Outdoor Entertaining: How to eat, drink and be merry in a small garden - When the sun comes out, it is fair to say that we Brits are outside like a shot, taking advantage of the days hot and outdoor dining while the good weather lasts. Whether it's a cup of tea or a quick morning garden part of the afternoon with friends, we all love eating and entertaining outside, even if we have only the smallest of course, a pint patio size or a narrow strip of grass to call our own. Get inspired by these dining spots and create a small entertainment haven of your own.

bright white vibrant green to make the combination of the most uplifting colors in this cute exterior suntrap. The table and modern white chairs offer the perfect place to share a bottle of wine or a fresh pot of coffee.
Paint all your garden walls in a clean, fresh white will open up a small space and help to bounce light around.
This neat neat look is extremely practical, too, with fake grass and potted plants.

Maximize balcony
Forget the lovely gardens and spacious terraces on the roof - there beachfront Teeny proves a balcony can be a wonderful place for outdoor dining. The transparent railing prevents the feeling of the closed area, while a few chairs and a side table are all you need for a drink and a snack.
While most of us are not lucky enough to have the sea at our door, you can still make the most of a small outdoor area with a few chairs traditional garden and an oversized ottoman hard, weather-resistant material.

Kiss the robust
If the clean lines and smooth acrylic still popular not just your garden design bag, small spaces also look fabulous dressed with weathered wood and rustic furniture.
The backdrop of crumbling brick and wood planks well worn injects character of masses in this hemmed-in space - but always in a modern way. For evenings evening, simply sprinkle with candles and fairy lights and watch the brilliance of the space to life.

Saturate with color
Teeny outdoor spaces to eat should not be devoid of color and personality just because they are small. This terrace funked-up roof was fashioned from smooth decking lengths and finished with lavish mirror panels and bright orange and pink pillows, so that you get the maximum color, even when the sun does not shine. And how about the vibrant glass floor panel for a creative way to add color to toe? It is an ideal place for a relaxed brunch and when night falls, becomes the coolest party hotspot in the city ...

Working in a round table
round tables create a more sociable atmosphere for flattering and nibbling at the same time, and even a small roof terrace or balcony can squeeze in a round table and some chairs. Choose spacious seats like these in resistant rattan (check that they are weather resistant) if you have the space, or bend metal ones if you work with a tiddlier spot. Plump and a table with a hard, stable glass top, or opt for a colored metal design with folding legs.

Bask in the glow
I like the relaxed tranquility of this roof terrace for many reasons. The dark blue walls offer a magical hue shift, depending on whether you are enjoying a sun-filled sandwich twelve o'clock, and coffee or a twilight meeting with friends. Installation of a series of wall washers improves ambient glow, while the comfortable chairs and folding table integrated bench and offer enough seats whatever the occasion.
Soften the look with a range of evergreen creepers, and the lavender plant for the sweetest perfume while you eat.

Dare to decorate
the small courtyard was treated as an extra room rather than a garden. And why not? It makes a practical space more flexible and allows you to continue your flair interior with the exterior.
The choice of the table and vintage chairs elegantly affected and they blend well with the Moroccan-style tiles busy and Perspex deer scene lighting with deep conviction design.

open a narrow space
This is a refreshing change from the usual open layout and proves that all the interior should follow a rigid design program. Because instead of linking seamlessly with the kitchen space to eat outside, this room opens to a place sheltered outdoor dining with a large table and chairs that would look both inside elegant.
In winter, the show will still benefit from the pleasant illusion the room is larger than it is , thanks to the huge glass doors.
