How to Style the Perfect Alfresco Table (Without the Plastic)

How to Style the Perfect Alfresco Table (Without the Plastic)

There’s something magical about dining outdoors — the light, the laughter, the laid-back mood. But too often, alfresco dining comes with single-use plastics or mismatched plates that take away from the experience. At STYLD., we believe your outdoor table should feel just as stylish and sustainable as the one inside your home.

Here’s how to create a picture-perfect alfresco table — without the plastic.

Choose a Colour Story for the Season

Start with a simple palette. Soft lemon yellows and coconut whites feel fresh for summer mornings, while moody blues and warm neutrals create a cosy backdrop for autumn evenings. Your tableware sets the tone, so select goblets and plates that tell your seasonal story.

Mix Practicality with Style

Unbreakable Drinkware

Our silicone goblets are perfect for beach picnics, poolside cocktails, or backyard brunches. They’re sturdy enough to handle the outdoors, but designed to look beautiful in every setting.

Multi-Use Tableware

From chopping boards that double as serving platters, to Placekins that act as both napkins and placemats — multi-use pieces keep entertaining easy and stress-free.

Layering Textures: The Secret to Effortless Style

Think beyond the tableware. Add towelling for softness, a linen cloth for movement, and seasonal flowers for colour. These little touches make your table feel styled — but not staged.

Final Touches: Flowers, Lighting, Details

Fresh herbs in a small vase, a cluster of candles at dusk, or even a string of fairy lights can transform your outdoor table. It’s about layering those moments of joy that turn dinner into an experience.
