I don't think I would have selected that finish for your exterior dining set. I would have either matched the lounge chairs or selected something darker.

You could always select an area rug to anchor the dining table and chairs.

The patio appears to have no lighting. How do you use it at night. Potted trees with uplights would add some texture to the space. You can select ones with cords or use rechargeable puck lights in the base of the plants.

there are six can lights in the ceiling. 25’ high. love your ideas for lighting the planters!

Oops, I (and others) commented in your other post on the same subject and I posted a rendering there.
