Choosing the perfect table for your outdoor kitchen is more involved than you think - you need something that not only fits the space but complements your unique style as well. We’ve put together our top tips for buying the ultimate table for your outdoor space.
Build your outdoor kitchen
What comes first - the outdoor kitchen or the table? When it comes to finding the perfect table for your space, the kitchen definitely comes first.
Every home is different - some houses have a huge lawn without a veranda. Others may have a smaller backyard or an L-shaped patio. Therefore, every outdoor kitchen will be different. And the space left over might not fit a conventional-sized table.
So build your outdoor kitchen before you purchase that table you’ve had your eye on. After all, you want your new table to be functional and look good. And that means waiting until your outdoor kitchen is finished and seeing what fits.
Buy your chairs first
It may seem a little backwards, but consider buying your chairs before you get your dream table. That way, you ensure that everyone in your family will get a seat in your outdoor kitchen and that your table fits in the space perfectly.
Long gone are the days of cheap folding chairs and plastic seats. Dining chairs now come in a wide range of styles, sizes and heights - from the minimalist timber bench to the laid-back hammock chair. And depending on how many chairs you need, you may need a bigger or smaller table than you first realised.

Portion your table to fit the space
Don’t be limited to the same rectangular-shaped table that your grandma had. Your outdoor kitchen may not have the space for a traditional table. It might just look out of place or leave an awkward amount of room to walk around. Your new table needs to be portioned to fit the outdoor kitchen you have.
Thanks to modern furniture design, dining tables are available in all sorts of shapes and sizes. So choose a round table to fit into your round outdoor kitchen or a square table that complements your square entertaining area. This way, you’ll have enough room to move freely about your kitchen, and your new table won’t stick out like a sore thumb.
