Create the Perfect Bistro Corner: Tips and Inspiration for Bistro Sets
Summer is slowly approaching so it is time to get your garden or balcony ready for the warm weather, because what could be better than enjoying a delicious meal or a cup of coffee outdoors? A bistro set is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to turn their balcony, terrace or garden into a cosy spot. In this blog, we will take you through the world of bistro sets and give you tips to choose the ideal set for your outdoor space.
What is a bistro set?
A bistro set consists of a small, round or square table and two chairs. Bistro sets are inspired by French cafés and bistros. Their compact size makes bistro sets ideal for smaller outdoor spaces, such as balconies or small patios, but they can also be a charming addition to larger gardens and terraces and can easily create a cosy corner.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Bistro Set
1. Measure Your Space: Before purchasing a bistro set, it's important to measure the available space on your balcony, terrace, or in your garden. Ensure that there is enough room to move comfortably and to potentially add decorations. This prevents the space from feeling too crowded or cramped and allows you to create the perfect bistro corner.
2. Choose the Right Style: Bistro sets come in many different colors, sizes, and styles. Consider which style suits your outdoor space best. Do you prefer a classic, modern, or vintage look? Take into account the colors and materials already present in your garden or on your balcony and choose a bistro set that complements them well. This creates a cohesive and attractive atmosphere that aligns with your taste and style.
3. Comfort: Pay attention to the seating comfort of the chairs. The chairs of bistro sets can feel hard because they are made of iron, so consider adding chair cushions for extra comfort. Not only do chair cushions improve seating comfort, but they can also add a touch of color and style to your bistro corner. This ensures that you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space comfortably.
4. Functionality: Think carefully about how you intend to use the bistro set. Is it primarily for breakfasts with two people, or do you also want it to be suitable for drinks and dinners with friends? This helps you determine the size and type of set that best suits your needs. If you plan to move the set frequently, for example, to sit in the sun or shade, also consider the weight of the furniture. Lightweight, foldable bistro sets are ideal if you value flexibility and convenience. By considering these factors, you can choose a set that is not only stylish but also practical and functional for your specific use.

3. Ambient Lighting: Ambient lighting, such as lanterns and windlights, can create a relaxed atmosphere and are ideal decorations for next to or on a bistro set.

Tips for maintaining a Bistro set
Although iron bistro sets are durable and weather-resistant, some maintenance is needed to keep them looking their best:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the set with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Use a mild detergent if necessary.
- Rust Prevention: Regularly check for rust spots, especially on welds and joints. For small rust spots, use a wire brush to remove the rust and then touch up with anti-rust paint.
- Weather Protection: Although iron sets are weather-resistant, extra protection is beneficial. Use outdoor furniture covers to protect the set from extreme weather conditions when not in use. If you have space to store your bistro set indoors, it is highly recommended.
An iron bistro set is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add style and durability to their outdoor space. Whether you have a small balcony or a spacious garden, a bistro set can provide the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. With the right decorations, you can make your bistro set even more attractive and inviting.
