Bistro table sets are great on the porch, in the sunroom, or in the backyard. They're an easy way to add some extra seating and a lot of ambiance to almost any area. But choosing the right bistro set for your space is important.
Selecting a Bistro Set
When it comes time to select a bistro set, your first concern should be where to put it. If you're placing the set outdoors, make sure you purchase one that's durable enough to withstand sun and rain. If the set will be indoors or on a covered porch, you'll have a little bit more flexibility, but you should still plan on purchasing a set that is durable and well-made to ensure maximum enjoyment.

Your bistro set should be in proportion to the size of your space. If you have a fairly large room or patio, consider a large bistro table set, with an extra-wide table and four or more chairs. If you don't need all of the chairs, you can simply put some away until they're necessary- and in the meantime the set will become a focal point in the space.
If, on the other hand, the area you're planning on decorating is rather small, you may want to stick with a bistro set that is on a small scale so that you don't create an overwhelming impression with the furniture. A table for two can be romantic and fun even on a small porch or in a tiny sunroom.
Making Space for Your Bistro Set
Make sure that the bistro set you choose fits easily into your space without overcrowding or making it difficult to get in and out of the chairs. If the area is especially small, try to purchase a bistro set with armless chairs so that less room is required for each one. You may also want to consider a bar-height bistro set, which stands higher than other furniture and creates the illusion of more space.
Finally, make sure the bistro table set you choose matches the decor of the room you're placing it in. Bistro sets come in a wide variety of styles, and it's easy to find the perfect one to match and enhance any imaginable decor.
