Outdoor Side, End, and Accent Tables to the Trade
These days, a home's exterior spaces are just as important as the interiors. With clients continuing to spend a lot of time at home, creating outdoor living and dining rooms is necessary. Just as a variety of seating types belong in a well-planned living room, they are essential to include outdoors. The Porto Club swivel chair from Azzurro Living is an exceptionally roomy outdoor lounge chair. The handwoven, all-weather ash ropes strung around its matte charcoal frame make it a contemporary piece like no other. The Honolulu Chair from Moe's Home Collection is an outdoor dining chair that takes cues from the famous mid-century Bertoia chair. The collection of Sensation indoor/outdoor modular chairs works together to form several sleek outdoor sofas and outdoor sectional configurations. Outdoor ottomans and a handful of garden stools add versatility to any layout.
Finally, what's more relaxing than lounging poolside on a teak or woven outdoor chaise or outdoor daybed?
Bringing the indoors out can take many different forms. It can be casual and relaxed, or, in some cases, it may be designed to be even more formal and chaste than the interiors. In either case, faux Bois natural finishes are some of the most compelling for outdoor living. Faux Bois is a concrete mixture rendered as tree branches. Currey's Hidcote console table and Luzon console table are excellent examples of the range of character possible with this classic garden treatment. Concrete can take other forms, too; the Higham cocktail table in concrete is smooth, bold, and contemporary. Teak is another durable material for the outdoors. Sunpan's Viga coffee table is sure to age beautifully in the elements. While metal is less resilient over time, it can be excellent in small doses, as in the steel and natural slate Zuma outdoor side table. A fire table of any sort helps keep guests warm when the sun goes down.
