A bistro set or two chairs with small table is sufficient.
Large Space Tips
Large rooms can embrace more dramatic glam elements: substantial crystal chandeliers, generous mirrored furniture, and luxurious seating arrangements. Create intimate glamorous zones within the larger space. In a larger back porch: Large back porches become true outdoor rooms: dining for 6+, lounge seating area, perhaps outdoor kitchen elements. Multi-functional outdoor living.
