How to Arrange Outdoor Tables for the New Season: Harmony, Comfort and Feng Shui

by Leonarda Martimucci 22 May 2025
With the arrival of the new season, the days get longer, the weather gets milder, and the desire to enjoy outdoor spaces grows. Whether it's a garden , a terrace , or a patio , the arrangement of outdoor tables becomes a fundamental element for creating welcoming, functional, and aesthetically balanced environments. In this article, we offer practical advice inspired by the principles of Feng Shui , the ancient Chinese art of environmental harmony, to transform your outdoor spaces into true havens of well-being.


Start by observing space

Every outdoor space has its own identity. Before arranging the tables , consider:
  • Sunlight during the day
  • The presence of trees, walls, fences or other structural elements
  • The type of flooring or lawn
  • The passage of the wind

These elements influence both the comfort and energy of the space. According to Feng Shui , it's important not to counteract natural forces but to embrace them: arrange tables so they're protected but not suffocated.

Table positions: protection and opening

Feng Shui recommends placing tables with a "protected back ," that is, near a wall, hedge, or structure that offers symbolic stability and physical shelter. Avoid leaving tables "empty in the center," without any containment element, as this creates a sense of instability. At the same time, leave the front view open , preferably toward a garden , fountain, or green space. This symbolizes openness to prosperity and mental relaxation.

Round, square, or rectangular tables?

The choice of shape is not only aesthetic, but influences conviviality and energy:

  • Round or oval tables encourage conversation and a fluid flow of energy . They're perfect for intimate settings or to create harmony among diners.
  • Square tables represent stability and order. Ideal for well-defined spaces and a modern, minimalist style.
  • Rectangular tables are the most versatile, suitable for large families or long spaces. They should be arranged with balance, avoiding having one side too close to a wall.

In our Domus Habitat shop, you'll find a wide range of tables with shapes designed for every need, designed to last and enhance any space.

Passage space and freedom of movement

Each seat around the table should be unobstructed , leaving at least 70-80 cm of space between the chair and any wall or barrier. This not only improves practicality, but also promotes a harmonious flow, both from a Feng Shui and convivial perspective .

Preparing your outdoor space for the new season means revitalizing your home and your daily life . By following Feng Shui-inspired tips and choosing functional, quality furnishings, you can transform even the smallest balcony into a haven of well-being.
