Loccus Furniture | www.loccusfurniture.com | 9875804733
Nothing brings people together quite like dining under the open sky. Whether it’s a quiet breakfast, a lively dinner party, or casual evening drinks, your patio dining area plays a vital role in creating memorable outdoor experiences. But finding the perfect patio dining set takes more than picking out a table and chairs — it’s about balancing comfort, style, and function in a way that reflects your lifestyle.
At Loccus Furniture, we understand the importance of thoughtful design. Here’s your complete guide to choosing the ideal patio dining set for comfort, style, and seamless entertaining.
1. Start with Your Space: Measure & Visualize
Before browsing styles, it’s crucial to understand your available space. Take careful measurements of your patio, balcony, deck, or garden area where the dining set will be placed.
- Allow for flow: Leave at least 3 feet around the dining set for guests to move comfortably.
- Account for other furniture: Make sure your dining area integrates well with loungers, planters, or grills.
- Use masking tape or chalk to outline potential furniture layouts — this will help visualize how much room you really have.
At Loccus Furniture, our experts can help you map out furniture arrangements that maximize space without compromising on style or capacity.
2. Choose the Right Table Shape
The shape of your dining table should match your space and the way you like to entertain.
Round Tables
- Great for small patios or intimate gatherings
- Easier to navigate in tight spaces
- Promotes conversation with equal seating
Rectangular Tables
- Ideal for larger patios and family meals
- Offers maximum seating capacity
- Can accommodate serving dishes and centerpieces with ease
Square Tables
- Best for smaller groups or square-shaped patios
- Clean, symmetrical aesthetic
Loccus Furniture offers all shapes in premium materials, from solid teak and powder-coated aluminum to glass-topped modern frames, all designed for outdoor durability.
3. Consider Seating Styles for Comfort
When it comes to outdoor dining, comfort is key. Look for seating that encourages lingering — the hallmark of a good gathering.
Options include:
- Cushioned armchairs for luxurious seating
- Bench seating for a more casual, communal feel
- Stackable or folding chairs for space-saving flexibility
- Swivel or rocking chairs for extra comfort
Ensure the seating height matches the table and offers proper back support. Loccus Furniture’s dining chairs come with weather-resistant, high-resilience cushions for style and support that lasts.
4. Focus on Materials That Last
Outdoor furniture is exposed to the elements, so it’s essential to choose materials that are built to withstand weather while maintaining elegance.
- Teak Wood: Natural oils make it moisture- and insect-resistant
- Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, and ideal for modern aesthetics
- Synthetic Rattan/Wicker: UV- and fade-resistant with a timeless look
- Glass or Ceramic Tops: Easy to clean and heat-resistant
- All-weather Fabrics (like Sunbrella®): Mold-resistant, fade-proof, and washable
At Loccus Furniture, we use high-grade, outdoor-safe materials that combine performance with beauty, so your investment remains a source of pride year after year.
5. Make It Entertaining-Ready
If you love to entertain outdoors, think beyond the basics:
- Add a sideboard or serving cart for easy access to dishes and drinks
- Opt for extendable tables to accommodate more guests when needed
- Include ambient lighting such as lanterns, string lights, or table lamps
- Layer with outdoor rugs and table accessories for a cozy, styled look
Our design consultants at Loccus Furniture can help you choose complementary pieces to complete your dining area with elegance and function.
6. Match Your Style: Modern, Rustic, or Coastal?
Your patio should be a reflection of your personal taste. Fortunately, outdoor furniture design has evolved to offer just as much style as indoor pieces.
- Modern: Clean lines, neutral tones, sleek finishes
- Rustic: Warm woods, earthy textures, vintage-inspired looks
- Coastal: Light colors, woven materials, relaxed silhouettes
- Transitional: A blend of classic and contemporary
Loccus Furniture offers collections in all styles to help you express your design personality while maintaining cohesion across your indoor and outdoor spaces.
7. Maintenance Tips to Keep It Looking New
Even the most durable furniture benefits from a little care:
- Cover your dining set when not in use
- Clean frames and tabletops regularly with mild soap and water
- Wash or replace cushion covers seasonally
- Use UV-protective sprays on exposed surfaces (when applicable)
We offer a range of covers, cleaners, and care kits at Loccus Furniture to help protect your investment.
