If you’re looking for a fantastic way to add more to your garden, then you might want to consider creating a beautiful dining area. A garden dining area can be the perfect place to entertain guests, enjoy an evening with the family or experience the best days of summer. It can add value to your home and guarantee that when you do sell, people love the look of your back garden. If you have a smaller home, an outdoor dining area can also provide a stunning extension for your property that can be easy and affordable to build. Here are some of the considerations you should make here.

 

Finding The Right Furniture

 

You can get started by choosing the furniture for your garden dining area. There are lots of possibilities here. For instance, you can opt for a more casual dining spot with low, comfortable seating and a small outdoor coffee table. Alternatively, you also choose a large, wooden dining table, perfect for dinner parties and when you have guests over to your home. When you select furniture, consider whether it will be under shelter or exposed to the elements. If you’re not going to use a shelter, remember that you can weatherproof the furniture to make sure it stays looking beautiful for years to come.

 

How Far Will You Go?

 

Be aware that while some homeowners will settle for a place where they can enjoy a meal together, others will want to build an area where they can prepare the meal outdoors too. You might think that we mean a standard BBQ setup and, while this is a possibility, you can go further. For instance, you could create a stone BBQ, build a DIY stone pizza oven or even create an ideal, outdoor kitchen area complete with oven. Outdoor kitchens have become very popular with people embracing the alfresco lifestyle.

 

Separate Or Connected?

 

Think about whether you want your dining area connected or away from your home, perhaps on the far side of the garden. If you are going to include electrical equipment a detached dining area will be more complicated to build as you will need to lay down wiring. You will also need to make sure that you have the right type of ground work such as a patio or perhaps a gorgeous mosaic.

 

The Right Cover

 

You need to think about cover for a dining area. This is a smart choice if you want to protect your furniture from the elements or create an area that you can use all year around. Shelters can be attached to your home or be freestanding and have a lot of cool features. For instance, you can invest in a roof with slats that open to reveal a beautiful starlit sky above.

 

Adding More To The Area

 

Finally, remember, there are plenty of options to dress up your garden area. An example of this would be a water feature. With beautiful water fountains from Kelkay you can add a fantastic centrepiece or attraction to your dining area. Kelkay water features come in all different shapes and sizes. You can even get a Kelkay easy fountain with a spherical design where water flows over the sides.
