As patio ideas go, adding a colorful coffee table is such a quick and easy way to give your garden a fresh new look for spring. Put a little thought into what color will work best in your backyard, and this small addition can have a big impact on your overall garden design. Picking out a patio end table that matches the tone of your favorite border blooms will draw attention to the flowers, while choosing a shade that’s more of a minor player in your planting palette acts as a cohesive backyard accent.

Consider what tones sit opposite on the color wheel for a strong contrast, too: an orange garden table will accentuate blue blooms, and vice versa, while yellow and purple shades will make each other appear more vibrant when placed together.

Aside from the cheery color-pop, adding an end table to your patio is always a smart idea. A small patio table is so handy stood next to an outdoor armchair, ready hold a cold drink and snacks, and is easy to move around. A slightly larger, folding table gives you flexibility if you have guests over, fancy a lazy backyard brunch at the weekend, or need a side spot alongside your barbecue when grilling. A low coffee table also doubles as a footstool when the urge for a sneaky afternoon snooze hits.
