How to accessorise Pacific Lifestyle garden dining sets

It’s all so harmonious and serene. These designs work in any garden setting, always classic and wonderfully classy. Here’s how to add an extra spark to your Pacific Lifestyle garden dining set, making the most of the look. It’s lovely out there. Let’s make it even lovelier!

Ways to accessorise Pacific Lifestyle garden dining sets

Here’s our guide to making your next outdoor dining experience even more beautiful. First, light and heat. Think patio heaters.

You can get table-top patio heaters specially designed for outdoor dining tables, a great way to add intimacy to the occasion and safer than candles when there’s a breeze. They’ll warm you up as well as giving off light.

Full-size patio heaters standing around your dining set creates an intimate feel to draw people in and get the conversation flowing.

Next, add colour and texture to make the dining area feel more like an indoor room. Because Pacific lifestyle garden dining sets are made in quiet, calm colours they give you a nice, simple backdrop to dress.

• Choose natural stone, rope, cream and similar natural / heritage colours for a soft, toning effect
• Accessorise with black and dark grey for drama, a sleek and sophisticated look
• Go for vivid patterns and colours that clash in an exciting way for a warm, eccentric welcome

So what kind of accessories work best? We’ve split them into categories.

Garden dining set accessories

• Table mats and mats for wine glasses
• Stylish crockery and cutlery
• Smart matching glassware or, at the other end of the scale, an exciting mix of vintage and retro glasses that don’t match
• A vintage tea set or coffee set – or something on-trend and brand new
• Fresh flowers
• A table runner
• A decorative centrepiece – a bowl piled high with fruits, a sculptural object, a dramatic potted plant low enough to see each other across the table, a big pottery dish or decorative candle holder
• A pile of soft fleece throws or blankets for people to snuggle into after the food’s finished and the conversation flows
• Scatter cushions for extra-extra luxury!

The surroundings

• Solar LED fairy lights or ground-level solar lamps
• Wooden candle lamps
• Pots of flowering plants – think scented for a magical effect
• Plant stands or plant shelves stacked with potted greenery and blooms
• Bunting
• Garden shade to give alfresco eating a cosy, more private feel
• Outdoor rugs on the floor – for an exotic effect like a Bedouin tent
• A drinks trolley to help the event go smoothly, a folding butlers tray for easy serving
• Add a side table for those essential extra bits and bobs that you don’t want on the table
