Friday Inspiration–Outdoor Alfresco Dining Ideas We Love
The term al fresco comes from the Italian language and loosely translated means “in fresh air.” Dining alfresco simply means eating outside, but it’s not your regular picnic on the blanket — this type of dining usually involves refined tablescapes, comfortable seating and a generally more party-like atmosphere.
Alfresco dining can happen anywhere: from cafes, pubs, and restaurants to gardens, picnic-ready spots with seating and even your own backyard. From today, we are going to share daily alfresco dining inspiration.
Casual Elegance
Nothing can beat to dine in your lush backyard garden when it is a sunny day. We love how the modernized classical woven chairs nicely pair with a modernized traditional French stone table. The lien napkins and wick-covered glasses add a touch of softness.
Textured yet refined, this gardener chair has a classic, whimsical style that would be fabulous in any setting. A cushion decked out in all-weather fabric completes the look.
This stone table is the perfect mix of rustic and chic. We love the look of the gathered faux twig base beneath the smooth reconstituted stone tabletop. The white hue keeps things relaxed and brightens up any space. A weather-friendly construction makes it great for outdoor use. (Of course, with a design so fabulous, you may also want to try this look indoors.)
Crisp, clean, and made of soft linen, this classic napkin set is a tabletop essential. Each set comes pulled together with a navy tassel tie – great for gift giving or for keeping your linens neatly organized.
Handcrafted with recycled glass and woven seagrass, these glasses will bring a coastal vibe to your tabletop. They’re also easy to care for with removeable seagrass covers.
An Inviting Table
Finally, we are able to host a big party for family and friends in the backyard. We just feel so happy to look at this long table filled with nicely styled charcuterie—inviting and festival.
The design of teak garden table was inspired by the communal vibe of German beer gardens. It comfortably seats 6 to 8 – and it’s made of fine teak to last season after season. A powdercoated frame (steel to brace the teak top, aluminum legs to make lifting super easy) protects against rust. Over time, the teak will take on a silvery grey patina, giving your table a look that’s full of character. Matching benches sold separately.

Dressed up in weather-friendly Sunbrella®️ fabric, this pillow is the perfect addition to an outdoor sofa or chair. Classic piping along the edges offers a pop of contrast, and a single button tuft brings a stylish design detail.
