Outdoor Bistro Table Setting- Café Core

June 18, 2025

We have been on a Bistro Table Setting kick, creating our own Café Core moments all over. Love having options to gather. The goal with Café core is decor that details the settings felt while dining out. A cozy place to gather, socialize and feel a sense of belonging! Somewhere you want to linger longer.

Café Core in the Backyard Bistro Table-

We recently added a round table and chairs by our pool. It’s a favorite spot to eat when playing in the pool, you don’t miss out on any of the fun! I wanted to add a little more color than we had before.

This cute blue checkered rug is fun to define the space and a soft place to walk. (More table options HERE).

Basket Planters // Outdoor Umbrella // Stripe Cabana Towel // Tulip Pillow // 47″ Al Fresco Table // Al Fresco Chair // Chair Cushion //
Checkered Rug // Side Table

The striped yellow seat cushions are so cheerful and accent the blue nicely. A little cushion on these iron chairs to make lingering longer a little more comfortable.

This blue and white pagoda umbrella was the perfect addition to give our space a café core look…the curved edge is so pretty! Same look as my white umbrellas. Heavy duty and simple umbrella stands are a must.

Then, to pull everything together, these hand hooked blue and yellow tulip pillows added so much charm and color! Perfect size for a chair.

Matching yellow striped towels on our pool lounge chairs.

We love our cozy spot!

This darling pink detailed serving tray will be perfect to serve morning fruit, cheese and croissants just like we loved in Paris!

Came together so cute. Inviting but also intimate. Lights always help with that vibe. This portable lantern is perfect for a table!

Café Core Sister’s Front Porch-

Café core doesn’t have to be bright colors. Just cozy and intimate. We refreshed my sister’s front porch with a bistro table and swing. Everything linked HERE.

Bright and airy front porch with bistro table and café lighting above. And repeating the colors in nature is a great way to pick colors! Love how the Japanese Maple Tree matches their front door now.

Café Core on our Front Porch-

Our front porch this summer had me leaning toward that same vibe!
