoy, a pretty bistro style side table is shorter could be perfect for joining the grownups. This floral side table is so pretty, it is the one I would pick! It is only 15 inches high, compared to the 22 – 26 inches of most bistro tables. There are several designs to choose from, too.

If you wish to accommodate more than two or three people but still want the bistro look, consider using more than one table. They can be grouped or positioned at corners of the deck or patio. The nice thing about them is that they tend to be relatively light weight so they are easily moved.
