Dining Sets for Outdoor Resort Venues
Adding a functional outdoor space for your restaurant or hotel venue opens it up for growth by giving you a more extensive floor area, the ability to host more people and additional income.
This dining and hospitality trend boosts your capacity and ambiance and enhances your establishment's visibility, making people curious about its experience.

Putting Together the Look and Layout
Here are some vital things to consider if you plan on turning your outdoor space into an extended dining area for your restaurant or hotel.
The Surroundings
First, assess if the surroundings of your available outdoor space are conducive to dining. If there are challenges like nearby parking or noisy street traffic, plan the space accordingly to minimize these inconveniences. Add tall plants or decor to block the view of vehicles. Provide relaxing music to offset the ambient noise.
Don’t forget to mount umbrellas to block the high noon heat and add panache to your outdoor dining setup.
Arrange seating so guests can admire the best views. If you have a rooftop space, plan your layout so people can enjoy the sight of the city skyline. On the ground, give your diners relaxing views of your garden, a textured courtyard wall, or a building promenade.
The Furniture
It's important to pick dining tables and chairs with designs that seamlessly blend in with your theme. Modern and minimalist square and rectangular tables, side chairs, armchairs, and bar stools with clean lines bring functionality and visual appeal to your outdoor dining setup. Choose colors that complement your space's natural vibe, like a blue side chair or an organic-design armchair.
Durability, ergonomics, and aesthetics are essential when buying outdoor dining pieces. Look for outdoor dining furniture made with aluminum, teakwood, or all-weather wicker, as these materials can withstand harsh outdoor elements like intense sun heat, wind, rain, and snow.
Meanwhile, pieces that are easy to clean and maintain should meet ASTM and BIFMA standards. This gives you peace of mind that your chosen furniture will last for the long haul.
The Lighting
Al fresco dining provides abundant natural light during the day, but remember to provide enough lighting for evening dining. You can add string lights that double as decorative accents and layer them with a central light. Ambient light from an overhead source can also lend your outdoor space sufficient illumination.
Combine varying degrees of luminosity to balance comfort with coziness. If your hotel outdoor space is near a pool or body of water, you can position lights so they reflect against the water, adding drama to your outdoor scenery.
Space Optimization
Choose pieces that fit the available space. Bulky furnishing can make a small space look cramped despite the open-air setting, and mismatched tables and chairs can look awkward and uncomfortable.
In addition, maximize small corners by adding small square or round tables with two chairs. But make sure there's enough space in between them for privacy. Benches can also work with long tables, providing a casual, informal vibe.
