6 tips for Outdoor Entertaining in Style with Mobelli

Just because it is winter, doesn’t mean the outdoors are out of bounds when it comes to outdoor entertaining.

Mobelli Furniture + Living show you how to entertain with class and style no matter the weather…

Comfort zone

Create a relaxed atmosphere by incorporating different seating options such as bar tables and stools where guests can gather for drinks, the Alto bar table and stools from Mobelli is an ideal choice. Being made from power coated aluminium it’s easy to clean in the event of spilled drinks. Alternative lounge seating creates a more intimate setting where guests can linger in comfort late into the night. The latest looks have moved away from wicker styled furniture to fully upholstered lounge sofas such as the Bravo. These upholstered lounge suites offer the style of an indoor lounge suite but can be left outside in any weather, come rain or shine.

On the side

Side tables are incredibly useful for platters or snacks and as a resting place for guests’ drinks. These provide easy access as they can be dotted around your entertaining area. There are a host of options to choose from, including the Flora end table. This is the perfect solution as the integrated handle makes it very mobile.

Come one and all

Having enough dining space to accommodate everyone can be tricky, especially when extra guests show up. An extendable dining table is the ideal option in this case. Choose a table that extends quickly and easily to seat extra guests. The Grande extendable table from Mobelli does exactly that and can seat 4 extra guests at a moment’s notice. Combine this with the Grande bench which is ideal for seating the kids.

The hosts friend

Don’t get caught up running around getting drinks for everyone. Make life easy with a drinks-trolley or two. Set these up so you have everything on hand. Why not create a couple of stations where guest can help themselves? The Baratolo drinks trolley has a space for everything including bottles, glasses and more. If you prefer something more contemporary, the Salone drinks-trolley offers style and simplicity.

Gather around

A focal point such as an outdoor heater, is nice for guest to congregate around even during summer. Keep your guests cozy and warm, as well as creating a soft ambiance.

Set the mood

Outdoor lighting can make all the difference to the tone of your entertaining space. The illuminated lighting collection from Mobelli is available in a host of options. The orb balls can light up pathways or accent areas of your space. With plenty of colour and light effects available, you can create a lighting scheme to suit your party theme.
