A summer lunch, a laid-back drink or a dinner that lasts into the late hours — by styling your garden table in a fun way, outdoor dining becomes a true experience. And it really doesn’t have to be complicated. Start by choosing your color palette. Think soft neutral tones with a cheerful accent here and there, like a lemon-yellow napkin, a teal glass or a flower vase in the center that immediately draws the eye. Color plays a big role in setting the mood at the table, especially outside. Mix ceramics with linen, wood with glass. This creates an exciting combination that looks effortlessly stylish but is perfectly put together.

And then there’s the lighting. As soon as the sun sets, ambiance takes the lead. Wireless table lamps like Edison the Petit or Cheerio add a soft glow exactly where you want it. No cords, just a pleasant atmosphere. Tip: layer different light sources for added depth at the table.

Comfort also counts. Soft seat pillows make all the difference between a quick sit-down and hours of lingering. Choose pillows that can handle a surprise splash of rain and are easy to clean. Match them with your table styling, or go for contrast. What ties it all together? The details. A carafe of water with mint, wooden boards with tasty bites, a stack of napkins within reach. Everything can be just a little different.

In short, with a bit of attention, setting your garden table becomes more than just putting out food. It becomes a place where you gather, unwind and enjoy the good life outside. Discover everything on this page about how to style your table with design.

What’s a cozy garden table without the right lighting? Exactly – outdoor table styling with the right lights makes all the difference. Once the sun goes down, the evening truly begins. With the right lamps on the table, it’s easy to keep that relaxed vibe going whether you're enjoying a long dinner, playing cards or having a good conversation.

Take the Oloha lamps, for example. They offer warm, dimmable light and are a piece of art in themselves. Use them as table lamps, hang them on the wall or let them shine as a bold design object. Oloha works wirelessly, is rechargeable and shines for up to 90 hours. Indoors or out, the Oloha bowls always add a special touch to your space. Done dining? Just use it as a fruit bowl or hang it on the wall. Edison the Petit is another ambiance maker that fits anywhere. A white, wireless table lamp that’s easy to recharge, gives up to 24 hours of light and is simple to clean. Want to change the look? Just add a Cooper Cappie, a swappable lampshade that instantly creates a whole new vibe. And for that cozy campfire feel, there’s the Flamtastique XS. This small oil lamp is perfect for those evenings when you’d rather stay outside than go in.

Lighting matters, but accessories make a big difference too. The Place-we-met placemats bring color, texture and protection to your table. Available in a range of shades and easy to combine with tableware, glassware or flowers. Add a few candles and the mood is complete. Perfect for evenings that stay warm, late and full of good company. And where should those candles go? The Can-dog and Can-dolly candle holders are perfect. These aluminum candle holders look like inflatable balloon animals but have a bold design edge. Can-dog is long and low, Can-dolly a bit taller. Either way, they’re guaranteed to grab your guests’ attention.

Styling your outdoor table is about more than food. It’s the start of spending time together, enjoying the good life outdoors and creating memories. What brings it all together is that unique mix of atmosphere, ease and playful design. Want even more inspiration? Scroll on to discover more accessories that complete your outdoor moment.
