Ceramic outdoor side table design

Each table here has a ceramic tile top on an iron frame, a classic patio look with French country roots. Tops show floral patterns in distressed hues, black and blue florals, blue and white or gray and white mosaics, or solid yellow tile. Frames are matte black or a bright yellow-orange, powder coated on select models. The tile wipes clean and handles sun and rain.

Ceramic tile side table sizes

These are compact accent tables. Most tops are 14 inches square or 13.8 inches round, and heights run 21.4 to 23.3 inches, about right beside a patio chair. One low design stands 13.8 inches tall with a 21.4 by 13.8 inch top, sized to sit beside a lounge chair. Tables weigh about 11 to 13 pounds, so they move easily, and one is rated to hold 50 pounds.

Round ceramic side table and square shapes

Choose square tile tops on scrolling legs, including one with a round slatted lower shelf for a potted plant, or round mosaic tops on four curved legs. Square tops line up neatly against a wall or railing, while round tops are easier to walk around on a crowded deck. A pair, one on each side of a bench or loveseat, gives everyone a place to set a drink without sharing one table.

Ceramic side table indoor use and care

These tables work indoors too, as a plant stand, a phone table or a perch beside a sofa. Outdoors, wipe the tile with mild soapy water and dry it, check the frame for chips in the coating and touch them up, and bring the table under cover in freezing weather, since water left in the tile joints can crack them.

Frequently asked questions

What size should an outdoor side table be?
An outdoor side table should be about the height of the chair arm beside it, usually 18 to 24 inches, with a top large enough for a drink and a plate. The ceramic side tables here are about 14 inches across and 21.4 to 23.3 inches tall, plus one low 13.8 inch table for a lounge chair.
What should you put on an outdoor side table?
Put a drink, a book, a small potted plant or a lantern on an outdoor side table, and keep it light so the table stays easy to move. A ceramic tile top handles wet glasses and plant pots well, and the table with a lower shelf gives a second spot for a planter.
How tall should a side table be?
A side table should be about level with the arm of the chair or sofa next to it, within an inch or two. Most ceramic side tables here stand 21.4 to 23.3 inches tall, which suits standard patio chairs, while the 13.8 inch table pairs with a low lounge chair or chaise.
How do you decorate a side table on an outdoor balcony?
Decorate a balcony side table with one plant or lantern and leave space for a cup, since balcony tables are small. A patterned ceramic tile top already adds color, so keep accessories simple, and choose weather-safe pieces such as a ceramic pot or a battery candle that can stay outside.
What type of patio furniture is the most weather resistant?
Ceramic, powder-coated metal, aluminum and resin wicker are among the most weather-resistant patio furniture materials. Ceramic tile does not absorb water or fade like fabric, and a coated iron frame resists rust while the coating stays intact. Covering small tables in winter extends their life.
How do you clean patio furniture?
Clean patio furniture with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth or brush, then rinse and let it dry. On a ceramic tile side table, wipe the tile and grout lines, then dry the iron frame so water does not sit at the joints and start rust.
