When it comes to designing your commercial outdoor space, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. From resort courtyards to café patios, every venue has its own layout, atmosphere, and customer base to cater to. So why settle for standard settings when a custom outdoor dining set could transform your space completely?
Not Knowing What Will Work
For many business owners and managers, choosing outdoor dining settings for their space can feel overwhelming. Should all the chairs match? Will a bigger table eat up too much room? What if it doesn’t suit the décor, and will it survive the coastal climate?
We hear these questions a lot at Daydream Leisure Furniture. The pressure to get it right often results in decision fatigue – or worse, safe (and often uninspiring) choices. But playing it safe with generic sets could mean missing out on a better use of space, stronger functionality, or a much more memorable customer experience.
A Mismatched Space or Wasted Investment
When the dining furniture doesn’t physically or stylistically fit the space, it shows. Imagine: Chairs jammed too close together, a table that rusts after one summer, a layout that lacks cohesion. For commercial venues, these missteps can mean negative guest impressions and money down the drain.
In contrast, thoughtful, custom outdoor dining sets allow you to design around how your space is used: how people move, where the sun hits, what the views are, and what kind of dining experience you want to deliver.
The Solution: Create a Custom Outdoor Dining Setting with Daydream Leisure Furniture
At Daydream Leisure Furniture, we believe flexibility is your biggest asset. Creating a custom outdoor dining setting is all about mixing and matching the right pieces to suit your exact commercial needs – whether that’s space-saving tables, stackable chairs, or styles that compliment your brand. Here’s how:
Mix Table Sizes
Don’t limit your layout to one large, fixed table style. Use a combination of:
- Compact square tables for small groups or balconies
- Extendable or Rectangular tables to accommodate variable group sizes
- Round tables to soften the layout and encourage conversation
Our Nardi Resin Rio Extension Table (pictured below) is popular among commercial venues for this reason – clean lines, flexible sizing, and built to handle the Sunshine Coast climate.
Choose Chairs That Work For Your Setting
Different spaces call for different features. For poolside cafés or beach resorts, opt for:
- Resin chairs like the Nardi Range – weather-resistant, stylish and stackable
- Lightweight aluminium options for quick setups and easy rearrangement
Want a pop of colour or texture contrast? Choose chairs in complementary tones that still coordinate with the overall setting.
Create Zones with Your Outdoor Dining Sets
Segment your space with different groupings to enhance flow and function. For example:
- Use bar tables and stools in casual or high-traffic zones
- Keep dining chairs and traditional table settings in shaded or formal dining zones
- Add lounge elements nearby for a post-meal relaxing area
These variations make your outdoor dining area feel purposeful, not pieced together.
Stick to Commercial-Grade Quality
At Daydream Leisure Furniture, we offer a wide range of high-quality outdoor furniture that is built to handle the Sunshine Coast conditions. Whether you’re using resin, aluminium or other materials, your custom outdoor dining sets should last season after season with minimal maintenance. That’s why we recommend using our trusted commercial-grade options.
