Outdoor Living, Elevated: Get Ready for Cooler Weather 

As the temperatures finally start to fall, it’s time to make the most of your outdoor areas. From a beautifully styled balcony to a sumptuously furnished terrace, an inviting al fresco spot enhances your homelife, providing additional space for lounging and entertaining. Whether you want to create a nook for quiet moments with a book or an enchanting enclave for open-air entertaining, Crate and Barrel has just what you need with its inspirational selection of outdoor furniture and accessories.

Show your outdoor lounge some love

An outdoor area should be open and airy, so it’s best to ensure you’re maximising the available floorspace. An L-shaped sectional sofa can make use of the corners, creating more room for a coffee table or even a fire pit for atmospheric evenings outdoors. If space is at a premium, turn to our slimline sofas and adjustable chaise lounges – just right for a compact balcony or patio. 

An accent table transforms a seating area into an entertaining zone, providing a space to place drinks, snack platters, and style-defining decorative accents. We’ve made it effortless to coordinate your coffee table with your seating, featuring contemporary wooden and wicker designs, or take a modern approach with a sculptural cement table. 

Delightful al fresco dining

Dining under the stars is magical, and whether you have a spacious poolside deck or a pretty private terrace, Crate and Barrel has a range of dining options to suit your space. Always be ready to take your meals al fresco by creating a stylish dining area. Our dining furniture range includes tables for two, four-seaters for intimate family suppers, and large tables for bustling social gatherings. Take your time over an open-air feast with our collection of exceptionally comfortable chairs, including luxurious upholstered designs.

Create enchanting tablescapes for your outdoor dining experiences with our modish tabletop range, with options for both elegant and relaxed settings. Browse our durable melamine dinnerware and find the ideal finishing touches, from airy linens to rustic basket caddies. 

If you have the space, an outdoor grill opens up a world of al fresco opportunities. Fire up the grill for informal family gatherings or add drama to your dinner parties, sizzling prime cuts to each diner’s specifications.

Curate a cosy ambience

Crate and Barrel’s artisanal outdoor furniture confidently sets the style tone, but be sure to enhance the al fresco ambience with thoughtfully chosen accessories and lighting. Adding a rug to your lounge or dining area is one of the simplest ways to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Why not style blankets and throw pillows across your outdoor seating for an enticing and polished finish? 

Planters filled with lush tropical plants bring a lovely natural element to your outdoor styling, and they can serve a practical purpose too, offering shade or helping you zone off different areas in this open-plan setting. Finally, introduce candles, lanterns, and solar-powered outdoor lighting into your outdoor spaces for that dreamy after-dark glow.
