Holidays
Whether it's Easter, Christmas or the 4th of July, you can show your holiday spirit with a beautifully set table. We'll show you a few ideas to create a showstopping patio table.
An Egg-cellent Setting
Spring has sprung. Gorgeous colors and flowers are in abundance, so bring them to your Easter table. Layer tablecloths and runners in various pastel colors. Top them with melamine plates in different colors and patterns. Add in gingham napkins, dyed eggs and a vase of tulips for the prettiest patio table in the neighborhood.
Red, White & Blue
Dress up your 4th of July table with these easy decor ideas. Hang American banners, bunting and flags. Add gingham or red, white and blue linens. Finish with a sprinkle of star confetti. Layer in festive desserts, such as watermelon slices, martini glasses filled with blueberries, star cookies and cakes.
Tis the Season
For those in mild climates, a screened-in porch is a lovely gathering spot. Wall heaters and blankets make it cozy. Dress the table with a holiday-patterned tablecloth. Pine sprigs and berries are used for place settings and the centerpiece. Tapers in a candelabra look elegant. Add a small tree, string lights and a wreath for a festive touch.
Celebrations
Are you preparing for a children's birthday party, football season or a Halloween extravaganza? Here are a few ideas to dress up your patio table.
Birthday Soirees
For a child's birthday party, a low-profile patio table can be made with cinder blocks, a piece of plywood and covered with a tablecloth. Add crates and floor pillows for the kids to sit on. Hang balloons, string lights and flag or birthday banners throughout. Coordinate your paper plates, napkins and cups to tie it altogether.
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Fall means football and you'll want to show your team spirit. Using faux grass, paint pens and some white electrical tape, create your own football field tablecloth. Layer in mini footballs, whistles and mini play chalkboards. Decorations and even cornhole games for your favorite team can be found in our NFL fan shop.
Halloween Movie Night
Combine two fun activities into one with a Halloween movie night for kids. Have them dress up in costume and grab their favorite popcorn and candy from a patio or folding table. Lay out blankets and floor pillows to enjoy a movie in the backyard. Lowe's has Halloween decorations and movie projector screens to make this celebration a memorable one.
Seasons
Depending on the climate, you may be able to use your patio year-round.
To maximize your time outdoors, you can also add in patio heaters, outdoor fireplaces and blankets for the colder months. Think about ceiling fans, portable fans and misters for those extra hot and humid days.
We'll show you four creative ways to decorate for every season.
Pillow Talk
This bright and happy picnic table setting screams spring (or summer). Striped throw pillows in various pastels line each bench. Small glass vases filled with pink and yellow roses pull in color from the textiles. White candles in mismatched holders run the length of the table. It's a simple, yet sophisticated look for an evening under the stars.
When Life Gives You Lemons
Whether you're in Capri or Tennessee, this lovely table looks like a summery delight. And table settings don't have to be expensive. At this event, they ran a cheery yellow runner down the table and lined it with greenery, lemons and yellow flowers in ceramic vases.
Striking Gold
Think outside the traditional red and green decor for Christmas. On this covered patio, they decided to go for the gold. Chargers, wine glasses and flatware are in various gold and brass tones. Large cylindrical vases are filled with light green, gold and white ball ornaments. White cotton napkins are tied off with ribbon and a eucalyptus stem.
