Adapt the dimensions of the table to those of the balcony
For good choose the right outdoor table for your balcony, you must take into account its surface area. As with any interior or exterior space, the furniture must be suitable for the surface in which it is located.
For small balconies, it is recommended to favor tables that take up little space. Some models, like those offered by Maisons du Monde, are foldable to optimize space as much as possible. When the table is not in use, it is folded and stored on the balcony.
Larger balconies can be furnished with larger tables. These will not need to be folded. Remember to take the measurements of your balcony before purchasing your table and don’t forget to provide space for chairs and to move around without difficulty on your balcony.
Take into account the number of place settings
This criterion is linked to the dimensions of the table. To find the perfect table, you must take into account the number of members who make up your household to which you add the number of people you are used to entertaining.
If you spend most of your meals alone, a small table of two people is more than sufficient. On the other hand, if there are already four of you and you like to entertain people, plan a table that can accommodate up to eight or ten people.
You can also bet on tables with extensions. They transform quickly and allow you to accept as many people as you want.
Define the shape and style of the table
To find the perfect outdoor table for you, you also need to think about its shape. This will once again depend on the size of your balcony.
A round table is more convivial but reserved for small spaces and meals in very small groups. A rectangular table is more classic but also takes up a lot more space on a balcony. The compromise between these two forms is square table. It takes up less space than a rectangular table and still allows you to eat together comfortably.
It’s up to you to decide between a table with clean lines for a modern atmosphere or an older table for a vintage style.
Choose the table according to your style
It is not because your table is located on your balcony that it should not reflect the style of your interior decoration. Two criteria will have an impact on the style of your table: material and color.
Regarding the material, several possibilities are available to you as you will see on the Maisons du Monde website. Braided resin has established itself as a trend for outdoor furniture. Both elegant and modern, this material has a retro side that will seduce you. The colors offered are classic: taupe, gray or brown.
Wood is a material greatly appreciated both in interior and exterior decoration because it is natural and warm. As far as colors are concerned, it is the wood species that will make the difference.
If neither wood nor woven resin tempts you, you may be able to be convinced by wrought iron but your balcony must be solid because this material is heavy or by steel or aluminum.
The choice of your outdoor table to equip your balcony will depend on several criteria and in particular on the surface area of the latter. Opt for a functional and practical table that will meet your desires and needs.
