Summer Dining Room Ideas to Refresh Your Home This Season

There is a seat for everyone at the table this summer at Urban Natural with all kinds of styles on offer just waiting to become a part of a summer dining set. Here are just a few options to give you an idea of the possibilities. The Bok dining chair provides a modern and graceful solid wood form that makes any dining set feel instantly fresh. Available in Oak and Teak in a variety of colors and finishes, the Bok is a summer staple that will last you all year long. If something upholstered is more your speed, look no further than the Bertoli side chair, a sophisticated classic made of alder hardwood and ready to be upholstered to your liking in dozens of the fabrics on offer. Light breathable linen or a colorful pattern giving a pop of color are both easy ways to make your dining set stand out and suit the season. If flexibility is paramount to your summer dining arrangements, the Spindle Bench can comfortably accommodate three adults and is easy to pull up to any table to expand your guestlist, while not in use it tucks easily away to become a stylish and functional accent piece. Or follow your own vision and mix and match to your liking to create the perfect combination for your entertainment needs.

With your table ready to go and seats enough for every guest, it’s time to make a decision on how to set the tabletop. One easy way to get that effortlessly chic look is to mix and match dinnerware and glassware to give a laid back, summer friendly vibe. These handcrafted pieces provide the perfect canvas to express yourself.

East Fork Pottery offers an array of gorgeous dinnerware and serving platters handcrafted in Asheville, North Carolina out of all natural materials. Their pieces are perfect to add that ineffable artisanal touch to any setting. For those drawn more towards the timeless elegance of cultured classics, Sabre Paris flatware and serveware is the very height of continental distinction. Made in Paris and coming in a rainbow of playful and eye-catching colors, Sabre’s pieces give any summer setting the rustic, family feel of a thoughtfully packed picnic, all while being dishwasher safe and made to last.

If you’re on the hunt for drinking vessels, value and sustainability find the ultimate intersection in our Mexican glassware; handblown out of recycled glass in the state of Jalisco, each glass is unique, telling the story of its making through its particular curves and character. For hosting at night, explore our range of hand-dipped candles to create an intimate, homey ambiance. Or you can make your setting a textural delight by layering summery linens with your tablecloths, place settings, or napkins to keep things light and relaxed. Naturally the centerpiece of any summer table should be the bounties of the season: beautiful summer blooms. Set your floral arrangement off just right with a well-chosen vase that will ensure your statement is well supported.

If hosting alfresco is more your speed, be sure to check out our outdoor dining furniture. Weather friendly tables, benches, chairs, and ottomans provide endless options for those who like to dine in the open air. It’s the perfect time to take advantage of the season, and that means picking pieces you know will last a lifetime and be part of your summer plans for years to come.
