“Whimsical.” I resisted that descriptor for a long time, but you know what? A little whimsy is fun! I’m embracing it.
I’ve been noticing several styles of fanciful outdoor dining chairs lately. Sort of a modern take on the ornate cast iron Victorian garden furniture, and I’m into them. So let’s play a little game! Which table, chairs, and planters would you pair together for a whimsical outdoor dining space? I’ll show you my choices below.
Ready to see which ones I’d pull together, along with the accessories? Here we go…
From above, I’d pair numbers 3, 6, 9, and 11 (renumbered below to make things extra confusing). I love the look of both CB2 chairs together (numbers 3 and 4, and also the featured image), but I wish the more simplified version was armless, so I’d go with IKEA’s Läckö chairs along the sides. Bonus: that combination lowers the price substantially at $30/chair instead of $269! More money in the budget for pretty string lights, I say.
Which ones were your favorites? Tell me in the comments!

I also love that black and white planter! So great!
