A Smart Approach to Enhancing Your Outdoor Umbrella and Table Set-Up



While your patio umbrella table may be functional, it’s often lacking in the style department. Most of these tables tend to look quite similar. To give theirs a personal touch, some people add stylish placemats, vases, candles, and decorative bowls. However, not everyone has the budget or patience for such embellishments. The thought of carrying all that decor in and out for alfresco dining can be cumbersome. But by incorporating a floral tray in the center of your umbrella table, you can avoid this hassle.

Consider this: you don’t need to remove it when it rains. It serves as an eye-catching centerpiece without taking up excessive table space. Plus, creating this DIY piece requires just three main items: a Bundt pan, your choice of flowers and plants, and potting soil. You can purchase a pan for under $10, such as the Novery 9.5-inch Buntz Cake Pan, or find one for less at thrift stores. Even better if you have an old cake pan at home. This budget-friendly decor offers the perfect finishing touch to your backyard patio.
