Dining room furniture could find itself on the patio as summer begins to come to an end.
Homeowners may be inspired to take their dining room furniture out onto the terrace or patio following comments from one property expert.
In a blog for Terrysfabrics.co.uk, Helen Green explained how people should make the most of the summer they have left and eat outside more.
She wrote: "This might be your last chance to share special times with friends and family on the terrace or patio – with stylish dining of course."
In addition, the specialist stated it is fantastic "being in the open and yet knowing you are still within your own home".
And her comments could lead to growing numbers of people deciding to eat outside - or even buy new dining room furniture for the special meals.
This follows recent advice from Ms Green that suggested black furnishings in the dining room are coming back in fashion.
She explained the shade can enhance the space even if it simply serves as an accent to another colour.
