Summer is here and it is high time to rethink the furniture making up the garden to enjoy country meals with family and friends. If you are missing a table, follow the guide to choose the best model.
The personalization of the style of decoration goes through the right choice of material. In the range of the most popular materials at the moment, resin is at the forefront. Braided resin in particular is very popular because it does not fade and is UV and chlorine resistant. It gives a contemporary, exotic and design air to your outdoor space. Stainless steel is another very common choice. It can cope with corrosion and sunlight. But watch out for scratches. A problem that does not fear aluminum which has the advantage of being insensitive to bad weather and of great longevity.
Finally, if you want to give your garden a resolutely rural air, bet on a wooden table, preferably of an exotic but durable species (more information on this site). It will be more resistant to humidity and will give nobility and warmth to your living space.
The shape of the table is also to be considered and depends in particular on the space available. Functional and practical, the square table fits into small spaces. The ideal is to opt for models that can be extended in case you receive a lot of guests. Otherwise, bet directly on the rectangular model. This large table for many guests gives the impression of being very compact. Thanks to it, you can organize large tables. Another possible choice:the round table which is a symbol of conviviality and which facilitates circulation.
In terms of style, anything goes. Design, urban chic, rustic, retro, classic or contemporary... you have a very wide choice. All you have to do is choose a model that matches the atmosphere you want to create in your garden. Round wooden tables, for example, are ideal for a natural and country style. Your garden will display an industrial and modern look with a rectangular wrought iron table.
It is crucial to also take into account the level of maintenance required by the table. Be sure to choose the model that makes your life the most easy. Depending on the materials and care, the piece of furniture will live between 5 and 20 years. In general, the different materials do not require much maintenance. Soapy water and a sponge are enough to remove all the dirt. Wood, on the other hand, will need special treatment. If it is a question of exotic wood, it is advisable to apply a protective oil annually. Ditto for the steel which will have to receive anti-corrosion treatments from time to time.
Garden tables are available at all prices. Polypropylene resin models are the cheapest since they cost between 50 and 200 euros. The same is true for wrought iron tables which are priced between 100 and 300 euros. In wood, you will spend between 300 and 1500 euros. And in resin, count 200 to 600 euros.
