Your outdoor dining room reflects a great deal about you.

It is very common to think that when it comes to outdoor furniture, armchairs, sofas, corner chairs or daybeds are the cornerstone on which the decoration of our gardens, porches, roof terraces and terraces rests.

Outdoor dining areas tend to go unnoticed. Not only are they an essential piece for enjoying life outdoors, they also say a lot about the personality of their users.

Your outdoor dining room reflects your personality.

In the following post we have listed the typology of the main outdoor dining rooms and how their users are, in a very general way. It's not about a scientific document, we simply wanted to reflect our experiences in the outdoor furniture sector on the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz.

Read on if you want to know what your outdoor dining room says about your personality.

Aluminium.

At PATIO we always recommend aluminium dining tables for anyone looking for outdoor furniture that requires almost no maintenance.

Coated with a good baked-on lacquer paint, aluminium tables and armchairs are excellent in terms of durability even in the most adverse weather conditions.

If you are one of these fans of aluminium tables, you are probably a cheerful and jovial person, who thinks about enjoying your outdoor space at all times and don't want to be thinking about cleaning garden furniture or maintenance products.

Aluminium for outdoor use: a safe bet.

Glass.

The use of glass in dining tables is a magnificent option to enhance the light in our surroundings. They provide a minimalist and modern design that gives spaciousness to the whole room.

The users of these glass tables, normally in combination with simple aluminium structures, tend to be people who are up to date with the today's trends.

Timber.

Owners of wooden outdoor dining areas are usually people who attach great importance to nature and integration with the environment. Having a table or armchairs made of wood also guarantees the purchase of a unique and easily biodegradable product.

Wood, on the other hand, requires a certain amount of care and attention in order to retain its properties. Those who opt for these dining tables are usually people who do not shy away from manual work and like to leave their personal mark on everything they do.

Synthetics.

Outdoor tables with synthetic table tops such as centostone are gaining more and more popularity in the outdoor areas of our homes every year. Centostone is a material similar to ceramic but much harder and more robust, with many customisation options.

It is coated with special resins that make it very resistant to scratches and heat.  In addition, it does not absorb humidity, which prevents the appearance of fungus.

Anyone who has a table of this type on their terrace or in their garden is obviously someone who likes to keep up to date with the latest decorative trends, both indoors and outdoors. He spares no expense to get the best on the market with the best quality and likes to personalise down to the smallest detail, always avoiding cheap, mass-produced furniture.

Extendable.

Users of extendable outdoor dining tables are in a class of their own. They don't care whether their décor is more modern or rustic, whether they follow one trend or another, or whether their outdoor furniture is not on the cover of a fashion magazine.

They are usually friendly and familiar people who are very clear that what they need is a good garden table around which they can enjoy themselves with their people. And the more people at the table, the better: friends, family, neighbours... That is why it is very important that the outdoor table is extendable, so that no one is left without being able to join the party. 

And you, which outdoor dining table do you prefer? We'll read you in the "comments" section.
