Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to get ready for life on the patio again. And for you, maybe that means outdoor gatherings with family and friends – sharing a delicious meal with the people you love. To help you create the perfect setting at your patio table, we’ve brought together an exciting new collection of outdoor entertaining accessories – dinnerware, drinkware, linens, and candles. They’re durable enough for outdoor living, and they’re beautiful too.
Shatterproof Dinnerware + Drinkware
With our new collection of patio table settings and drinkware, you can enjoy outdoor living without the hassle of hauling out your heavy – and breakable – indoor dishes. Our new melamine plates, bowls, and serving pieces come in seven elegant designs that look exactly like stoneware. But they’re light-weight and durable for outdoor entertaining. Each style draws inspiration from natural materials – marble, wood, and stone – so they can be mixed and matched easily into a seamless, nature-inspired collection. Another exciting addition to our patio entertainment group is our collection of shatterproof acrylic drinkware – drinking glasses, tumblers, wine, and stemless wine glasses. They look so much like real glassware, you’ll only know the difference when you pick one up.
Outdoor Table Linens
Table linens are another important part of a beautiful tablescape – indoors and out. Molly Pool – who brings together our patio entertainment collection – is a big fan of fabric napkins for outdoor dining. Fabric napkins not only dress up our casual gatherings, they’re also reusable – so they’re good to the environment – and they won’t fly away on a gust of wind. We have several new sets of napkins she’s really excited about, along with our selection of coordinating placemats and table runners.
When you visit, be sure to take a look at our collection of outdoor placemats and rugs from Chilewich – with clean, modern weaves in a variety of colors. The Chilewich collection not only features a unique vinyl yarn that’s durable and washable, but it also uses Microban antimicrobial protection to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew for the life of the product. If you don’t see something you like in our assortment, just ask – we can place a special order for you too.
Evening Lighting
Once the furniture is in place and you’ve chosen the perfect table setting, it’s time to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your outdoor room. Flickering candlelight sets a relaxing mood, and Molly loves the look of our new wicker lanterns – from tabletop to large standing pieces. And with their open wicker construction, they don’t feel so heavy on your deck or patio. These decorative lanterns work perfectly with our new flameless Luminara outdoor candles too. These outdoor candles have the same lifelike flame as indoor Luminara candles, but they’re made of outdoor-friendly materials that can stand up to the warmth and humidity of a summer evening. Near the Luminara candles, you’ll find a selection of beautiful glass hurricane candle-holders in a variety of sizes too.
Green + Colorful Plants
Once the weather warms up, you can complete the look of your space by adding in a few patio plants too – like bird of paradise or neanthe bella palm. Try hanging Kimberly queen ferns to help enclose the area and create a more intimate setting. Or try flowering tropical plants like hibiscus or bougainvillea for added color. If you’re looking for even more color, consider adding flowering hanging baskets or planters around your outdoor space.
